Re: Travel for Championship Qualifying Teams

Is there anything we can do ahead of time? (other than fundraising of course... we are raising with the goal of having enough to go, so that we can always save it for next year if we dont).

Any ideas/suggestions? Im sure this has come up before, but I wasnt able to find what I was looking for in a search.
I think Airtran is your best be from Rochester.
I don't know if Jetblue flys to Atlanta or how often.
