So even though it starts on Thursday, the first trade show isn't until Friday ?

Looking at the website its going to be $25 to attend all 3 trade sessions ? Sounds kind of steep .......

It's a pretty cool show. Full registration also gets you a goody bag which has a lot of stuff, as well as unlimited entries into the photo contest. You will also get 20% discount at the Intrepid all week with the AI2010 pass.

Folks, I sure to hope to see some of you the next few days in Newark. I have attended all but 1 Airliners International Convention since 1987, and while I have always been surprised since getting to know so many of you the last few years that hardly anyone from this site has not gotten on a plane, or driven to one of the last few years shows. But with this years being literally in our own back yard I really hope this will change the next few days. With no disrespect to the organizers of the one day past Newark shows, or the LGA Courtyard Marriott ones, this is a completely different league of show, with so much of interest to see regardless of your interest, or perhaps favorite present or past airlines. I have made many great friendships with fellow airline enthusist from all over at past shows, and it is very easy to spend at least several hours viewing all the displays, which are much more elaborate than what is seen at the one day shows, plus many more in number. For anyone reading this who is debating to go or not go, I really hope you do. For anyone who decided not to go but still has the opportinuty, I really hope you will reconsider, I really believe most of you will thank me when you see how awesome these shows are. After attenting around 23 or 24 of these conventions I think I am qualifed to say that !Thanks for reading my personal thoughts, sure hope to run into some of you folks Friday or Saturday ! LGA777

Ron, see you there.

Me and my rental are going to make it.

[alberchico]

So just wanted to confirm the cheapest entry they have is $25 for 3 trade sessions ? Or is there some cheaper entry ?

[LGA777]

Techincally there are only 2 trade sessions, Friday and Saturday you can by a 2 day ticket for $15. Hope you can attend.LGA777

I'm looking at the schedule on line, are they really open Friday night until 10pm? If so, I may take a run over after work.

[mirrodie]

I just briefly glanced at the site.

Thanks Ron, I was thinking of popping in on Saturday. I'm playing Mr Dad and have both tails (er, kids, with me.)

So are we looking at potentially 15- 25 per head? Is there a charge for the kids, anyone know??

[LGA777]

Mario,You will only need to pay $10 for you for one session, kids under 12 are free.Moose, they are open till 10, which is a first. It is possible not every vendor will stay that late but it would still be worth coming over.Even better their is a slide show and auction Friday night from 2000-2200 usually in a seperate smaller room. These are usally hosted by Eddy Gual from MIA and are usually G R E A T !!LGA777
