Just trying to find some prices for a week in Chicago with return flights from London. Currently the best I have found is £847 per person. What are the others from the UK finding in terms of prices?

If only this was being held in August, I'm going over to the USA for a month then anyway!

Thanks,

Might have to re-think going if those are the best prices your getting.

Ive been looking into going a-harris found some flights for me for around £200 return, not sure if im going tho im proberly more than likley going to IW2005 tho

[Vortex-Steve]

I've been looking on expedia and £847 was best price for flights plus hotel. Via ba.com just for flights it's £500. Will keep looking, but I'm still expecting it to be fairly expensive, unless maybe there are enough people here who want to go we could do a group thing? Of course I think you need something like 16 people before that's worth doing.

I'll be there... been looking for an excuse to visit Chicago for a long while.

What was the flight company providing the £200 return flights? I can't seem to get anywhere near that figure.

Yes, it does work out at rather a lot! £900 ($1600) for a short trip is pushing it a bit. If I could of combined it with a longer stay then I would of gone for it, unfortunately I already have plans for a month long stay in the USA for August so can't really do this as well.

ive just been quoted £426.20 (return flight) from manchester to Chircargo.

I found this on expedia (it doesnt include an hotel tho)

slice16:

You'll probably want to stay at the conference hotel anyway. We have a group rate of $131 a night. Hotel reservations are available at:

We'll be starting conference registrations in the next couple of weeks. We'll notify our pre-registered people first, then make registrations available to the general hosting industry a few days later.

No. But you can check in February and see if there are registrations still available and if there are rooms still available. You never know, there may be a few. I wouldn't count on it, but maybe!

[Jamesc]

So who wants to put me in there suitcase as that seems like the only way im going to get there at the moment?!
