Driving and rental-car considerations
The drive from Passport Inn And Suites Chaplin to BDL takes about 57 minutes by car. If you’re arranging a rental, check its pickup and return instructions before setting out. Allow for the drive in both directions when planning your airport arrival or return.
Taxi and pre-booked car options
A taxi or pre-booked car may be an option to arrange, but no provider names, fares, booking rules, or pickup details are available here for a Chaplin–BDL journey. Ask the service directly whether it covers the route and where it will collect you at the airport.
When comparing quotes, confirm the total fare and the arrangements for your pickup. The supplied journey estimate is about a 57-minute drive; it does not establish a taxi price or guarantee a travel time.
Shuttles and public transport connections
CTtransit provides two airport bus connections: the 30-Bradley Flyer to downtown Hartford and Route 24 to Windsor Locks Railroad Station. Neither fact establishes a direct bus from Chaplin to BDL, so check how you would connect between Chaplin and either bus route.
30-Bradley Flyer
The 30-Bradley Flyer provides semi-express, direct service to the Connecticut Convention Center and Union Station in Hartford. The trip between BDL and Hartford takes approximately 30 minutes. It operates every 40 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, and approximately hourly during early morning hours, late at night, and on Sundays.
At the airport, board at Terminal A’s baggage claim and arrivals level, outside Door 6, at the marked outer-curb bus stop.

Allowing time for your airport journey
For a drive, use the supplied estimate of about 57 minutes as a planning reference, rather than treating it as a guarantee. For public transit, account for the bus leg and any connection you need to make between Chaplin and the service; no Chaplin-to-bus-stop journey time is provided.
CTtransit directs passengers to its route map and schedule for more information. Check the official sites for details: use CTtransit for bus routes and schedules, and Bradley International Airport for airport ground-transport information.
