Re: Charter to STL from New England?
I heard some of our mentors were considering a charter flight but decided against it. We have a similar number of people as you planning to go, but it was still cheaper to get plane tickets on a regular airline (although they were about $500 each). 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. |

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

Re: Charter to STL from New England?
1. Curious why you didn't contact me, your FIRST Senior Mentor...
2. Have you contacted Sue Glasspiegel, our Regional Director? She may have some sources for PR and/or funding. 3. Check with your school before committing to any charter flights. Many schools prohibit travel in this manner. |

Re: Charter to STL from New England?
I must plug Southwest Airlines here. After spending 2-1/2 hours total talking to customer care representatives say "no, that's all booked up" I have to say that my chat with SWA was much more tolerable than 2nd place, and they came in more than $120 under 2nd place.
A Student of mine called cheapOair and asked about group rates. Didn't know they did that. I'll post back on what we find out. |
