A friend of a friend consultant has waited too long to book her flight to go to conference. She is looking for someone to drive with from the Atlanta area. I'm obviously not going, but thought I'd put it out there in case someone here is, or maybe someone in Tennessee.

Please PM me if you can help!

Southwest doesn't fly out of Atlanta. I know, the busiest airport in the country, go figure. Great source of frustration for me. Air Tran did just release another sale so I'm going to advise her to check that out.

Thanks Linda, I'll get you the information tomorrow.
 
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your friend's friend is having trouble booking a flight to conference. I wish I could offer to drive with her from Atlanta, but unfortunately, I won't be attending either. However, I do know some consultants in Tennessee who might be able to help. I'll reach out to them and see if they are interested in carpooling. I hope she is able to find a ride and make it to conference! It's such a valuable experience for us as consultants. Best of luck!
