[tei-council] Ann Arbor spring meeting

[James Cummings]

I've been looking at booking a flight from LHR to DTW for this 
meeting and the cheapest I could find for Sunday - Wednesday was 
1045 pounds.  However, if I included the Saturday, then the 
cheapest was around 538 pounds. I find the bizarre notion that 
one must include a Saturday (or be penalised by doubling the 
price) a strange one. The only 'overnight' flights I could find 
involved 15 hour layovers.

Gaby, Piotr, Sebastian, Lou:  Does it make sense then for those 
of us crossing the Atlantic to fly into DTW on Saturday? 
Charging the TEI for an extra day of hotel seems offset by the 
difference in flight cost.

Let me know what you think,
