[LAFF] Looking to get to Anthrocon cheaply?

[Stormdog]

I hope they will.  They've only been in the state since '06, but they've 
been running in the UK since '03 (this knowledge gleaned by a quick 
perusal of Wikipedia) and I suspect that with rates that low, they have 
enough people riding to cover their bills.

I certainly hope their success overseas translates to success here; it's 
a marvelous service!
