When I go see him this time of year to book flights he says do not wait much longer to book or you will get shut out. Our airport is kinda big but not that big. Does not operate 24/7.

Sorry -- I didn't mean to suggest that it's too early to be booking for your trip, just that the Championship is too far away for farecast.com to be helpful.

My team is out of Southington,CT and we are about 30 minutes from Bradley and From Bradley to Atlanta is about $600 and I found that Newark to Atlanta flying with Continental Airlines is only $125.

WOW you got a better price than I did from Newark. The price I got from Newark to Atlanta is about $250. But if I have to take a bus anyplace I think I would rather take the chance to go from Birmingham to Atlanta than going from Connecticut to any New York airport.

Re: How much do you pay for airfare?
 
It's a problem getting flights from Htfd to Atlanta without going through Chicago or Detroit - which makes for a very long trip. I think last year it was over twelve hours from our door to the hotel in Atlanta, plus we had weather delays. We have several CT FRC teams which make the trip each year, on the same day, with large teams (30-45 people), and only a handful of flights that will take groups. And it's expensive. And while taking a charter with other teams would seem like a good solution, some schools won't allow it. Sports team airfares are usually a good way to book the flights. Or break up the team into smaller groups (just be sure you specify which names you want to go on which flights or you could end up with all students on a flight and all the adults on another flight! and that's another story in itself! :ahh: ...)
