Tobago Express operates 40 flights daily between Trinidad and Tobago (20 each way) at a cost of about $25 each way. Group discounts have been arranged for flights with airlines in the SkyTeam alliance (including Continental and Delta, which fly to POS) and for American Airlines. The American Airlines discount is also valid for other airlines in the oneworld alliance, but at least one leg must be flown with American. To get the SkyTeam discount, visit http://globalmeetings.skyteam.com/ and enter Event ID 0049S. To get the American Airlines discount, mention Discount Code A3927AX when booking your flight. The SkyTeam discount is valid for travel in the period February 7-21, 2007 for 5% off discounted fares and 10% off full fares. The American Airlines discount is valid for travel in the period February 9-19, 2007 for 5% off the lowest applicable published fare (with some fare classes excepted). Local Transportation To get to the Hilton from the airport, simplest is to take a taxi. Please let the FC07 General Chair know when you are scheduled to arrive; if a number of attendees are arriving together on the same flight we will try to meet the group and travel together to the hotel. Visa Information Conference attendees are advised to check with the nearest Trinidad and Tobago Embassy for entry requirements (visa and travel documents). Much information is also available online. Nationals of EU countries, the USA, and Canada generally do not need visas for stays of up to 3 months. -- ----------------- R. A.
