Re: [quizbowl] NAQT in LA


Just as an additional clarifier to James' earlier remarks, JetBlue flies nonstop to Long Beach from Dulles and JFK (and nonstop from JFK to Ontario).  Including reasonable one stop destinations, they also fly from Burlington VT, Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse NY, 5 cities in Florida, Oakland, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City.  (Currently, purchasing a ticket on JetBlue from JFK to Long Beach for tomorrow's flight is $299 one way.  Advance purchase is $139.)
 
There is also ATA (American Trans Air?) which flies to Los Angeles from Chicago and Indianapolis.
 
And two notes about finding cheap airfares (which I only include b/c it seems that some of you aren't familiar with this stuff):
(1) Look for the secondary airports in or near major markets (Ontario/Orange County.Long Beach in Los Angeles; BWI in Washington, Providence in Boston, Midway in Chicago, Akron/Canton in Cleveland, etc)
(2) Saturday night stayovers generally are much cheaper than other flights.  If you can fly out first thing on Sunday morning for $300-400 less than taking a Saturday night redeye, you might want to consider it.

Southwest and other airlines to offer discount rates to teams/players 
to fly to Los Angeles.  JetBlue, for instance, flies from Washington 
Dulles and New York Kennedy to John Wayne Orange County.  National 
Airlines, Midwest Express and AmericaWest are other options.  They 
can fill the Southwest holes.
