Dan,

I wish you had emailed me about airfare before throwing that outrageous
experience onto the list...I'd hate to have people read that and then 
completely
discount coming! Doesn't help the cause very much...I don't think we want
to scare people off the idea by throwing out such lame price search
experiences, do we?

I recently (only several weeks ago) looked up the price for round trip
from Seattle...only $900 USD. That took me about fifteen minutes of
searching online fight web sites.

There are often special prices with Lufthansa from the New York area
that are under $700 USD.

Flights to & from London are advertised at LM19 (which is about $55 USD,
you have to add air port tax to that but even then it is very reasonable).
At that price if you update your Rev license at the special conference
price the airfare is almost free.

If you need an extra day or two at either end of the conference to get
the best airfare price just get in touch - I can get you a room for under
$25 (clean guest house, no food but inexpensive) if given a few weeks notice.

Ciao,
