I started to search also for some flights from Latin America and I found a price (yes again, roughly search) for around $1950, which is just too much to SJJ, via United on MEX-IAD-VIE-SJJ, compared to around $1100 for MEX-EWR-EDI in Continental. Any of those represent a problem also for people not holding an American visa and having to fly directly to Europe which would make the prices even higher. So in most of the ways, it's a difficult thing for us to travel to DebConf. Is there any kind of suggestion for people down here by the bid teams? -- David Moreno Garza <damog@damog.net> | http://www.damog.net/ <damog@debian.org> | GPG: C671257D Voy camino al infierno y no lo puedo parar.
