Reports of tickets being purchased have started to filter in, so going ahead and getting this set up. Post here with your arrival and departure times and dates; also, if you're going to front the cost for a hotel room or car rental, let's use this topic to organize who's rooming together and driving once they're here.

Haven't purchased my ticket yet - need to get that sorted out with my resident first.
Will rent a car. I think a nice corvette sounds wonderful.

What are the optimal airports to fly in?
If you're arriving on the 23rd, AUS is pretty much the only place to go - I don't think we're going to be able to arrange a road trip to pick people up from places further out. If you're coming in early and staying slightly late, you can look at SAT (about 60-90 minutes' drive one-way), DFW (about 2.5 hours drive one-way), or HOU (about 3-3.5 hours drive one-way). Bear in mind that we're not going to be able to arrange transportation to San Antonio, Dallas, or Houston on days when a lot of people are coming and going out of Austin itself, and your ticket savings would need to be pretty drastic to make this worth it.
Short answer? AUS is the only option.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT:
Ok, Idun and I intend to rent cars. It would PROBABLY be VERY HELPFUL for Hal/Alex/Cpt.K if we could organize some flights of people to arrive with the 2 of us so we can more easily, uh, car-pool >_>
Not sure what the best way would be for this to work - should Idun and I get tickets first, and then others organize around that, or we just try to hit a time when others are coming in?

Car is reserved from 1200 on the 22nd until 1000 on the 26th. It's a Ford Fusion (or similar).
-
If folks have booked or plan to book hotel rooms, might also be good to get those down in here and start arranging who bunks with who.
-
Hal, I'll make another whole topic for it.
There's no group rate, correct?
-
I didn't check on it (someone might want to call and do this), but with as small a number of rooms as I suspect we'll be getting I tend to doubt it. Even with 20 people, if we're packing in 4 people per room that's only 5 rooms total.
-
Tentatively, looks like I'll be coming down there on the 22nd at about 1 PM, and leaving on Monday at about 1:30 PM. Are these acceptable?
-
EDIT: This is for both Ciato and I. Gref, poke one of us on IRC sometime.

Caught the Ciatos and quickly discussed stuffs for travel. Booked my flight out on the same flight as them.
-
Change to my info. Depature is now Delta Air Lines # 1795. All the details of time and such are the same, but the number is different.
-
ANOTHER change to my info. Now arriving with Delta Air Lines # 5182. All times remain unchanged, they just seem to like switching up flight numbers on me.
-
Looks like my departure flight number has changed to 3971 and the depature time to 4:10pm. Also, they officially changed my arrival time to 10:40, not that one minute makes a difference. <_<

Yes, Super, I got the same flight, even though it cost me a little more. I expect you to dance for me on command during the flight as my entertainment!!!111!11!

If you want a cheap piece of meat, Grefter is over in Australia.

Departure: 6/26 4:50 pm American Airlines 440
Also, now that we are lacking a car because I don't want to do a 13 hour solo drive without a lot of meth, I am willing to pitch money on a rental car. I'm under 25 so someone else should rent it.

Also, am renting a car. I am not under 25, and also I can get pretty decent rates. And also I still plan on hitting up San Antonio at least briefly. So yeah.

You guys, my birthday was on SATURDAY. I will take this late gift though.

