FMGC 2013 - Planning, Roster, Suggestions, Invites

Yes, YYZ is Toronto.
The problem with flying to (anywhere in) Canada is that there are insane Airport charges and taxes added on. One of the many reasons a lot of Canadians fly out of Buffalo!
-
It would be cheaper for me to fly out of seattle to Buffalo too. (HALF)
If another party wants to work out a deal, I’m willing to plan flights-meet in buffalo- and share car/transportation?
-
The opportunity cost here is time, which equates to money in the sense of vacation time. I would have to take an extra 1.5 - 2 days off of work. With that in mind, Buffalo would be more expensive than Toronto. Damn that math stuff! Plus, direcct flights are nice and last year I was upgraded to first class for free. Woohoo!
@Most:
Looking forward to it. I need to book my flight soon or else the prices go up.
Why is it double to fly to YYZ compared to IND? It’s roughly the same distance. :-P
Is YYZ Toronto? I told you last year you should fly in to Buffalo. You’ll pay half even when you factor in the rental car which is also double in Canada.

Wow, the difference for SFO to BUF isn’t that much. It’s only about 67% - 75%.
-
Oh… well in that case. I’ll look at plan A.
Still need a CONFIRMED date though!

Jeremy said he’s getting very close to a date. Actually, isn’t the date set, he’s just keeping up all in suspense for the arrival of the FMGC website?

You would never do that to us David!
-
Yes, the date is set. We’re just waiting on the committee go-ahead to anounce it officially. Any day now.
-
I’m 15 minutes across the border from Buffalo, while I can’t enter the US I could pick anyone up at the border who is contemplating a route via Buffalo.
-
DJensen- Check out DTW and let me know.
Then I just might be persuaded to actually drive up. It’s a 3.5 - 4 hr drive from my area. That is IF there isn’t any traffic in TO. But there always is!!!
That also means you would have to spend a certain amount of time with me in a closed environment. A scary thought to be sure. :-o
All that though would be dependent on the date chosen. August is out for me, so keep that in mind.
-
@Craig Yope I think direct to Toronto is the only way I can make this trip happen. But if you’re only 4 hours away, you should definitely join us.
puts an envelope to his head and says…
"August"opens the envelope and reads…

MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD!
It seems that the 420 wing DOUBLE BOOKED that weekend and we were the 2nd booking. As a result we have to take the previous weekend of September 14th-15th.
Hopefully this doesnt cause any issues with anyone. Unfortunately there’s nothing we can do about this. The people who booked before us obviously get their booking ahead of us.
-
Woah, that was a close one. I almost booked my flight.

The hall dropped the ball, there’s nothing the FMGC staff could have done differently.
