Air Travel

SVU strongly recommends you fly to Reagan National Airport (DCA) in Arlington, VA, across the Potomac River from Washington, DC.

Reagan National Airport

Reagan National Airport is approximately a 20-25 minute ride (8.5 miles) by Blue Super Shuttle or cab to the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, where the 2012 SVU Annual Conference and Vascular Annual Meeting is being held in conjunction with the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS). To make a Blue Super Shuttle reservation from Reagan National Airport, either call 1-800-BLUEVAN (1-800-258-3826) or go online to www.supershuttle.com.

If you fly into either BWI Airport near Baltimore, MD, or Washington Dulles Airport in western Fairfax County, VA, you are looking at a very expensive and lengthy airport shuttle or cab ride.

Mileage from BWI Airport

Mileage from BWI Airport (BWI) to the Gaylord National Hotel at National Harbor, MD, is approximately 45 miles and will take at least 1 hour, but could be much longer because of the heavy traffic/ongoing construction on the Washington Beltway.

Mileage from Dulles International Airport

Mileage from Dulles International Airport (IAD) to the Gaylord National Hotel at National Harbor, MD, is approximately 35 miles and will take at least 1 hour, but could be much longer because of the heavy traffic/ongoing construction on the Washington Beltway.

Thus, SVU strongly urges you to fly into Reagan National Airport to reduce your ground travel time and cost to get to SVU’s two 2012 Annual Conference hotels at National Harbor -- the Gaylord National Resort or the adjoining Hampton Inn & Suites at National Harbor.

Please note, the 2012 SVU Annual Conference IS NOT at the Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore, MD.
