Don't Panic at the Disco (or Departures Board): You Have Options
First things first, breathe. While the South Terminal is a separate kingdom, it's not Narnia (although spotting a talking armadillo wouldn't entirely surprise us in this quirky city). You have two main ways to get there:
The Freebie Flyer: The glorious courtesy shuttle runs like clockwork (about every 20 minutes) between the terminals. Just hop on the upper level of the Barbara Jordan Terminal and voila! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Budget travelers, rejoice!
Knights of the Ride-Sharing: If you're feeling fancy (or strapped for time), you can always hail a rideshare app. Just be prepared to explain "South Terminal" to your driver – it's not exactly common knowledge. Bonus points if you can convince them you're on a secret spy mission.
Important Note: While you can technically drive yourself to the South Terminal (it's at 10000 Logistics Ln. if you're feeling adventurous), there's no public parking available. So unless you have a designated driver with a serious case of wanderlust, stick to the first two options.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
The Great Timewarp: A Word on Travel Time
Here's the thing: The South Terminal isn't exactly next door. It's a good 15-20 minute journey by shuttle, depending on that ever-elusive friend we call traffic. So, factor that into your pre-flight planning. Nobody likes missing a flight because they underestimated the allure of watching armadillo roadkill (don't worry, it's a rare sight).
Pro Tip: Download a movie or two on your phone. The wifi at Bergstrom is pretty decent, and hey, who knows, you might even learn a thing or two about armadillo crossing signals.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
