Incidental expenses such as travel to your home airport and parking will be reimbursed upon submission of a U of I Travel Voucher Form, which will be available at the worksop. Please keep receipts for any expenses you wish to have reimbursed.
Please send email to Jeff Stuit if you have any questions about travel expenses.
Airlines
The University of Illinois-Willard Airport serves the Champaign-Urbana area. Four airlines link the community to major U.S. cities, via turboprop-driven commuter aircraft:
- American Airlines (service from Chicago via American Eagle)
- Northwest Airlines (service from Detroit and Minneapolis via Northwest Airlink)
- TWA (service from St. Louis via Trans World Express)
- US Airways (service from Pittsburgh and Indianapolis via US Airways Express)
We recommend that you schedule your incoming flight for the afternoon of Sunday, August 15, and your departing flight on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 18. If you can obtain a less expensive flight by arriving on Saturday, August 14, the University will pay for your housing and meal expenses for the extra night. We will organize social activities (golf, swimming, etc.) on Sunday for those arriving on the 14th.
If you would like the University of Illinois to purchase your airline tickets for you, please contact Cindy Schweighart with your flight information. Cindy can be reached by email at crschwei@uillinois.edu or by phone at 217-244-6465.
If you purchase your own airline ticket, it is very important that you keep the receipt portion of the ticket so that we can reimburse you. Reimbursement forms will be distributed at the workshop.
Ground Transportation
Ground transportation will be provided by the University of Illinois to and from Willard Airport, and from hotels to the conference sites.
Hotel Reservations
Blocks of rooms have been reserved at the Illini Union and the Hampton Inn. Please make your hotel reservations on the workshop registration form.
