Airfare Search Tips

- fares change hourly, when you find a rate that you feel is good get it, fares can change hourly.

- don't assume that your favorite or commonly chosen airline still has the best rates or flight schedule.  Rates are always changing.  We suggest you check your favorites but then also do a general search on any of the following:

http://www.expedia.com/ 

http://www.orbitz.com/ 

http://www.hotels.com/

http://www.travelzoo.com/

- Check air fares at this time to get an approximate cost.

- The primary cost of any conference is the sum of travel as well as accommodation expense. Shop early for the best airfare.  Lodging Conference hotel is a discounted price which cna be further reduced if traveling alone and wishing to share a double bedded room with another conference participant.

- Online fares offered on airline websites are often the least expensive. You can also do a general search on any of the following:
