The HabForum

If you're going to Special Session Week 36 (May 29-June 5, 2004), stick a note on here.

I'll be there. Pilot Benji. I've still never been CDR, but no matter. I like flipping all those switches! Who says we're not trained monkeys up there? Ok, so Tony says that, but does he really count?

ME! I have my flight now too! I get there on the 28th at 3pm!

Also want to note that Hillary will be there as well, I believe as an MS. She is a Hab1 member, but she's kinda busy to check it very often.

Yeah, I'm coming as a MS, and I'm hoping to get back into regluarly posting on this board so that you all will actually look forward to meeting me, as I am looking forward to meeting some fellow hab1 folks. Also, I'm really looking forward to hopefully having an orbiter position, so can ppl please tell which section they're planning to go in?

Well... we've only got one month and 4 days to go... I'm getting excited already! Do we want to plan something special to identify ourselves as Hab1 people?

Also, are any of you doing late departure? Because of the whole can't fly until 4 thing the next day (even though I don't know if I'll be SCUBAing for the mission), my flight doesn't leave until like 6, so I'll be there a little extra longer.

I leave at 6pm on Sunday. I couldn't get a flight at an earlier time so I'll be there.

Hmm... what airport are you flying to? That departure time is suspiciously close tom ine...

Houston and then Edmonton. On Continental.

Oh, OK then, nevermind. Not taking the official airline of Space Camp?

Speaking of which... can I get a discount on my Delta flight because I'm going to Space Camp?

You can, but it might not be cheaper than booking a flight on Delta (or some other airline) on your own without the discount...

...Delta takes a certain percentage of the full fare for camp or something, so it's rarely cheaper than buying a discounted ticket.

i just purchased my tickets from delta today. we called them cause their page was having some problems. they wouldn't give us the entire 15% discount cause apparently its on a level system or something. so unless you pay about 500 dollars for a ticket, you don't receive the entire discount. so its not really worth it.

Oh, OK. Well, we're definitely only paying like $180 roundtrip or something like that.

180?? wow. mine were like 3something.

Mine was like $185

Only two airlines that fly to Edmonton fly into Huntsville so unless I want to drive 3 hours down to Calgary my choice is limited.

Wow, whenever I have left from Edmonton to Huntsville, a round trip cost about 900$ CAD! Even checking the rates today, they look about the same. If airfare were only 180$, like Benji, I would have definitely attended ASA a few more times and I would have gone back as an adult already!

After-thought: Sometimes the WestJet flight to Calgary and back with a round-trip flight from Calgary to Huntsville is cheaper than round-trip from Edmonton to Huntsville. Crazy, I know...

are you serious?!? mine was 372. maybe its cause i have to go cross country. though my ticket to my dad's is like 240 to houston. benj, how many planes do you take?

Two. One from TPA to ATL and then another to HSV. Round trip tickets are actually cheaper than one-way.

For this trip I'm paying $835 Canadian.

i go from msp to atl and then to hsv. so its about the same. jeoz, you wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference. and, i meant do you have a layover. i was pretty sure you're going round trip. unless you decide to live in the bushes in shuttle park. lol, that wouldn't be cool when it rains. other than that, free 24 hour access to sprocket!!!
