Washington, here I come...

[lance_sibley]

I finally got around to booking my flight to Washington for Gaylaxicon in a little over a week. (I know, I know...) My Mastercard may have just burst into flames despite having made more than the minimum payments for the last who-knows-how-many months... sometimes significantly more, and yet the balance never seems to go down. :( Maybe I've gone to too many cons this year...

Funny, despite using farecast.com to look up the rates for multiple airlines, it seems that Air Canada always has the best combination of price and flight times. I don't mind paying a bit more if it means I don't have to pull an all-nighter to get to the airport for oh-my-god in the morning - I could have saved about $100 if I'd been willing to do that, but no thanks - I need my sleep.

I booked my hotel a week or two ago, so I have no worries there.

I just wish I had the money/vacation time to spend a few days there on either side of the con. As it is, I'm arriving Friday afternoon and leaving Monday evening (it's a four-day con), so I won't have the time to do the touristy stuff I would have liked to.

I always fly Air Canada. ;P

I've flown Delta¹ a few times to go to Atlanta, and sometimes I've been on flights that were actually operated by other airlines (like El Al :( ) despite booking through Air Canada. But I usually find Air Canada to be the best choice. That being said, I really, really liked flying WestJet to Winnipeg.

¹ - or, as evil_admiral likes to refer to it, "Doesn't Ever Leave The Airport".

Ayup! :)

BTW, what sort of weather should I be packing for? The temperature's been in the single digits (or barely into double digits) here all week, but I don't want to pack sweaters if it's something like 25 there.
