Re: Any Other Americans Going to the EJC? Flight Advice?

Are there any other Americans here on the boards planning on going to
the EJC? If so, have you booked a flight yet and to what airport? It
seems like Frankfurt is the best bet, but I'm not totally sure. Also,
what website/travel agent do you suggest? Today (February 23) I'm getting
an average Pittsburgh to Frankfurt price of around 1200-1300 US dollars.
Is this good or do you think I can do much better?

This is my first EJC so I'm being a bit of a n00b. Any flight advice
from Americans who have done this trip before would help.

Thanks,

Michael,

My wife and I booked tickets from Portland to Frankfurt for right close to
what you're looking at (ours were $1338). We were pretty picky with our
flight though (non-stop, and in a plane that's configured 2 - 4 - 2 for
seating, so we have both an asile and a window seat :-)

We're also staying an extra week to do some sightseeing.

Just ran some pricing to Lux from PDX and the best price (with two stops)
is $991. Then it jumps to $1450. Also checked on prices again from PDX
to FRA and the non-stop flight is now up to $1486.

As has been mentioned though, prices vary a lot. Hopefully it's something
you can keep an eye on and are able to go.

Good luck!

You might be able to set up "alerts" with various travel sites that can
notify you when a ticket price falls below a certain level. Could come in
handy in this case.

Hope to see you there!
