I know that when we did the math on traveling from Massachusetts to Atlanta, it was significantly cheaper to fly than to bus.

I know at least for my team, that since we won the Palmetto regional and had one week to make arrangements, that to fly from New Jersey to Atlanta would cost approx $800 for plane and hotel. Thats a pretty hefty sum to come up with in a week. Instead we decided to take a coach bus down. While it will be an 17-20 hours bus ride
, the cost was lowered the nicer sum of $355. This also allowed for more members to accompany the team to Nationals.
