I thought we were going by the 'host pays' system and sami would cover all travel and beer costs ;)

If not, then the FedEx option sounds ok lol

I am assuming a winter 2012 visit... for the new and improved Snowman Slide.

it will actually be a meeting solely to bash Soviet planes.

So, December 17, 2011 .... CLE to HEL

AWS airlines could teach a thing or two the real world airlines. In MT3, you can fly non-stop from ATL to HEL.

BTW, from NYC to HEL, it's $620 with 1 stop, $995 non-stop:

Plus, we could do it with a 707 and still turn a profit! Take that real life :P
