San Jose Airport
The San Jose International Airport (SJC) is another option for travelers to CIAP 2011. A smaller airport than SFO, it's easier to negotiate, but there may be fewer flight options. The San Jose International Airport is approximately one hour closer to Asilomar by car or bus. CIAP does not support charter bus transportation to and from SJC. Please contact Monterey Airbus for round trip transportation from SJC to Asilomar.
Carpooling
The best way to find carpool partners from SFO or SJC is through our
page
or a bulletin board in the Main Lobby of Asilomar Conference Grounds. For more information regarding driving directions, car
rentals and alternative airports please see Asilomar's Website.
