[2019 ARML] - Reminder: Flying to ARML

Dear all,

I'm writing to remind you about the option of flying to ARML, and that the deadline to book those flights is tomorrow night.  I've copied the relevant information from Tim's original email below, particularly for anyone who wasn't on the email list at the time.

Note in particular that the refund (a) only applies to students who take approved flights both ways, and take a Friday morning flight down, and (b) requires that you purchase tickets and forward the airline's confirmation email to arml@mathleague.org by midnight on April 30th, unless you hear from Tim that the deadline is extended.

If you are going to fly to ARML, please do yourself and us a favor and make your plans now.  Every year, a handful of students change their plans at the last minute, which results in needless waste of money on housing and travel arrangements.  We'd much rather save those costs and pass it on to you via the flight rebate.

--Silas

(3) Fly to ARML on approved flights

Students flying to ARML without their parents must travel on one of our approved flights, each of which will have one of our coaches as a chaperone. Chaperones will be in touch with students and their families the week of ARML to coordinate meeting at the airport. Here are the flight options:

SACRAMENTO

Southwest 591, May 31

SMF-LAS, 6:00-7:15am

Southwest 5047, June 1

LAS-SMF, 7:40-9:10pm

OAKLAND

Southwest 1456, May 31

OAK-LAS, 5:30-7:00am

Southwest 5136, June 1

LAS-OAK, 8:00-9:30pm

SJC-LAS, 10:00-11:15pm 
Southwest 6874, June 1
LAS-SJC, 8:00-9:25pm

For any student who purchases one of the May 31 flights and one of the June 1 flights and sends us confirmation at arml@mathleague.org by midnight on April 30, we will rebate $100 of the ARML fee you have paid. Please note that the Thursday night flight out of San Jose is currently NOT eligible for the $100 rebate as we are strongly encouraging students to fly in on Friday if they are not taking the bus. Fares are likely to go up as people start buying tickets, so purchase them early if you're planning to fly. Also note that this $100 refund will not necessarily apply to other flights we open up or to purchases made after April 30; if we approve new flights or extend the deadline for claiming refunds I will post details, but DO NOT ask about other Bay Area flights for now.
