Are you planning to fly home -- or anywhere else -- during academic breaks?
UK Transportation Services offers free airport shuttles to Blue Grass Airport (LEX), Louisville International Airport (SDF) and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) for Thanksgiving and winter breaks, as well as spring break.
The airport shuttles depart from and return to Gate 6 at Kroger Field. Students who register to take a free airport shuttle will need to use the campus Blue or White Routes to get to Kroger Field on the day their shuttle departs. The Blue & White Routes operate from 6:45 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday. Upon return from break, students will be able to take the weekend Yellow Route from Kroger Field to campus.
Return trip pick-up locations vary by airport. Please see this page for return trip pick-up information.
