Flying
The T.F. Green airport (code PVD) is located in Warwick, RI,
approximately 9.4 miles (and 15 minutes) from downtown Providence and
Brown, and is served by most national and regional airlines. Cabs
are available at the airport.
Boston's Logan Airport (BOS) is a good second choice. Boston is about
an hour away from Providence, and the transit system between there and
here is fairly good. Take a Peter Pan bus toProvidence (approximately a
50 to 60 minute ride). Take a taxi to Brown from the bus station
(approximately a 5 minute ride).
