<h3>By Air</h3>
<h4><a href="http://www.flybtr.com">Baton Rouge Metro Airport (BTR)</a></h4>
<p>The newly-renovated Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) is located 7.8 miles from the meeting site in Downtown Baton Rouge and is served by American Airlines, Delta and United. Information on ground transportation to and from BTR can be found <a href="http://www.flybtr.com/CaseStudies/CaseStudies.asp">here.</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.uber.com/">Uber</a> service between the Baton Rouge Metro Airport and SSB conference hotels is available for passengers with scheduled pickups/dropoffs, and usually runs in the range of $12-$15.</p>
<p>Taxi fare from the Baton Rouge Metro Airport to conference hotels downtown is <a href="https://www.taxifarefinder.com/main.php?city=Baton-Rouge-LA&from=9430+Jackie+Cochran+Drive%2C+Baton+Rouge%2C+LA+70807%2C+United+States&to=Hilton+Baton+Rouge+Capitol+Center%2C+Lafayette+Street%2C+Baton+Rouge%2C+LA%2C+United+States&fromCoord=30.5343014,-91.15730919999999&toCoord=30.4487599,-91.18984319999998">approximately $21.93 in light traffic, including 15% gratuity.</a></p>
<h4><a href="http://www.flymsy.com">Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport</a></h4>
<p>The New Orleans airport (MSY) is about 1 hour 15 minutes by car from the SSB meeting site. It is served by all major airlines, including Frontier, Southwest and Spirit Airlines and may offer lower fares. There is no direct transit from MSY to Downtown Baton Rouge, however, so renting a car may be necessary.</p>
<p>UberX fare from MSY to the meeting site in downtown Baton Rouge is often $80-$100. Taxi fare from MSY will cost approximately $170, including tip.</p>
