Without renting a car, what are the transportation options to get from the Birmingham airport to UAH campus?
The Huntsville airport is serviced by a limited number of airlines and Birmingham has a lot more flights, options etc.
There is no transportation options to Birmingham’s airport. That said, there are plenty of students from the area so perhaps your student can hitch a ride with one.
Look at flying into Nashville This company offers a shuttle service to Huntsville and from Huntsville. http://orbitsshuttleservice.com/
Nashville international airport is about 2 hours from Huntsville.
