Getting There
Getting to the Client from the Airport
Airport, transit, and ground transport for a business trip to each Fortune 500 headquarters — the companion to our where-to-stay guides, city by city.
Direct answer: Where you land and how you reach the client is half the trip — and the answer differs by city (Houston is a rental town with no airport rail; New York, DC, Chicago, and Atlanta reward the train). Pick a company below.
For each headquarters we map the closest airport, the honest ground reality, and whether to drive, ride, or take the train — reusing the verified addresses and airport guidance from our where-to-stay work. Every city is different, so each section carries its own real transit story.
