Getting to the airport — Groome shuttle

  • Service: Groome Transportation runs a shared shuttle from Gainesville to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL), every day of the year.
  • Pickup: 1810 Browns Bridge Rd, Gainesville, GA 30501 · (470) 252-7887 · groometransportation.com/gainesville
  • Fare: From about $29 per person — confirm the current one-way and round-trip fare when you book.
  • Reserve: Book online in advance and choose a departure that puts you at ATL about three hours before the 3:35 pm international flight.
  • Parking: Groome offers permit parking at its Gainesville office for up to 30 days — usually cheaper and simpler than parking at ATL for the full 16 days.

Worth knowing

  • Atlanta (ATL) is the world's busiest airport and international flights leave from the dedicated International Terminal (Maynard H. Jackson / Concourse F). Build in extra time.
  • Amsterdam is 6 hours ahead of Atlanta. Try to sleep on the plane — you land early morning and Sept 5 is a full sightseeing day.

Still to confirm

1 item
  • Book the Groome shuttle from Gainesville to ATL for Sep 4 — and decide Groome parking vs. dropping off a car.
🇳🇱 The Netherlands
Weather
Daytime high 64–70°F · evening / night low 52–57°F.
Note 1
Currency: the euro (€). Amsterdam is the easiest city of the trip for cards — use a card for most purchases (restaurants, museums, hotels, shops, transit).
Note 2
Carry only a small amount of euro cash for tips, small cafés and markets. If you need cash, use a bank ATM; avoid the currency-exchange booths, whose rates are usually worse.
Note 3
Pack as for the rest of the trip: short-sleeve shirts for the day, a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings, and comfortable walking shoes.
