When will tickets be released? What's the best way to get them?
Also remember this gem:
Also remember this gem:
I flew out of Mason city once, I watched traffic on the interstate as the plane felt like it was bobbing up and down. I now just drive to MSP or DSM. Also had a flight to Phx that was cheaper to fly dsm to MSP to PHX then just MSP to Phx. Asked if I could just drive to MSP and skip the connector, nope they said.
"Hello, I'm you Captain Leath, thank you for flying Cloneair....."
It wasn't that bad. I was just a matter of writing 1-2 pages a day for roughly four months.
For comparison, here are the word counts of some books most high schoolers will read --
To Kill a Mockingbird = 100,388
The Old Man and the Sea = 27,000
Walden = 114,634
Uncle Tom's Cabin = 166,622
The Hobbit = 95,356
Nineteen Eighty-Four = 88,942
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets = 85,141
Animal Farm = 29,966
The Hunger Games = 99,750
The Lord of the Rings = 576,459
Twilight = 119,000
Fifty Shades of Grey = 155,749
Those are all relatively slim novels (with some exceptions). My thesis was about 2/3rds of one of them.
Some of them are somewhat less appropriate for teenagers but, eh, time to be young adults.
Haven't been able to find any info on that, but considering this is how full the stadium typically was at Sam Boyd Stadium before they moved to Allegiant, I doubt we'll have any issues getting tickets.
Also a note: UNLV only seats people in the lower level at Allegiant, but still shouldn't be an issue.

My tips for visiting Chicago for the NCAA Sweet 16 was only 7736 words and I thought that was pretty exhaustive. Can't wait to see what the heck @ISUCyclones2015 writing about.
Just taking a swimsuit with? Sun country hits you with the carryons and luggage.

I bought a overhead carry-on. 30 bucks. For only two days, I probably could have gotten by with just my stuff in a small bag under the seat, but I figured it wasn't too much
Is that for both ways? Never knew how they charged. Saw frontier and alligent is the same way. Not bad if it covers round trip but a little speedy if each way.

I believe it was for the whole trip. It's worth it for a direct flight. And the overall cost with a carry-on and upgraded seat was still under 300. Allegiant is much higher than that out of Des Moines or Cedar rapids. And even if they come down, I doubt it will be a lot lower than 300. There's going to be demand for those flights in central iowa, and there aren't very many of them
Just throwing it out there. I couldn't handle that long in Vegas anyway.

Nope. Me either. 3 days is about the max. At a previous job, we had two trade shows scheduled in Vegas, pretty much back to back. We ended up spending 14 out of 45 days in Vegas, during that time, and I was done after about day 5. I have a hard time with willpower in a place like las Vegas. Just because I CAN have a drink in my hand pretty much everywhere, doesn't mean that I should.
