Getting to Washington for trial

[michele u]

I know alot of you have gotten the vaccine trial at Wash. How did everyone get there? What flights are cheapist? I have a list of org. that might get me there for free, but i have to have a back up plan.

What are the closest airports to you? Any way to go by train?

I have a great travel agent if you need one, let me know (you pay a tiny fee for them to take all the responsibility to get you there hassle-free vs Expedia, Travelocity, which take no responsibility. You may need a changeable ticket. More details on your needs, please.

Best of luck,
Lani

God willing, I am going to the UofW trial also. I just had a MUGA and pray that my heart is OKAY!

Now....do you know anyone who has "frequent flyer miles"? They may be willing to part with a few miles for you. Also, there are private pilots who transport cancer patients to treatment. "Sky Angels" come to mind.

Michelle, we drive from our home in Oregon, so I can't help you with flight info, but check around for a hotel/motel that has a discount (10%) for patients of UW, and also a shuttle bus service to UW. That will save money and time! Glad you're in the trial, that's great news!

Michelle I recently utilized Flight Angels to go to MDAnderson for my follow up. These folks are terrific. The flight was FREE and they were as kind and accomodating as could be. I found the trip in a small 4 seater aircraft to be a whoot!
Hope its OK to post their URL????
