<p>If I were to go to Williams, I would be coming in from the Midwest. What are the best ways to get to Williams from the Midwest? Thanks.</p>
<p>Fly to Albany, cab/shuttle the rest of the way.</p>
<p>I always fly into Albany and drive a rental car to campus. If you rent a car through hotwire.com, it is very inexpensive. Be sure to allow about an hour for driving time from the airport. Enjoy your visit!</p>
<p>Southwest Airlines flies into Albany, which is the closest airport - 45-60 minutes away. Other options are Hartford, Providence, Manchester, Boston, or even New York. If visiting, you'll have to rent a car to get to campus. For students, there is a reasonably priced bus service that runs between campus and ALB during the high volume periods - beginning and end of each term and at Thanksgiving and Spring breaks. Taxis can be quite expensive between ALB and campus.</p>
<p>Airtran flies to Newburgh,NY 2hrs away. They have x fares, which is basically stand-by for 79$ any where they fly, if you are between the ages of 18-22.</p>
