How Airport Transportation Works

All airport transportation must be booked online using the registration form below. Please schedule flights into and out of St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) only. Wrestlers arriving the night before camp will stay overnight at our facility with coaches, and a light dinner is provided. If a flight arrives earlier than the scheduled pickup window, campers may need to wait in baggage claim until pickup time. 

Flight Scheduling Guidelines

Arrival Flights

  • Book flights into STL only
  • Schedule arrivals between 12:00 PM and 9:00 PM the night before camp starts
  • Campers stay overnight at the facility with coaches
  • A light dinner is provided. 

Departure Flights

  • Schedule departures after 6:00 PM on the final day of camp
  • Earlier departures mean your wrestler will miss the final review
  • Final airport drop-offs are typically around 7:00 PM, depending on the schedule.  

Unaccompanied Minor Policy

Purler does not provide airport pick-up or drop-off for unaccompanied minors due to staffing requirements. According to the current policy:

  • Southwest Airlines: unaccompanied minor = under age 12
  • All other airlines: unaccompanied minor = 14 and under

That means:

  • Under 12: must fly with an adult both ways
  • Ages 12–14: may fly alone only on Southwest
  • Over 14: may fly alone on any airline. 
Book direct flights whenever possible to avoid connection issues.

Pick-Up Instructions

Please send your wrestler in a Purler or wrestling t-shirt for easy identification. Purler staff will be wearing Purler Wrestling t-shirts.

Meeting Points

  • Southwest arrivals: Terminal 2, Baggage Claim 1
  • All other airlines: Terminal 1, Baggage Claim 4

About 4–5 days before camp, Purler sends pickup group schedules by email. About 2 days before arrival, wrestlers are added to a group message with their driver and pickup group so they know exactly which exit to use, who their driver is, and what vehicle to look for. 

Transportation Pricing

Airport transportation is $75 total round trip or $37.50 one way per wrestler. The round-trip fee includes transportation to and from camp, dinner the night they fly in, breakfast the next morning, and the extra night’s stay. Families should also plan ahead for any airline bag fees on the return flight.
