We are using Premier Transportation motor coach buses. These buses hold 56 passengers with plenty of space for luggage. Each terminal will have a greeter from Premier Transportation holding a sign with our logo on it. This is where you need to gather to wait for the bus.

  • Take the elevator to the lower-level downstairs.
  • Then exit/go outside and locate the Charter Bus Loading Zone (RED ZONE) designated by a large RED sign and red pillars.
  • Your greeter will be standing at this location holding a sign with the Elara Caring logo. Please check in with them so they can mark you off their list.

Buses will be picking up every hour starting at 10 a.m., with the last one at 5 p.m.
