Cab fare, airport parking, snacks, meals, souvenirs, drinks, sun tan lotion (Jordan Lynch uses it, you have to use it also), rental car, gas, game parking, did I forget anything? = $1900
Real total cost = $3550

spirit's website does not even show them flying out of midway.

Spirit puts down wherever their tank of gas runs out. Then takes off again after putting $5 in the tank.

The cheapest I am getting Spirit for is $520 out of ORD.

I saw a flight out of MKE this morning for $404. Don't know if it's still there.

It's a little cheaper to get to Boise if you guys want to switch bowls.

how many people per charter?

The first has 137.
"Zippy's Charter Service" - Where our pilots have at least 30 days experience.

I find this somewhat strange. These charter packages with air run at least (depending upon occupancy) $1,700 to $2,000 per person. That means $3,400 to $4,000 for 2 people, not including game tickets and incidentals. And these packages are all selling out - and very quickly (the first charter package sold out in less than a day)?? I am now convinced that more people than I thougt are filthy rich, and the economy is fabulous. Everything you read in the paper is a lie!!

If that's it, then I'm sure that plane will be filled with NIU administrators, big donors, and families. That is a small plane. And that's why they need more planes. I would not be surprised if the NIU contingent takes up much of the second plane, too. I suppose the team will be flying separately.

137 is the size of a 737.

That is what Southwest Airlines flies.

How much are train tickets?

Alumni busses still the most cost effective option for many fans.

When is the Huskie Mobile departing?

You might be able to stop in Atlanta and check out the Chik-fil-A bowl on the way.

Currently all the packages are sold out. I'm sure more are on the way.

Possibly but the guy talked to didn't seem to think they were adding any more. Still lots of time so they might change their mind if there's still interest.
