Charter Flight

From Yosef Club: “A charter flight is currently under consideration and will be based on availability and interest. Should we have enough demand, we would look to move forward early this week. Please let us know”.

Has anyone checked on this? To know which airport the flight would be from and when it would leave and return? There’s a catch 22 as we are under the 14 day window and prices are sky high and steadily climbing. If we expressed interest and then there is no flight I fear the price may end up being too high for commercial flight.

I’m sure it would depend on the number of passengers. I’d suggest emailing your potential interest. I’ll post anything I hear. Not finding any good deals on line so far.

I sent my interest in but I’ll probably end up driving. They ought to get at cost bus charters for the students.

Most likely out of Hickory, Concord a possibility if Hendrick Motorsports has a plane available.
