Sadly, I have to be responsible and stay home with the kiddo, who started kindergarten this year. Didn't want to have to ask the in-laws to get up unnecessarily early to have her at school on time, blah blah blah. I'm bummed...but whatevs. -

@scottalanmiller Yes..so far everything about having started school is not fantastic, although my daughter loves it. I'm still not adjusted to getting up at 6 am every day. I know.. I know..lazy SAHM problems.

Taxi isn't bad but fairly expensive. Capital Metro is inexpensive and stops at a fair number of places.

I personally use the the local bus. Bus #100 leaves form the lower level area every half hour on the :00 and :30. Takes you right downtown and only costs $1.50
Cab and Uber and all that work like anywhere else and cost appropriately more.
Very few of the downtown hotels have an airport shuttle, but some do. you may wish to check that.

I was recommended this as well, though was told it was $1.75 ea way, and bring exact change as they don't have any.
Thanks for the additional information on where to find them Jared. -
The green dot by the word "Bouldin" is the Embassy Suiites. The next one after that is the Raddison.
And yup, fare is $1.75

Here is the location from the current Google Street View image. Lower level all the way forward in front of the taxi pickup area. It is labeled Capital Metro.
The other way

Thanks for the info everyone! Very helpful.

No problem. I take the bus every year when I arrive. I have yet to wake up early enough to take the bus when I leave though.
Instead that is a mad scramble for a taxi NOW NOW NOW... -

What's the transit time from downtown to the airport?
-
it is about the same. 30 minutes. but the bus is outbound every 30 minutes same as it is inbound.
So just a matter of being awake a bit earlier than you need to be for a taxi.
