We have made flight reservations for Atlanta on Delta Airlines. We are trying to minimize the amount of school each girl has to miss.
As long as we have at least 10 in each group, we can have a choice between flying there on Wednesday afternoon, or taking the red eye Wednesday night. I need to turn in a flight list with names and which flight you want. Please give me the following information by Friday night, February 15:
_____ I want to fly on Wednesday afternoon, be at San Francisco Airport by noon .
_____ I want the red eye Wednesday night, be at San Francisco Airport by 8:30 PM .
_____ I can take either flight to help fill quota of 10 and earn Diane's gratitude.
We will all fly home together, leaving Atlanta at 10:50 AM and arriving at SFO at 1:03 PM on Sunday. All flights booked are non-stop! We will take MARTA to and from the airport.
The marketing committee is trying to get adequate sponsorship to cover the costs of the trip for our entire team. If they succeed, you will only have to pay the $100 dues to the troop, plus pay for breakfast (last year the girls brought food for breakfast), lunches, and incidentals. We are spending about $700 per girl for the flights, hotel, dinners, and their share of the leaders’ costs. You will be liable for any portion of that $700 not raised by the marketing committee. As always in Girl Scouts, no girl will be turned away for lack of funds; if this is a bad year for your family, please let me know how much you can pay and you will be marked down as “paid in full”.
If you sign up and then decide not to go, you will be expected to reimburse the team for the flight and your portion of the leaders’ costs and you will have a ticket on Delta to use up. If you find someone else to take your place, you would only have to pay the airline’s $75 fee to change the name on the ticket.
Parents are welcome to fly with us as long as you tell me which flight by this Friday. Your ticket will cost $355. We have 2 adults on the afternoon flight and one on the red eye, so we need another adult to help the group navigate Atlanta after the red eye. Adults should make their own hotel reservation. The team is staying at the Omni Hotel right next to the Georgia Dome (where the competition takes place).
Please give me your flight preference as soon as possible.
Diane
