[nfb-talk] Transportation from Dallas Airports to Anatole Hotel via SuperShuttle reduced rate

Wed Jun 27 15:28:52 UTC 2012

Here below is information on the reduced rate anyone flying into Dallas Love Field or Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport may use to shuttle between the airports and the Hilton Anatole on arrival and back to the airport when convention ends. Make your reservation at least 24 hours before you fly to Dallas. Note: Some agents are charging one dollar more "for a gas surcharge" than our contract says because their office computers are not updated, so take your choice whether the savings in money anyway and your time is worth paying one dollar more or you prefer the hassle over trying to get them to remove the extra dollar.

Instructions for the SuperShuttle ground transportation.

For Anyone flying to National Convention,

To use the SuperShuttle service, you have to make a reservation before arriving in Dallas.  You can go online to http://www.supershuttle.com to use the online reservation system or you can call 1-800-258-3826 and make your arrangements with an agent.  Make sure to give the agent our group code discount number C58BM and talk with the agent about booking your travel; SuperShuttle will charge $14 one-way or $26 roundtrip.

Once you arrive at DFW or Love Field follow these steps to use SuperShuttle:

1)    Collect your luggage then go to the courtesy phones located adjacent to the luggage carousel and call SuperShuttle using the touch screen system or call an agent on your cell phone by dialing 972-615-3005. 
2)    To ensure the discounted rate, give the agent our group code number: C58BM  
3)    The agent will advise you on the closest loading zone.  All SuperShuttle loading zones are located on the upper levels and they do have curbside service agents to assist.

When convention ends:
Unless the agent gave you other instructions when you arrived in Dallas, follow these instructions when leaving the Anatole:

1)    24 hours prior to your scheduled departure flight, call the SuperShuttle agent (972-615-3005) to arrange your return transportation.
2)    Be outside the Anatole's main lobby at your scheduled pick-up time.  Make sure to confirm which lobby is considered the main lobby.

For thrifty organizers, you can save more money by arranging ground transportation for a group of 10 people.  SuperShuttle will give 10 passengers a ride for $80...that's $8 a person, $16 roundtrip, saving you $10.  (Dallas has two different airports, make sure everyone you are including in your group is going to the same airport and on the same flight.)

Alicia:

I believe the information is in the April Monitor. Below, find an
abbreviated version:

The link to the shuttle service for National Convention is:

http://yellowcheckershuttle.hudsonltd.net/res?USERIDENTRY=G119810&LOGON=GO

National Federation of the Blind

Airport Transportation Web Reservation Portal

(service provided by GO Yellow Checker Shuttle)

Safe, Convenient and Economical

GO Yellow Checker Shuttle is the convenient option to airport traffic and
parking madness. No lugging luggage or leaving your car parked in some dimly
lit airport parking lot. No stress from driving a rental car in a strange
city.

GO Yellow Checker Shuttle delivers you stress-free every time. Need help
making your reservation? 866-903-1900

That's the blurb. If a number of people are going on the same trip, I
believe it might be less expensive to share cabfare. I forget the exact
charges. Cheryl Echevarria, who, I believe, reads this list, has all the
relevant information.

Hello, all.  I have a question for those attending Convention in Dallas. 
Does anyone have information regarding transportation options between DFW 
airport and the Hilton Anatole, and the prices for said transportation? 
Usually I see something about this posted in the Braille Monitor by this 
time, or on the Convention page of the NFB website.  However, I've seen 
nothing about it so far.  Any info about options and pricing would be much 
appreciated.

Alicia
