Check that flight number, Sergio.
Should be VA399...I'm on it on the 17th.
thanks for the correction
Wow...so just tried booking my room and they said the room rate block is already sold out! Luckily I was still able to get a room there with my AAA discount, but...wow.
Just thought y'all should know.
It will still be PDT when the flight operates in October. </pedantry>
Someone lied to you, rooms are still available. If the event discount is cheaper, I'd suggest you call them back and explain. Sorry about that.Quote:

HOTEL UPDATE: Thought he Sheraton Gateway IS the event's hotel and we DO have a discount, they are still processing our contract so the discount hadn't been set up yet. We are told it will be another day or so. Sorry for the confusion, we will let you know once you're good to go! -Phil
Thanks for the update Phil!
UPDATE: Sheraton Gateway discount is finally arranged! You can book over the phone or online at this specially arranged link... https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/Star...3688&key=84BA1
Strong work Phil, just a update Phil emailed the hotel asking for the two bed option. I know there are several guys that most likely be sharing a room.

You guys have seen that they just moved up the first flights, correct? The LAX service now begins 24 September. Not sure if you want to change your dates as you won't be catching the first daylight arrival into LAX anymore, sadly.

That's UN week around here? don't think anybody wants to go to LA that week.
Haha, it's no big deal. The event will continue as the spotting event that it was intended to be...The BA A380 was just a bonus.
No big Deal at all!!! I may not be there for the start but will be there to catch it during the event!!
I booked a dirt cheap WN ticket that weekend about a month ago. I'll see ya on the Hill.
My flight booked!! All set for the trip!!:smile:
I just bought my tickets - I will be staying in Pasadena though; anyone interested in a Star Helicopters trip?
I think I might have to do this trip as well.
Hotel booked... 17-20, now shopping for flights...
Manny! wat time do u fly out? I booked DLflight 763 out of JFK for 7AM oct 17th.
No flights yet. Holding out until Thursday in case a special comes up... once in a while, I get lucky :)
Gotcha boss!Quote:

I hope someone can get the one airline I hated missing most, Yangtze River Express, if it even still flies there.
With one week to go, have any of the potential side events been finalized? I know there was talk about a dinner on Friday night...with close to 100 people attending this (probably more that haven't said anything), it would be good to know what is going on before we all get out there.
Not to mention, if there is a dinner, even if only half go that's 50 people. Any restaurant will be challenged to handle that without a heads up.Quote:
