The University’s parking and transportation services office, in cooperation with the Office of Residential Life, is again offering airport transportation to students and others in the WUSTL community traveling for Thanksgiving.
Faculty, students and staff can purchase a $10 ticket for round-trip transportation between the Hilltop Campus and Lambert International Airport. Tickets will be available beginning Nov. 7.
The shuttles will run on Nov. 22, 23 and 27, with multiple departure times available each day.
Tickets can be purchased at the Wohl Student Center Help desk, which is open Monday-Friday from 1 p.m.-1 a.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 10 a.m.-1:00 a.m.; or at The Village Office, which is open Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.-midnight and Saturday-Sunday from 5 p.m.-midnight.
All shuttle departures will be from the area across from the clock tower on Shepley Drive.
Each bus will have a sign in the front window reading “Washington University Turkey Shuttle” and will go to both airport terminals on every trip.
According to airport regulations, all pick-up and drop-off points for the airport will be at the upper level of the main terminal, on the far west end near Burger King; and at the east terminal, at far west end outside the baggage claim.
The University Alumni Association will be on hand to greet students and provide each with a Thanksgiving survival package.
Those who wish to use the shuttle service are being asked to reserve a time slot as soon as possible. Because of the holiday rush at the airport, shuttle users should plan to arrive at the airport at least two hours before their flight’s departure.
In keeping with current policy, all students, faculty and staff will be required to provide a valid, current University identification card when securing their seat for the shuttle.
Families and significant others of employees and students also are welcome to purchase tickets for this service.
