Below are the flight schedules I am thinking about for a trip to the York train show in April. SW is more expensive but direct flights. American flights are pretty compatible with the SW so probably either could be used depending on personal preference or availability of award tickets. Times At BWI are close enough to be the same departure and arrival times from there. There are earlier SW flights that have a stop that would also work with an earlier American flight if the arrival home is too late. The participants can sort this out.

Harrisburg flights are $320 and up.

I wanted to give you an idea of the cost of the trip. American charges for baggage now so if you need a suit case to bring home all of the goodies, that will cost extra. No charge on SW. I plan to use a SW award ticket.

It looks like York reasonable hotels are running about $135 plus taxes so $150 a night. Harrisburg, 10 to 15 miles away might be $25 cheaper. WE could look at lower class hotels if we need to save some cost. Also could share rooms with 2 double beds to cut hotels in half for those that wanted to.

BWI is about 1.5 hours from York, not a bad drive. Would be late upon arrival with flights I chose but would not feel as late to us because of time zone change.

Car rental for 4 looks like about $300 total. A mini van is $430 so if we had 5 to 7 this would be good.

So total using SW would be $730 with shared room $1000 without.

Let me know who is still interested.
