After attending the Chief Delphi Invitiational last year, I learned a lot from a break-out session about getting tickets early and how to deal with the airlines. We bought our tickets in December and got a great deal to go from Indiana to Texas on Continental. Your team leader needs to get those tickets early! As for our robot, as sponsorship, we get free shipping anywhere from BAX Global. They even did an article on us last year and put it in their quarterly magazine that goes out literally around the world! They've been great.
I've tried to hit airlines for all different types of sponsorship and so far, no luck.
