New Dir Academy Flight Question

[flemings99]

Looking for advice from someone who has attended NDA. I'm looking at flights for the May mtg. I know we are to arrive by noon and leave no earlier than 5 the last day. My ? is, I can save $60 if I take a very early flight arriving at 8:00 I guess I want to know what I'll do with all that time? or should I spend the extra to arrive at a later time.

I know we get the 250 travel allowance, which I did earn but with the later flight will be over that amount. With Toronto & Conference all close together was hopeful to stay within the travel allowance.

Thoughts/experience greatly appreciated!

I'd go for the early flight... just me though. take a good book, enjoy the town a little.

Yeah, definitely the earlier flight - that way if something gets delayed your safe too. Maybe take a quick nap at the hotel? I know with night flights that can be helpful - especially if you've got little ones at home and never get good sleep anyways

Barb, you got me all excited now to go to NDA I'm looking at taking the bus- arriving at 6:30 and leaving saturday at 11:30pm for $20.50. I can afford to go then

Hello there! I am a fellow Pampered Chef consultant and I have attended NDA in the past. My advice would be to go for the later flight, even if it means going over the travel allowance. Trust me, the extra time will be worth it. You can use that time to get settled in your hotel room, relax, and maybe even explore the area a bit. Plus, you never know if there may be any unexpected delays or issues with your flight, so having a buffer time is always helpful. I hope this helps and have a great time at NDA!
