Arriving by Plane
The two best major airports for flying to Oxford, Ohio, are Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) and Dayton International Airport (DAY). Both are approximately an hour’s drive from campus and offer rental cars, private shuttles, and rideshare/taxi services. Please note that the hotels with reserved blocks for IDRS do not provide shuttles to/from either airport.
Rideshares to/from the airport may cost around $100 per Uber or Lyft ride; it is highly encouraged to coordinate airport transportation with other conference attendees to share this cost. Resources to assist in coordinating this transportation will be made available closer to the time.
Oxford may have fewer on-demand transportation options available for rides as far as the airport, so we recommend reserving a rideshare or shuttle in advance to ensure your travel goes as planned. For more help, please visit Enjoy Oxford’s transportation page.
