TRAVEL INFORMATION
For those of you able to accommodate your schedules, we recommend flying into the Twin Cites on Thursday and leaving town on Monday, that way you will be able to get settled in when you arrive and also relax and clean up after the Z-Health workshop on Sunday (there are no showers available at the training center, so if you leave from there, you may have an uncomfortable flight or drive home). The Z-Health workshop is scheduled to end at 4:30 p.m.
You'll be flying into the Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airport (http://www.mspairport.com/MSP/). The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) is located just 12 miles from downtown Minneapolis.
As a hub, the Twin Cities benefits from non-stop service to nearly 130 domestic destinations, nine Canadian cities, four European cities, two Asian cities and 10 destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America. MSP offers more non-stop service than many other U.S. cities with larger populations.
Northwest Airlines, the fourth largest airline in the United States, is headquartered in the Twin Cities. Along with Northwest, travelers have their choice of major domestic airlines including America West, American, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Trans World Airlines, United and US Airways.
With 12 domestic airlines, three international and four regional airlines, travelers can connect to every major city in six continents. Arriving and departing flights of seven charter airlines also keep the Lindbergh and Humphrey Terminals buzzing.
TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION
The Hyatt Regency does NOT have a shuttle from the airport, but there is an Airport Super Shuttle ($14 one way and $23 round-trip; costs are estimates and may vary slightly) which you can find at the Shuttle & Taxi area. Advance reservations can be made online at www.supershuttle.com or by calling 1-800-BLUE-VAN (1-800-258-3826).
Airport Shuttle service is available in the Transportation Center at MSP in the Lindbergh Terminal building. Follow the signs located in the baggage claim area.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT MINNEAPOLIS SKYWAYS
