[tei-council] Oxford Face2Face meeting: Accommodation

[Gabriel BODARD]

No that's right, it's only cheaper if you either stay a Saturday night 
or return on a Saturday night overnight flight (which returning from 
here to the US doesn't make much sense). In my experience, the 
person/body paying the expenses has *always* preferred to pay an extra 
couple nights accommodation that the extra $900 for a more expensive flight.

We can probably stretch to four nights, especially if it results in a cheaper air fare (e.g. for including a Saturday).  That is why I want everyone to fill in the poll, even if it is to indicate the TEI-C isn't paying anything to their accommodation. So put down what you need and we'll see what we can do. ;-)

They all seem expensive--c. $1650. But I did notice that a big discount seems to accrue if one *stays* Saturday night, i.e., flies out on Sunday. That would mean *two* extra nights, which seems a bit much to ask the TEI to fund. The price, however, gave me pause--c. $900. My miserly little soul hates to commit to a $1600 plane fare, but am I right in assuming that I should do that?
