Is there public transportation available from the private side of Albany Airport?

On second thought...

These guys:

have a "crew car'!

How far is Saratoga Airport from City Center?

Thanks!

According to my DeLorme map 4.5 miles.

I have maps, too, but I was hoping the OP would come back with more detailed info, like taxi cab suggestions, public transportation info, an offer of a ride in exchange for a bit of sightseeing...

Unfortunately, I'm not terribly familiar with Saratoga Springs... I live about 90 miles from there myself and only go there for Showcase and to the trotter track each summer on a company outing.

Our club is large and geographically spread out so we have several chapters. The main group meets in the Albany area with a shop in Stillwater. I'm in the Mid-Hudson chapter which meets in Hurley, NY (near Kingston) and has a shop in Hurley (at the farm where the movie Tootsie with Dustin Hoffman was filmed). As it is, I'll be getting a room in Saratoga myself as I'm giving presentations on advanced handcut dovetailing and am involved with coordinating some activities...

I'll be wearing a name tag so say Hi if you see me!

This is a good show, and I've seen some excellent presentations. Roy Underhill actually sweat (sweated? swat?) on me last year. And Saratoga is a nice town, too. I'll be there.
