Transportation to Washington, D.C.

Air Travel
Association Travel Concepts (ATC) is the official travel agency for the annual meeting. As such, ATC has negotiated discounts with United Airlines, USAirways, Amtrak, and Avis to bring attendees special air, rail, and car rental rates that are lower than those available to the public. To take advantage of these rates and benefits, call ATC at 800-458-9383, fax 858-362-3153, or e-mail reservations@atcmeetings.com. ATC is available for reservations from 9:00 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday.

By calling ATC, attendees will save 10 to 15 percent off of the lowest available fare for United (ID number 510CK) and USAirways (ID number GF60172758) tickets purchased more than 60 days prior to the meeting. For tickets purchased less than 60 days prior, the discounts will be 5 to 10 percent off of the lowest available fares. Some restrictions may apply. Service fees vary. Discounts apply for travel Monday, January 5 through Wednesday, January 14, 2004.

ATC will also search for the lowest available fare on any airline serving Reagan National, Dulles International, and Baltimore-Washington International airports. ATC provides personalized service, advance seat assignments, special meal requests, frequent flier programs updates, electronic ticketing, e-mail access for convenient booking of your tickets, and more.

Low fares available only on the Web can be found by ATC staff using the ATC search engine. The staff will explore region-to-region flat zone rates and consolidator and net fares without a Saturday night stayover to reduce the cost of higher-priced tickets.
