Air

Birmingham's airport, which is located just north of the city, is served by several major airlines. If you are staying at the Pickwick, please call the hotel upon your arrival for a complimentary shuttle service. Otherwise, a taxi ride to the university area should cost around $20. For those wishing to avoid connecting flights to Birmingham, they may consider to fly to Atlanta and rent a car or use the shuttle service provided by Airport Express to Birmingham. Please note that advance reservations are required for the shuttle service. Call (205) 591-7770 Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, for information and reservations.
