[Dhsbb-jazz] New Orleans Flight Info

[JazzyHorns at aol.com]

Hi Jazz Band Families,
 
As I stated at the recent Band Boosters Meeting we have great news!
 
As I have learned, airlines like to keep you on your toes when planning  
group travel, and suddenly change your flights on you with little regard to 
how  it might affect your group....
 
And as such, I received a call from United informing us that our return  
flight had indeed been changed..........with us returning at midnight on the  
15th (vs. the original 11:20 pm return)
 
But no worries - after a bit of searching we now have new return flights  
for our group which are much better than even our original flights were.
 
Our CURRENT FLIGHTS for the Jazz Band New Orleans Trip  are:
 
Departure (unchanged):
April 10, 2012:  Depart SMF  (sacramento) at 2:50 pm United flight # 448.  
Connects through Denver to  flight # 947, and arrives ultimately MSY (New 
Orleans) at 11:04 p.m. local  time.
 
Return (changed)
April 15th, 2012  Depart MSY 2:55 p.m. United flight #  630.  Connects 
through Denver to flight # 375, ultimately arriving SMF at  8:02 p.m.
 
I know some of you parents have used your miles to arrange your own  
flights which may now be a bit different than what your child is flying, but  
likely all of us will have flight changes before April anyhow, as this seems to  
be the norm with air travel these days unfortunately.  
 
Anyhow, for now at least, these are our times. And getting back 3 hrs  
earlier than planned for the group is a welcome gift with school the next  day.  
 
Katie
 
PS:  Many have been asking about $$ for this trip, and John H. should  be 
getting a note out about that soon.  Suffice it to say that we will be  
paying the remainder of the airline bill in Mid Feb. so most of the costs will  
need to be covered by then.  Overall cost per student for this trip is not  
yet known, but best guess puts it around $1200...?
