Amelia Island, Florida

Getting to and from CSSConf US 2014

The Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort is on Amelia Island in northeast Florida, just across the St. Mary's River from Georgia and adjacent to the historic city of Fernandina. The resort overlooks the azure blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west. Though private, secluded and protected by a gated entry, it is relatively easy to find.

It is just a short 45 minute drive from downtown Jacksonville, and 29 miles from Jacksonville International Airport. To make your journey to CSSConf a little nicer, we are arranging airport shuttles to and from Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) and the Omni Amelia Island for you. Please review the information below and ensure you understand how this will work before arriving at JAX as you may need to find other means of transportation based on your time of arrivals/departures. We are doing our best to provide transport for all, but unfortunately we do not currently have a sponsor for this, so we are doing our best.

The CSSConf Airport Shuttles

On May 26th, 2014, we will have shuttles leaving Jacksonville Airport (JAX) headed to the Amelia Island resort for individuals that have purchased an "Airport Transportation - May 26th" travel ticket. One ticket must be purchased for each individual riding the shuttle so we can best plan the traffic flow and ensure that everyone registered gets to Amelia Island. These shuttles will be loading passengers at the Pre-Arranged Commercial Transportation area, on the North side of the airport. If you are just entering the baggage claim area, this will be to your left and at the end of baggage claim. Please use the map below as a fairly good guide for your to find the bus station. The bus will have the CSSConf US 2014 logo, seen above, clearly displayed on the bus, so be sure to look for that!

The shuttle will run based on registered arrival times between the hours of 10:00AM and 8:00PM. The bus will not accept last minute travel ticket purchases so please, please, please book your travel tickets early. We will have staff at the airport to assist for part of the day, but not necessarily the whole day. If you get lost, in the middle of the baggage claim section there is an information desk that will gladly point you in the way of the Pre-arranged Commercial Transportation.

After the conference is over, we will have a similar shuttle that requires the purchase of an "Airport Transportation - May 28th" travel ticket which will gather your departure information. Much like the arrival shuttle, we will only run the shuttle back to Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) as needed based on the information provided by ticketed individuals. The loading zone for this shuttle will be located just outside of the main hotel lobby. It will depart from the hotel based on the data -- don't worry, we will send out an email to let you know which shuttle to take. Plan accordingly based on your specific departure time. Departures will run only from 7:00AM to 4:00PM based solely on the ticketed travellers.
