Travel Information

Airline reservations can be made to the Tucson International Airport or to the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. If flying into Phoenix is a better option for you than Tucson, you will be able to take advantage of the shuttle service between the Phoenix and Tucson airports. Shuttle services of this type end their route at their shuttle stations, not at the hotel, so you will have to pay for a shuttle or taxi to the Tucson Marriott University Park, in addition to the Phoenix to Tucson shuttle costs. Renting a car in Phoenix is also a good option.

Arizona Shuttle Service (520-795-6771 or 1-800-888-2749) http://arizonashuttle.com has service from the Phoenix airport every hour on the half hour starting at 6:30 a.m. The last shuttle leaves at 11:30 p.m. The fare is $22 one-way or $40 round-trip.

Travel time is approximately two hours. If you plan on using the shuttle service, make your reservations in advance with the shuttle company. When you call, ask when and where to meet them at the Phoenix airport.

See http://www.tucsonairport.org/airlines_serving_tia.htm for information about the Tucson airport. The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport web address is http://www.phxskyharbor.com/skyharbr.
