We recommend arriving the day before your training begins to give yourself time to settle in and get a good night’s rest. On your final day, training usually wraps up by early afternoon, so evening departures are generally suitable.

We’re conveniently located near two major airports.

1. San Antonio International (SAT) – Our top recommendation. It offers a wide range of carriers and is just about an hour’s drive from Fredericksburg.

2. Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS) – Also a great option, located roughly 1.5 hours away by car.
