Approx. 8-10 minutes to downtown
by car
Akron-Canton Airport

TBA
to venue
Approx. 55-65 minutes by car
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Comfort Inn Cleveland Airport
USD 115–145 / night
Best fit for attendees flying into CLE who want free parking and an airport shuttle; add 20-25 minutes each way for the downtown venue.
Holiday Inn Express Cleveland Airport - Brook Park by IHG
USD 175–236 / night
Captured as the highest band of the airport-corridor set; useful when downtown rooms are sold out during a busy meeting week.
Hampton Inn & Suites Cleveland-Airport/Middleburg Heights
USD 115–145 / night
Suites-oriented airport property; practical for exhibitor teams with a vehicle and freight drop-offs rather than a walkable downtown stay.
Downtown Cleveland hotels near the Lakeside Avenue venue
USD 160–240 / night
Area-level planning band for walkable downtown rooms, not a quoted property rate; booking early matters if other Key Tower or convention-district events overlap the OAIS dates.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
RTA Red Line rapid transit
The Red Line connects the airport terminal walkway to Tower City in roughly 25 minutes; from Tower City it is a short walk or a 5-minute rideshare to the Lakeside Avenue venue district. Cheapest reliable airport-to-downtown option for a single traveller.
RTA HealthLine bus rapid transit
Useful for reaching the venue district from downtown hotels along Euclid Avenue; frequent service with level boarding and short headways on weekdays.
Rideshare (Uber or Lyft)
Pickup is from the designated rideshare zone outside the CLE terminal. Baggage-friendly and the fastest door-to-door option for teams of two or more.
Taxi
Taxis wait on the terminal curb at CLE; agree the destination district with the driver because the venue sits among one-way downtown streets.
Hotel airport shuttle
Comfort Inn Cleveland Airport, Holiday Inn Express Cleveland Airport - Brook Park and Hampton Inn & Suites Cleveland-Airport/Middleburg Heights all list an airport shuttle amenity. Shuttles usually run on request, so confirm hours with the front desk.
Driving and downtown garage parking
Driving gives flexibility for exhibitor freight and suburb stays but downtown parking adds both cost and time; pre-book where an app lists a garage.
Walking
The lakefront blocks are exposed to wind off Lake Erie in April, so carry a rain shell even for short walks between hotel and sessions.
Weather
Mid-April is a shoulder-season window in Cleveland: climatological averages put daytime highs near 58 F (14 C) and overnight lows near 40 F (5 C), with sharp day-to-day swings and a realistic chance of rain during a five-day meeting. Lake Erie wind makes the Lakeside Avenue blocks feel colder than the forecast number. Air quality captured from the Open-Meteo forecast for the Cleveland coordinates showed a US AQI around 37 with PM2.5 and PM10 near 3.1 micrograms per cubic metre, which is a forecast value rather than an on-site measurement; sensitive attendees should check local advisories before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
US mobile networks use 120 V Type A/B plugs at 60 Hz, so European and UK attendees need a plug adapter and, for higher-draw devices, a voltage converter. A prepaid US eSIM from a major carrier is usually cheaper than roaming for a five-day meeting; venue and hotel Wi-Fi covers email and session slides but assume patchy coverage in large ballrooms. Downtown Cleveland has good LTE and 5G coverage, and the RTA Red Line route to the airport keeps a data signal for most of the trip.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Tipping and payment
Cleveland follows standard US tipping: 15-20 percent at restaurants, a dollar or two per drink at bars, and a few dollars for hotel housekeeping or shuttle drivers. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, but carry a small amount of cash for tips and garage attendants.
Dress for a medical society meeting
Business casual is the norm at allergy and immunology society meetings, often with a jacket for faculty and exhibitor medical staff. Comfortable shoes matter more than formality because sessions and the exhibit floor sit in the same downtown complex.
Session etiquette
Arrive a few minutes before the first morning block for badge checks and handout distribution. Question-and-answer time is usually short, so approach faculty after the session or at the exhibit stands for case-specific discussion.
Downtown wayfinding
Lakeside Avenue runs along the lakefront edge of downtown, a short walk from Public Square and Tower City. One-way streets and the bluff between the mall district and the waterfront make a rideshare sensible for anyone with mobility limits.
