Now that the list is out, and there are 5 teams from New England on it I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread to discuss how we are all getting there so that we can be as resourceful as possible whether it is sharing a bus, or just sharing information about cheap flights, or travel routes. Although I may not be able to make it myself, I went for the first time last year and would like to see these teams be able to participate in this top notch event. So 40,121,126, and 190...what are your travel plans?
Although the drive last year itself was not horrible, doing it after a full day of work was just a bad idea. I do not have the time to take the drive this year (or maybe even fly
), but I have checked out some flights. I have found that Providence is fairly inexpensive to fly from to get to Indianapolis. I found prices starting at $188 round trip (including taxes and fees).
Also note that if you are getting transportation from the airport for the weekend anyway, Cincinnati airport is only about 100miles away. I have not found any cheap flights there right now, but the way ticket prices change it could be something to keep an eye on.
I’m just throwing out some ideas and hoping others will share too.
