Travel
​
***The Atlanta airport is in the EASTERN time zone. Auburn is in the CENTRAL time zone. You should leave Auburn 4 1/2 to 5 hours before your flight time out of Atlanta (this considers the time change)***
Our preferred airport is Atlanta Hartsfield International. It is also the only one with daily shuttles to Auburn. When you land in Atlanta you will be on eastern time. During the 1 1/2 hour shuttle or rental car ride to Auburn you will change to central time (an hour earlier). Montgomery, Alabama and Birmingham, Alabama airports are similar in distance from Auburn if you prefer a flight or deal other than Atlanta.
For winter and spring clinics: Check in is at 8am on Saturday and clinic ends at 3pm on Sunday. You may want to travel on Friday - you would need a very early morning flight to get to clinic by start time if you fly in on Saturday. You will also need a late flight out on Sunday if you choose to fly home that day. 8:00pm or later Eastern time should work [based on Atlanta airport travel]. Riders and guardians will need to make their own lodging and transportation arrangements . Lunch is provided for riders only.
Lodging in Auburn
MAKE HOTEL AND RENTAL CAR RESERVATIONS EARLY. We recommend the Auburn University Hotel and Dixon Conference Center because it's our nicest hotel and is centrally located in the middle of our little downtown area, right across from campus. The Collegiate is our first boutique hotel and is also right downtown, on Gay Street. Also nice and slightly closer to the equestrian center are the TownePlace Suites, Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn, all on south College Street and about 5-10 minutes from the equestrian center.