Lakefront weather habits
Locals check the wind off Lake Erie before choosing a coat; April afternoons can feel noticeably colder near the water than a few blocks inland. A compact umbrella and a water-resistant layer are more useful than heavy winter gear.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Captured itinerary searches were run for a 10 April 2027 departure into Cleveland (CLE) with a 14 April 2027 return, and Google Flights prices include required taxes and fees for one adult, with bag charges extra. New York JFK-CLE showed nonstop and one-stop options, while London LHR-CLE routings connected via Dublin, JFK or Newark. Fares fluctuate, so re-run the search closer to the meeting dates before booking, and compare Akron-Canton (CAK) if a low-cost carrier serves your origin.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Cleveland Hopkins International Airport: Approx. 20-25 minutes to the Lakeside Avenue district in normal traffic; Burke Lakefront Airport: Approx. 8-10 minutes to downtown; Akron-Canton Airport: Approx. 55-65 minutes by car. Allow road or rail time to Marriott Downtown Key Tower; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Marriott Downtown Key Tower: Cleveland Airport area: Comfort Inn Cleveland Airport; Brook Park (airport corridor): Holiday Inn Express Cleveland Airport - Brook Park by IHG; Middleburg Heights (airport corridor): Hampton Inn & Suites Cleveland-Airport/Middleburg Heights.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate across Cleveland, with dedicated pickup zones at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and standard curbside pickup at downtown hotels. Expect roughly USD 30-45 for the airport-to-downtown run in normal traffic and USD 8-15 for short hops within downtown. Surge pricing is common around the evening rush and after large convention sessions end, so allow ten extra minutes or walk if your hotel is within a few blocks of the venue.
Public transit: The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) runs the Red Line rapid from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to Tower City in about 25 minutes, plus the HealthLine bus rapid transit along Euclid Avenue through downtown and the waterfront lines serving the lakefront districts. Standard single rides are approximately USD 2.50 with day passes available; buy at station machines or through the RTA app and keep the ticket for inspection. For the Lakeside Avenue venue district, Tower City is the most useful downtown station, with a walk of about 10-12 minutes or a short rideshare onward.
Parking: Downtown Cleveland parking is mostly in commercial garages and surface lots within a few blocks of Lakeside Avenue and Key Tower, typically priced around USD 15-30 per day with higher event rates when the convention district is busy. Some garages can be pre-booked through parking apps, which is worth doing if you are driving in for a single day. Confirm clearance heights if you are in a van or with exhibitor freight, and check whether your hotel package already includes garage access before paying twice.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: April 2027 (meeting window around 10-14 April)
Temperature: Approx. 40-58 F (5-14 C) across overnight lows and daytime highs, with occasional warmer spikes and cold snaps; averages only, so check the short-range forecast in the final week
Seasonality: Spring in Cleveland is unsettled, with rain showers and gusty lakefront wind plausible across the April meeting dates. None of the captured weather sources returned an official forecast for the 2027 window, so treat this as seasonal guidance and re-check a five-day forecast before packing.
Packing: Pack layers for cool mornings, a compact umbrella or water-resistant shell for April showers, and comfortable walking shoes for the downtown blocks between hotels and the Lakeside Avenue venue. Business casual is standard for allergy society sessions, so a smart jacket over a shirt covers both meeting days and evening dinners, and a light sweater helps in heavily air-conditioned ballrooms.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Ohio Allergy and Immunology Society - OAIS usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Block the clinical days on your practice calendar and arrange cross-coverage for immunotherapy shot visits and biologic injections during the Cleveland dates.
Book a refundable downtown or airport-corridor hotel room; Cleveland weekday rates rise when Key Tower and the convention district host overlapping meetings.
Compare flights into Cleveland Hopkins (CLE) against Akron-Canton (CAK) if you are flying from a Southwest or low-cost carrier hub.
Check your passport or REAL ID status and, if travelling from outside the United States, confirm ESTA or visa validity before booking non-refundable fares.
Download the RTA fare app or plan a Red Line trip from CLE to Tower City if you are staying downtown without a car.
Review the OAIS schedule and shortlist sessions on food allergy, biologics and immunotherapy protocols that match your patient mix.; Prepare two or three case questions for faculty or exhibitor medical staff, especially on extract dosing and auto-injector selection.
Pack layers, a rain shell and comfortable shoes for cool, changeable April weather along the lakefront.
Load CME tracking details and your professional licence number if the society issues attendance credits on site.
Set up an eSIM or confirm your roaming plan; US carrier guest passes and venue Wi-Fi vary in quality.
Re-check your flight into CLE and pre-book a rideshare or note the Red Line route from the airport if you land after dark.
Screenshot your registration QR code, hotel confirmation and venue address for offline access on arrival.
Confirm your OAIS 2027 registration tier (clinician, trainee or allied health) and keep the confirmation email for badge pickup at the Marriott Downtown Key Tower.; Collect your badge early, walk the exhibit floor for extract and diagnostics suppliers, and confirm session room locations before the first block.
