6. How do I get transportation from the airport when I arrive?

Students will arrive at San Antonio Internation Airport (airport code is SAT). Students desiring military transportation to DLIELC from the airport should report to the Military desk (or USO) at terminal 2, or lower level on the way to baggage claim in terminal 1 in the airport. Upon arrival at those locations, pick up the DLIELC phone (a direct line to DLIELC that is free of charge) and ask for transportation to DLIELC. Military transportation of dependents is on a space available basis only. Students arriving late at night should expect a short delay in transportation arrangements. Shuttle bus service is available from the airport direct to DLIELC at the following times: 0500, 0800, 1300, 1800, and 2300. Taxi cabs are available ($35.00 for 1-4 people) but you may present your receipt to the finance office for reimbursement if you receive funds from IMET. Public transportation (bus) in the U.S. is generally not practical for reporting to class. If the above locations cannot be found, call DLIELC at 671-2929. Local cost is 50 cents.

7. What on base amenities are available?
