BOOK YOUR AIRFARE
When to Book Your Flight
Arrive early: We recommend arriving on Saturday or Sunday to give yourself time to settle in, adjust to the time zone, and explore the area before the conference starts on Monday.
Book in advance: Domestic airfare tends to be more affordable when booked 1-3 months ahead. Keep an eye out for deals starting in late summer or early fall.
