Posters Game - Tailgate Party Details

[Bretsky]

As far as shirts, we could wear a shirt representing our state or our philosophy.

I could wear an Oregon shirt and cap.

MJZiggy could wear a Maryland shirt.

PIP could wear a Conneticut shirt.

Bretsky could wear an "I hate Ted Thompson!" shirt...

I could come with a Big Yellow Shirt with a circle around this big turtle and a line going throgh it

The No Turtles Shirt

[GBRulz]

Then I guess I'll wear a GB shirt

Mad, it's weird prices from San Fran to GB are much pricier than San Diego to GB...like $150 . I'm not sure how far you are from SD though but it's 306 round trip to GB.

In some cases Milwaukee is cheaper, but usually not enough to make it worth the 2 hour drive.

[MJZiggy]

San Diego is a helluva long way from SF, unless he took the train...(I can see this one turning into a comedy movie in a hurry)

If MTP wants to fly into Milw I can pick him up.

That chorizo and I would have plenty to talk about. It'd be a great time!

I checked Midwest's website, and it varies quite a bit depending upon the dates of departure and return. Best deals are Thursday-Tuesday.

$254 to fly from San Fran to Green Bay on Thursday 10/4 and back on Tuesday, 10/9.

Leave Friday instead of Thursday, (still returning on Tuesday) and the price jumps to $377.

Leave on Thursday and return on Monday: $516.

Leave on Friday and return Monday: $639.

All of the SF-GB flights have a connection in Milwaukee.

If you fly San Fran to Milwaukee and catch a ride from there, it's $280.00 no matter how you schedule it, and there are nonstop flights available.

These are just the prices for Midwest, so you'll probably be able to beat them with someone else.

Midwest is well-known for having great customer service, though, so that might be a factor to consider---especially since you're a first-time flyer. Flying Midwest exclusively, I've never had a bad flying experience like you hear about so often from people. Food for thought.

[MJZiggy]

I love Midwest!!! Right down to the cookies. And forget Southwest (when did they stop flying into Wis.?)

I am concerned that lil Dalmer Jr here refers to me as food.

As long as the damn plane takes off and lands without falling apart I am fine with any accommodation. Trust me it cant be any worse the a bus rides out of Mexico.

So all SF to MILW are $280 ROUND trip? I might consider doing that cuz its half price. I prefer to do the flying Friday night, sleep on the plane, get to GB Sat morning, hang out do whatever stay Sunday night and come back early Monday.

This is what I was looking at:
American Airlines operated by AMERICAN EAGLE
11:55pm San Francisco, CA (SFO)
9:00am - Sat, Oct 6 Next day arrival
Green Bay, WI (GRB)
7hrs 5min - 1 Stop
Change planes in Chicago, IL (ORD)
$494
per person

Good Lord how long is that layover??? JMO, I'd take the Midwest. Not only cheaper, but would be a much nicer ride.

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah I just noticed the time. I think I better check out Midwest.

It's only an hour and a half layover, considering he will board his GB flight around 7:30-7:45 and when flying into O'Hare, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It certainly lives up to it's rep as the highest percentage of flight delays and late arrivals vs any other airport.
