How much travel allowance is given for booking own airfare to San Francisco?

[PampMomof3]

Hey guys! Okay, I know I will think of a ton of questions and this is my first trip PC style so my hubby and I were talking of making the San Fran trip a family trip by bringing our 3 children. I know that some of you will be taking the travel allowance but how much do they give you if you book your own airfare? I tried looking on CC but didn't find anything on it.

Any help will be much appreciated! We feel so clueless! All I know is that we get our airfare, hotel and our $250 dining allowance taken care of which is fantastic but if you have more detailed information, please share!!!

Thank you SO MUCH!!!

You get $600 in travel allowance. I would check airfare before you take the travel allowance, especially since your in Florida. Everyone here is taking it, because we get to drive!

Got my San Fran letter yesterday. So psyched!!!

Oh, and about the airfare vs. travel allowance. It's $600 BUT PC also takes care of transporation to/from the airport on the other end plus baggage handling and all that. I'm going with whatever they are giving me! I want to be PAMPERED!!!!

I didn't get my letter yet. Did it come by mail?

Did it come by mail?

Kristi,

Yes, your mail carrier will bring the letter. It will probably arrive tomorrow.

Well now I will stalk my mail carrier!! I can't wait to get it. Is it a congratulation letter or what exactly is it?

 

[chefjeanine]

Yes, it's pretty much just a congratulations letter. Does say that we'll be able to go online on January 29 (?) to sign up for the trip.

Well, I'll still take it!!
