hey there, has anyone taken a trip to the Derby? Im flirting with the idea of going next year and would love some feedback. What's the best airport (coming from LAX)? Any tips to make this experience as inexpensive as possible?
Louisville Intl. Airport (SDF) is a cab ride away. Cincinatti and Lexington are 80ish miles away, so they are easily doable if flights to SDF don't work for you.
I live about 3.5 hrs away. I will tell you this, you need to plan about a year in advance. Hotels within an hour are nearly impossible. Rates are ridiculous! Plan well ahead!!
