Re: Charter to STL from New England?

We found that returning to Providence was cheaper than Boston. We unfortunately weren't able to keep the whole team together on one flight.

As for fundraising, we decided to have everyone who was going to St. Louis place a down payment so we could pay for flights and then fundraise later and potentially reimburse people. We are planning a car wash and an e-cycling day, and we also sell lightbulbs at our fundraising events.
Which airlines, do you know? Did anyone try a group rate plan?

And I was considering the "pay now, reimburse later" scheme as you describe. Does that work?
