Airport Shuttle

$15 gets you a prebooked shuttle run from AFO

The Airport Shuttle at Afton Municipal Airport (AFO) runs between the Main terminal and town for a flat $15 per person, each way. It works best if you lock it in ahead of time, since AFO is a small field and you can’t count on cars just waiting at the curb. Figure you walk out of the single Main terminal door, and the shuttle pulls up right by the short-term parking row.

Plan on a 30–50 minute ride, depending on weather and how many stops your driver has on that run. In winter around Afton, those extra 20 minutes show up fast when the roads glaze over. If you’re catching a specific departure out of the Main terminal, build that upper end of the timing into your schedule.

The service is scheduled roughly every 30 minutes, so you’re not getting big-city headways, but you’re also not stuck for half a day if you miss one. Treat it more like a prearranged ride than a true hop-on public bus. When you book, confirm your flight number and arrival time at AFO so the driver can align with your Main terminal exit.

At $15, the shuttle usually comes in cheaper than a taxi or single-rider car service on the short Afton routes, especially if you’re solo. If you’re traveling as a group of three or four, do the math; sometimes a single local cab can beat four shuttle seats. Ask upfront if the fare is per person or flat for your party on that specific run.

Here’s a simple step-by-step for using the Airport Shuttle from the Main terminal at AFO:

• 1. At least 24 hours before your flight, call or book online and give your AFO flight number and scheduled arrival or departure time.
• 2. On arrival, exit the Main terminal’s front door and walk about 50–100 feet to the signed shuttle pickup area near the first row of parking.
• 3. If your flight is late by more than 15 minutes, call the dispatcher so they can slide you to the next 30‑minute slot.
• 4. Pay the driver the $15 fare (confirm cash vs card when you book) and keep any receipt in case your airline or company needs proof.
• 5. For your return to AFO, book a pickup that gets you to the Main terminal at least 60–75 minutes before departure, since the ride can run up to 50 minutes in bad weather.

One practical tip: on snow or ice days, treat the ride as a full 50-minute leg of your trip and pad your airport arrival by at least another 30 minutes beyond that.
