Flight
Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP) is small but convenient! Most major airlines fly in. Sometimes you can save a little money by flying into San Antonio Airport (SAT) instead and then driving the easy 2 hours down to Corpus Christi, so if your travel plans are flexible, you might consider that option, too.
Rental Car
CCIA partners with a number of affordable rental car companies, so reserve one when you make your flight and hotel reservations if you wish! If you are staying at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel, they provide free shuttle service to/from the airport. Uber and Lyft both operate on a limited basis in Corpus Christi; they are great options downtown, but don't always make it out to Calallen (where Grace UMC is). If you have concerns about transportation while you are here, please reach out to us so we can coordinate as needed.
Hotel
We have a room block set up for June 17-19 at the same hotel where the reception will be held. The Omni Hotel offers a luxurious vacation getaway feel at $129/night for a deluxe room. The hotel provides free shuttle service to/from Corpus Christi International Airport, and self-park in the garage is free for guests. You can specify how many nights you'll need (including adding nights) when you book your room. USE THIS LINK to reserve your room with the block discount: https://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/corpus-christi/weddings/rochte-votral-wedding-rooms-06172021 Please book no later than May 17 (sooner if possible - rooms go fast in the summertime!), or the rooms will be released.

Hotel
We also have a room block set up at the Best Western just down the street from our reception venue. It is an ideal option for a nice room on a budget. Rooms are $119/night for June 17-19 (you can specify how many nights you'll need, including adding nights). You must call to make your reservation; be sure to mention the Rochte-Votral Wedding to have the discount applied. Please book no later than May 17, or the rooms will be released. ON A BUDGET? If you prefer, there are many other hotels nearby that you can consider. We recommend Emerald Beach Hotel and Holiday Inn Corpus Christi Downtown Marina; both are within a 2-minute drive (5-15 minute walk) from the reception venue. Many other affordable hotel options are available further away from Shoreline, too. Air B&B and similar services are also abundant in Corpus Christi if that is your preference, but plan to book early because many people travel to the Bay during the summertime!

Travel Note
Traffic in Corpus Christi usually isn't too bad, but there can be some congestion and road construction on the major thoroughfares, especially around dinnertime, so you might want to consider budgeting an extra 5-10 minutes of travel time. Parking at Grace UMC is open; parking at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel and Best Western is free for guests; parking in the downtown area is a mix of free and metered, so please pay attention to signage.
