Southwest is having sale this weekend. Flights from PDX to Den are $280. I never know when to fly in. Should I fly in the day before or early on the 13th?
 
I prefer to fly in the day before. That way if there are delays I won't miss the event and I won't be exhaused from traveling.
 
I feel the same way! Then you just wake up & you're there :D
 
I have a dilemma--honestly I do not know if i will be a director in September...I know I can go if i am only a team leader but this has been a downer year for me with directorship and I don''t know if i want to spend the money or invest in this if i am only a team leader....sigh....

I have never been there, but I have relatives that live there and sometimes there are altitude adjustments to make as well. So wish I could go:(

I have relatives there too! I plan to either go a few days early or stay a few days after depending on what is best for those relatives. I haven't seen some of the EVER and others only once so it will be a great opportunity for me to get to know them. It's been years since I've been but I don't recall having any issues with altitude - guess I'm lucky!
 
It may have just been my aunt that had issues. She has a few more health issues.
 
Just stay well hydrated and you're fine.