Jims on DLC6! *Gnaws.*
-
Yep, I booked. I'm flying with Delta Airlines.
Arriving in Austin airport on June 23rd at 11:00 AM on flight DL 5182.
I depart on the 27th at 4:51 PM on flight DL 1795.
-
My departure flight number has apparently been changed again, this time to 4878. It leaves at the same time, though.
-
Meeple, Cmdr.
I think I have your cell numbers (well, Meeple's). Please send them to me so I can contact you upon arrival at the airport. I'll pick you two up and then head to the hotel/Hal-ey-poo's
-
I don't have one, so >.>
-
IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR HAL:
I'm at Guarulhos Airport right now. My flight to Dallas got delayed, it'll leave at 1:15 AM. This changes my ETA to Houston to 1:35 PM. This isn't -that- huge a deal, but I figure it'll save you some parking money and waiting hours. Otherwise, trip is in stark motion.
-
The invasion begins D:
--
Booked a rental car. Full-size, so people should actually be able to fit into it. Fancy!
Not sure how we were handling airport shuttling, and I had really hoped to head down to San Antonio to explore old haunts on Thursday. Can that work, or do we need the car space for getting people over?
-
I think with Hal, Captain K., Alex (I think?), and myself having cars, we should be ok. If it comes down to it, trunks work well for Meeples.
-
Wait, he gets to ride inside the car now?
-
I'll have the van and will be doing the majority of airport shuttling Thursday, yes.
-
My apology, but there is a change in schedule of my returning flight.
Flight #1493 Jun 26
Depart Austin (AUS) at 08:55 PM
Arrive in Los Angeles (LAX) at 11:05 PM
-
My flight had a slight change - I'm arriving in Austin at 1112 now. I updated Hal's post with that information.
Meeple, your cell phone number hath not changed, correct?
Cmdr, since you don't have a cell phone, can you either stay in your terminal or stay around DELTA baggage claim (I'm not checking anything - not sure if you guys are)? Since we're both on Delta, and Meeple's on Continental, the latter might be best - we can just go grab him. Don't know if you guys will want any type of nutrient ingestion by that point, but we can go over that later. We'll then go to AVIS for the car rental, and drive up to the hotel, then to Haly-poo.
-
Meeple, your cell phone number hath not changed, correct?
No it has not. I can swing by Delta Baggage claim once I get off the plane and such too.
-
Staying in baggage claim was certainly my intention.
-
Have not had time to get a map put together for local food/etc, but my address for those driving/anyone else that needs it:
9301 Spectrum Dr. #1634
Austin, TX 78717
PM me if you need my cell phone number.
-
BTW, for us who are getting picked up. Do we just wait at the terminal exit? Or is it better for us to move a certain location?
-
Additionally, anyone's cell phone we should have? Just in case, mine is 323 251 5535.
-
So, Thursday pickups. Van capacity is about 5 passengers+luggage max so that makes things easy.
Trip #1 will pick up Xer, Jim, Zenny, mc, Super at around 12:30~1.
Trip #2 will pick up Niu, Shale, VSM, Ciato, NEB shortly after 5.
And then Dhyer gets grabbed by himself at 7:30ish. (I might be evil and send OK or Hal on that one.) Also, Dhyer, we need to know what airline you're flying so we can stalk you track whether it's late etc.
With these plans only Niu and Shale have really lengthy waits. Sorry about that, it just doesn't make sense to stick a middle trip in given the airport -> hotel/con drive times. The baggage claim here is right next to the terminal exit area, so yeah, people should generally congregate there, meet and talk with the other DLers, etc. It's not a huge area and most of you have met before so it shouldn't be too hard to find the group, hopefully. I'll bring the hat to pickups just in case. I've posted my cell number in the bulletin board forum, which I think everyone in question should have access to? If not, say so and I'll PM it.
-
Meeple's flight was delayed an hour or so - Hal, we'll give you a call once he arrives
-
My flight is Southwest flight 1231
-
We are in the hotel - will call you later when you hopefully get back from the water park
-
There is three of us at the Hal place if you wanted to come around.
-
To Alex: Delta baggage okay to meet at?
-
Sure? The baggage claims are just one area, all next to each other and literally right in front of the passenger pickup doors outside, it's pretty hard to get lost. This is not a gigantic airport with multiple baggage locations or anything like that.
-
super: If you wanted to come with Soppy, OK, Andy and I to San Antonio, we'll need to pick you up from the airport to save time. Are you still interested?
ETA: Alex, I'll update this tomorrow. If I don't hear from super by 11am-ish, I'll assume he's not going with us. Either way, I'll make sure you get updated as soon as I know!
-
OK. Super has my number but he may not be in the group I'm arriving with so here's my number in case I'm not there when I should be. 505 240 5529.
-
And away I go. Hail Hydra!
Number has been PMed to OK.
-
I got fucking screwed and my times are completely different now.
Arrival: 11:50 PM tonight. I don't even know what my departing flight will be.
Also I will never ever ever ever fly Delta ever again after this bullshit.
-
Delta's website says your original flight is on time and not delayed - keep us updated on how things go

-
So. Kansas City has...nice weather? I'll be coming in to Austin tomorrow morning. Same flight, different day.

Leaving Corpus now, but I have to make several stops. I don't expect to make it to Hal's before 8:00 pm.
