Nice!!! I'm in for JFK!

[PhilDernerJr]

Great. I really want to emphasize that these tours WILL sellout FAST. I'd hate for anyone to miss out.

[NLovis]

Woo i'm in. Although I can get JFK anytime :mrgreen: Be nice to see EWR and return to where it all started for me. LGA.

Stupid question, but it says:

Convention Tours are limited to fully registered convention delegates in addition to tour size. Times of tours are based on start from and return to Robert Treat Hotel Lobby. (A Security Clearance may apply.)

Does this mean we need to register and pay for each day of the convention too? Or are we okay with just the tour tickets?

[wunaladreamin]

I had the same question myself and emailed them last night. The answer was in order to be eligible for the tours, purchasing the "full registration" was a prerequisite.

Not a stupid question at all Cary. The tours are only for registered convention attendees so yes anyone wanting to do even one tour needs to also register for the convention, I believe that part is $50. However that will among other things give you access to the "HUGE" trading floor of the memoriblia show.

Also keep in mind that these tours all leave from the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, based on every ramp tour I have ever taken at these conventions you will board a bus at the hotel, and once arriving at say JFK the same bus will be doing the ramp tour with Port vehicle escorts and likely a Port person on the bus. So lets say you live accross the street from JFK and you want to do only that tour you would still have to get to the hotel in Newark to get on the field at JFK.

I hope this helps?

Ahh, thanks for the help guys. I've signed up for EWR and JFK (pending my "full registration"), so hope to see some of you there!

[PhilDernerJr]

I would also like to mention that registration will get you a very cool goodie bag, full of all sorts of fun stuff. I'm familiar with the contents but am not allowed to say!

The registration and everything seems like a lot, I know. Whenever I myself organize events, I like to do what I can to keep costs low so it doesn't prevent some people from enjoying it. HOWEVER, I want you all to know that the Airliners International Shows are like the World Series of the hobby...and the NY show will be one of the best yet I think! SOOO many people, photo contests, model contests, the many tours and more. I really do recommend you come out.

Having this locally is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I hope everyone can take advantage.

I'll be making another, more detailed posts about it all this week.

It's at the Robert Treat Hotel close to EWR.

im in for all 3 airports, I gotta hurry with cash!!

I wonder why there is no option to buy more then 1 ticket. I am def. purchasing one for myself but my friend wants to go too. I wonder if this will form a conflict when I purchase to tickets since it's from my paypal account which means my name will appear twice.
