OMG I can get a good price to Dallas.

Careful. Those look like "Basic Econmy" fares. Not checked bag. no selecting a seat, potentially no carry on, and only a personal item.

Currently

$281 for Basic Economy from ORD to DFW (United/American)
$282 from MDW to DAL (Southwest)

even so - that means real price will be 280... way better than the normal $400 I see for most places I want to go.

For me, this comes down to how much does non-Basic Econmy cost me for O`Hare versus traveling to Midway (~$60 each way on Uber).

Looks like it's going to be ~400$/person for us.

I don't know if I'll be able to attend this year, office moves and a new kid at home.

Oh Geez/ My flight was way less expensive than that going to Dallas.

No excuses for you then, we expect to see you at MangoCon.

AirBnB looks to have lots of reasonable places around. Going to wait for the location first tho.

Carrollton/Addison area. Most likely Addison near "the circle". It's all pretty close.

[Kyle]

Short drive for me.

[scottalanmiller]

We are heating up for some good attendance

[AdamF]

I have friends near Dallas. I could save some $ on hotel if they are close enough. I assume venue and address will be announced later this week as well?

[NetworkNerd]

I'm excited this one is coming to Dallas. I'd be happy to give a talk if there are slots available.

Probably next week. But it's basically guaranteed to be in either Carrollton or Addison, which border each other. Do you what area your friends are in?
