Travel

You arrange your own travel, and it's simpler than it sounds.

Flying in - Montgomery Regional Airport (MGM) is the closest. There are no nonstops from the New York area, so you'll connect.

Delta, American, and United all serve MGM.  Montgomery is on Central Time, one hour behind New York.

Extending your trip? If you'd like to see other important sites, such as those in Birmingham or Atlanta, you may want to fly into those cities and drive to Montgomery. Birmingham is about 90 miles away, roughly 1¾ hours. Atlanta is about 160 miles, roughly 2½ hours.

From the Montgomery airport - Taxis, Uber, and Lyft wait outside baggage claim. The M, an on-demand shuttle, costs $1.50 a ride.

Getting around - You won't need a car in Montgomery. Most of what we'll see is within walking distance, and a free shuttle links the museum, memorial, and monument.

Selma, Saturday - Those who wish will travel the 50 miles to Selma to walk the Edmund Pettus Bridge, about an hour each way.

Sunday - We worship together at 10:30 at St. John's. Those flying home that day go straight to the airport afterward, so book a flight at 2:30 PM or later. Those extending their trip carry on from there.
