Travel Information for the 2008 EHA Conference in New Haven, CT
Travel to New Haven (General Information)
There are many ways to get to New Haven for the meeting. The most convenient by plane is through Bradley (BDL), located near Hartford, Connecticut. From there, you have several options: the free non-stop bus organized by the EHA (seating is limited), an EHA subsidized shuttle ticket, taxi (expensive) or rent a car (relatively cheap). Newark (EWR) in New Jersey is also fairly convenient, because of good rail connections to New Haven. From the other New York area airports, John F. Kennedy (JFK) and LaGuardia (LGA), participants can use an EHA subsidized shuttle ticket (limited availability), or rent a car. All of these airports are served by numerous airlines. In contrast, Tweed New Haven airport (HVN) is served almost exclusively by USAirways. The EHA recommends that the participants use either Bradley, New Haven, or Newark, since they are by far the most convenient in terms of ground connections to the hotel.
Other options include travel by:
Subsidized Travel to and From Airports
Thanks to generous support from Yale University, the EHA is able to offer subsidized transportation to and from several of the airports, although space will be limited. To use these services, book your flight first, then contact the Meetings Coordinator, attaching your itinerary to your email message. Seating is limited and seats will be confirmed on a first come first served basis. Please note that the free shuttles we are providing operate on a predetermined schedule. If you are delayed, we cannot hold the bus for you, nor take responsibility for arranging or paying for other transportation. Further information and reservations for the free shuttles and subsidized limos can be obtained from the Meetings Coordinator, Jari Eloranta ( , 828-262-6006).
