Have never experienced such greatest kindness when it comes to service, helpfulness, and tips provided by San Antonio International Airport's service ppl. Within moments I had a wonderful clerk finding me the proper way for getting around, packed me with the right maps & material, helped me finding the Brook Army Hospital, then an appropriate accommodation, and even took the time for sharing with me stories on Germany where he earlier was stationed. For sure San Antonio International Airport & its great staff made my arrival in San Antonio wonderful & welcoming! As soon as the travelers are passing security, baggage claim, and are heading then for the exit, they come cross a good amount of Airport's service staff which immediately are helping out with immense, incredible friendly helpfulness. It's the same great service I have experienced with all the staff of DELTA either ground or air. Compared to Germany and its companies, Germans still need to improve when it comes to service and definitely when it comes to friendliness and helpfulness.
San Antonio International Airport is located in Northern San Antonio, approximately eight miles or 15 minutes from the downtown area. Loop 410 and U.S. 281 are the two highways providing access to the main entry points. San Antonio International Airport is serviced by 21 air-carriers: Aerolitoral, Aeromexico, American Airlines, Continental, Continental Express, Delta, and Delta Connection Carriers (ASA, Comair and Skywest), ExpressJet, Frontier, Mexicana, Midwest, Northwest, Southwest, Sky West, United & US Airways. These airlines collectively offer non-stop service to 43 different markets.

That's all I can say, come to this airport prepared. Especially if you are traveling on American, Continental, or UsAirways/America West. These airlines are in the original (oldest) terminal. If you are in tranist through this terminal after 7pm you will find NOTHING open, not the food court, not the starbucks, not the newstand.....the only thing that will be open besides the obvious ticket counter/gates and TSA security checkpoint will be the bar near gate 32. Bring your reading materials, bring your water......and remember, if you do opt for the bar that the FAA prohibits you from boarding a plane if you appear to be under the influence of alchol.

We happened to see a week-end special offered by Advantage car rental. Their shuttle picked us up at the airport and took us to their lot which was very nearby.
We got the Sebring which was a sporty car.
We kept it for one day and traded it in on a van that had more room to accommodate the 5 of us.
We liked the new van but the engine light came on and stayed on so we took it back and exchanged it for another van.

***Air: SAT Airport
***Bus: Greyhound from US (www.greyhound.com), Autobuses Americanos from Mexico (see tip)
***Car: I-35, I-10, H-281, and I-37, any of these highways or interstates will land you in San Antonio

Definitlye by car. The bus system sucks and we don't have a metro/subway.
Sample times to cities in Texas:
Houston - 4 hrs by bus, 3 hrs by car
Austin - 1 hour by car
Dallas- 4-5 hours by car
Laredo - 4 hours
El Paso - 7-8 hours

Fly into San Antonio International Airport, it is 13 miles from the downtown River Walk and is directly linked via expressway. INFORMATION 210-207-3411
There are shuttles (SATRANS) from the Airport to the Riverwalk area - it cost approx $15 roundtrip with tip.
The boats on the River Walk are a good way to see everything, otherwise I just walked. Taxi-Cabs are easy to find as well.

The airport is great or driving is easy.
There are buses, but a car is the best way to get around.

Plenty of parking downtown. You should be alble to find a spot within walking distance of the Riverwalk and Alamo.

Fly into San Antonio International Airport. Arrive by train or bus. Drive. Get here ANY way you can. Hurry! You don't know what you're missing.
Renting a car is probably the best way.
