I'm flying to John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) and arriving at nighttime (23:30). As I need to travel another two hours or so to get to my final destination, I'm thinking of staying at one of the hotels located around half a kilometre from the airport terminal, to then walk back and catch a bus departing from outside the airport terminal to my final destination.
This sounds like it would be walking distance, but looking at the map I only spot roads that look designed for cars and no pedestrian walkways. Consulting Google Maps' navigation tool, it told me to walk down the spiral that leads up to the car parking garage, which doesn't really sound like a good idea to me given that it looks to be designed for cars rather than people, so I'm not sure I'd be allowed to walk there even. There is a free bus I could take to transfer this distance (bus line 7 from Airport Baggage Claim to International Gateway & Sawyer Rd), but it looks like it doesn't operate at the time I arrive — according to Google Maps, the last one for the day departs from Airport Baggage Claim at 23:03 and after that there are none until 5:28 the next day. As my plane arrives 23:30, this is unfortunately not an option as far as I can tell.
Given this, it seems like my only real option apart from getting a taxi (which feels very silly given the short distance) is walking, but is this possible to do in a safe manner which also won't get me arrested at this airport?
