Southwest Airlines is offering $49 and $79 (each way, RT required)
between many markets and Chicago Midway. These fares are real and
bookable over the Pinkfest dates via www.iflyswa.com.
Checking quickly with one of our TA's and confirming on the web, here are
three near-downtown hotels that are not too far out of line.
The Red Roof Inn is just down the street from where we ate Friday dinner
last year. I know the building, it's an older renovated hotel. It will
certainly be decent, but not opulent. The BW is 1 1/2 blocks from where
we ate lunch Saturday last year. I do not know this building, but a big
plus is free parking.
Quality Inn Downtown Madison, W of Loop $70-ish plus parking
Red Roof Inn Ontario & St Clair $80-ish plus parking
Best Western River North Ohio & LaSalle $120-ish INCLUDING parking
Bunny had mentioned on line a couple nights ago that she paid $80-ish at
Palmer House last year. Sabre (system the TA's use) is showing Palmer
House sold out for the Pinkfest weekend, but Travelocity is showing they
have rooms $200-ish. YMMV, of course.
I'll let the group know of anything else I hear of. If anybody else knows
of any deals, please do likewise.
