Re: [Philmont]: Airport to Philmont

To answer your question, one would have to know the size
of your group, because that makes a huge differece.

 From this list I found Durham bus company which seems to
offer me a good deal for ground transport. (They operate
out of Colorado Springs) And having someone on the group
say "it worked" is VERY helpful!

I would advise doing all this pretty quickly. In the last
week, the airfare from Chicago went from $190 to $250. (My
dates, etc.) I also learned that the price on the web is
hard to get for lots of people. You end up buying 3 or 4
seats at the low price and then more seats on the same
plane cost more. If you deal with the group phone number,
they give you a price higher than the web but it averages
out.

For us, going into Denver saved us over $150 a person over
going into Albeqourque (Denver is also easier to spell on
the flyers :-)). I was advised that flying into a big
airport is more hassle, but I have to fly out of O'Hare;
not too many larger than that!
