What is the best airport to fly into?

T. F. Green in Warwick RI is the closest, probably under 40 min to Jamestown/Newport area. Next I guess would be Logan in Boston, but the that'd be about an hour and a half to two hour ride.

[666]

The cheapest fares I've found are landing in Providence. Is this a good place?

I'm coming from Colorado and I usually fly Southwest.

[RICrawler]

Yeah, even though the airport is in Warwick they still say Providence. It's a very easy airport to get in and out of.

[666]

So that is the best airport nationwide?

I see a lot of them in the area.

[RICrawler]

If you are coming to RI then T. F. Green is the way to go, other local airports are pretty small.

Providence / T.F green is definitely the best and easiest way to get to nationals. It's usually pretty affordable too.

Hey fish, what days are you planning on running each class? Some long distance travelers would like to start making travel plans.

I have no plan to change the traditional formats unless the sign ups dictate the changes.

NOTE: We are not behind previous years schedules. The states names are due on JULY 1st, and invites don't go out until the 1st week in July. Usually week give invitees 2 weeks to respond before invites start being dropped. The earliest any Wait List invites will be issued will be the end of July.

Official Hotel - Rodeway Inn

We have 25 rooms blocked off at the Rodeway Inn available for booking at a Group Rate. The group name to mention when booking is USRCCA.

Rates are as follow.

1 Queen Bed - Weekday Price = $39.99, Friday & Saturday night = $130
2 Double Beds - Weekday Price = $49.99, Friday & Saturday = $130

We got some great prices on the weekday so anyone who wants to come in early or stay late in the Newport area can sleep for cheap. It seems like the hotel will be pretty flexible until the end of July if we need to add rooms, after that no promises.

Is it already filled? If not, where do I put the USRCCA code?

I need to check, but I think you have to call the front desk.

Don't think it's filled up Samu, we booked 3 rooms today, you might have to call to get the discount and the money you save you can put towards your phone bill

We are booked at the best western West Greenwich. Wed to Sun is like $435. And it appears to be about a 20 min drive. Can't wait!!

At The Rodeway Inn:

There are 12 rooms with 2 beds remaining and 9 rooms with 1 queen bed remaining. Like BC said, give them a call and they will help you out.

Just as a general note they are holding the rooms until August 4th. After that they will be open to the general public. I would suggest booking your room before this if you can. If not you can see if they still have a room, if they do you WILL still get the discount if you mention USRCCA.
