Request to ALL Convention Promoters/Groups
Guys, for the love of God or whomever you worship, Please put up the schedules at least 8 weeks in advance for international travelers. I cannot tell you how many times I have booked a flight to save a few hundred dollars early only to find out I have to spend a few hundred more that I don't need to because the dates of the conventions are misleading. Misleading = date range that includes a day on EITHER side that there is no actual show floor. Those of us getting reimbursed for shows are usually covered for the actual show floor days. So, if you say it ends on X date and that day is full, I can stay that full day and night and leave in the morning. If you say it starts on X date I don't want to find out after I've booked the flight that it only includes, for example, golf and a party.
I get in early or stay late and pay for it sometimes because I chose to for sure. I would appreciate it if budgeting the extra expenses is my own choice, not a necessity because the schedules are not posted early enough.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Anyone else have this dilemma or am I the only one that tries to book flights in a timely manner to save the company cash?
p.s. this is not directed at any one convention group, it's happened at some point over the years with all of them.
p.p.s. yes, i am hormonal right now....i'm a woman, i can't help it. where's the chocolate?
