<p>I was making reservations for a trip in August and decided to see what the fares would be for Family Weekend in October (19-21) and was shocked that some airlines were already sold out. So, make your reservations early!</p>
<p>Flying into Albany is an option</p>
<p>If you're combinging Family Weekend with doing something else, so is NYC or Boston. We're thinking of spending 2-3 days in NYC either before or after but that depends on some work-related stuff and won't resolve for another couple of months at least. Karma. (Sez someone who read SHOGUN as an airplane book to/from Europe.)</p>
