OK, when do people arrive in Atlanta?

I get in at 4:15pm on thursday.

If everyone can post their arrival times then we can maybe get some cab pooling worked out.

I get in at 7:00 p.m. so no cab pool for me.

Says who? Someone else reading this thread may be arriving at 7:00 - which is why everyone should post their times.

8:10 PM Thursday.

If you can wait around for 4 hours, you can save $10 on cab fare! :P

What a coincidence!

David says he gets in at 16:15, so you might be on the same flight -- he's insisting that he wants to take public transport because it's cheaper, though. o_O

From what I hear, the shuttle to the airport costs $20 per person. A full cab costs less with a full complement of people, or so I've been informed. The con hotel is 20 miles from the airport this year.

Is he flying on a BA flight from gatwick? (BA2227)

(BA2227)

That's him.

He's aiming to take the MARTA/bus thing, which is like $2, but means going into centre of town and then onto the bus. How much is cab fare in Atlanta?

The Interstate Airport Jitney is $15 r/t p/p if you book in advance and mention the con, although god only knows how much it'd cost to call them from here.

Well my ticket says 5:47 as the arrival time, so actually before 6. =P I don't trust the airlines to get me anywhere on time.

Rats.../me continues to look for someone coming in around then.

I think Tim is just trying to make up for the last few cons where he's ended up arriving at midnight or worse.

Next year, I'm hoping to maybe show up Tuesday or Wednesday and hang out at [livejournal.com profile] quu's...I'd like to get involved hands-on with the final DDR compilation for once.

More like "which is the cheapest flight?"
My flight to Atlanta was cheaper than my flight to Baltimore, despite being over twice the distance. It also means I leave a little earlier than I'd like on Sunday. (5PM I think)

About the "midnight or worse" thing... I don't usually take the Thursday off, but I did for AWA since I figured there'd be the dinner and such.

Me and Amy arrive at 3:13 PM but we could hang about for a bit and share a cab to the hotel. I am all about saving moola where it counts ^^

Well, there's 5 of us:

me, you, david, Tim Park and Justin Emerson are all going to be there at 16:15.

I'm making an LJ post with more discussion.

Well, I'll be there at 17:09. But, again, you and David have to do Customs/Immigration and I don't, which is always annoyingly time-consuming, so I don't think the time gap will be as large as all that. Will point David at the discussion, though.
