 Travel Scouts Tips:


1. It's always a good idea to confirm shuttle details and pricing directly with the hotel, as fees and availability can change.
 

2. If you are catching a shuttle from the airport, ALWAYS verify the shuttle you are boarding is going to the proper address of your hotel. Example- there are several Holiday Inns- make sure your shuttle is going to the specific Holiday Inn you are booked at.
