Thanks for the update and shuttle times. I'll be flying in to IND on Saturday at 6:52 PM so hopefully I'll make it for the 8:20 Star of America shuttle. Anyone else coming around the same time? Any idea how long does it take to get to the IND airport from Bloomington? I have a flight back to Copenhagen on Thursday at 2:37 PM. What's the preferred shuttle then, the 10:40 one?
