Becker) Newsgroups: net.usenix Subject: Special flight arrangements to Dallas Message-ID: <609@ccice5.UUCP> Date: Fri, 7-Dec-84 15:44:23 EST Article-I.D.: ccice5.609 Posted: Fri Dec 7 15:44:23 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 9-Dec-84 03:14:21 EST Distribution: net Organization: CCI Central Engineering, Rochester, NY Lines: 15 The Dallas info/registration packet I got talks about "special air fares" through American Airlines. When we called American about this, they said the special rates were only from selected cities. We would have to pay regular fair to get to the nearest selected city. For me to travel from Rochester to New York and then from New York to Dallas costs more than traveling with another airline from Rochester to Dallas. Has anyone else had this problem? (The closest selected cities to Rochester were New York, Detroit, and Chicago). Are we getting hoodwinked by AA or our travel agent? The usenix brochure doesn't mention the requirement to fly from selected cities. Tim Becker ..!{seismo,decvax,allegra}!rochester!ccice5!tim
