Traveling to Durham, NH
By Air:
Air service is available at Boston's Logan Airport, Manchester (NH) Airport, or
Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth, NH. If you're staying at the New England
Center (see Lodging information), transportation is available to deliver you there
directly. If you plan on renting a car anyway and can get the flight arrangements,
Manchester Airport is the most convenient and least amount of traffic headaches.
For Logan Airport, besides the traditional car rental agencies, C & J
Trailways (1-800-258-7111 outside NH, 1-603-742-5111 in NH) operates a shuttle bus service
directly to downtown Durham, as well as stops in Dover, NH. Once in Durham, the New
England Center is within walking distance (about ½ mile). The bus stops at the Lower
Level of all terminals in Logan. Car rentals are also available at Manchester Airport and
Pease Tradeport, but no shuttle service except the New England Center transportation is
available. Delta and United Airlines offer service to Pease Tradeport. Please call if you
are having troubles getting transportation from any of the airports, as we may be able to
make arrangements to get you picked up and delivered.
