Trouble is that we're flying into a tiny airport (Charleston, SC). At this point, I'm thinking flying into Atlanta and renting a car might be a better option. Tix are between $650-$800 to Charleston and more like high $300s for Atlanta!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

“Not dead yet!”
What about flying into Charlotte? (Not sure how far that is from Charleston)
ETA: According to Google Maps, about an hour's less drive than from Atlanta. And I'll take the Charlotte airport any day over Atlanta.

Thank you, Sumi and Amych. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a proper cutting table complete with scissors groove at home?
Beth, how's the feline? Mine is sending his best purrs to yours right now.

Thanks for the suggestion, Barb. Charlotte was about the same price. Atlanta was cheaper due it being HUGE. We decided since all of the options were expensive, to do it the way we wanted. Departing Burbank (so much easier than LAX) and only 1 plane change. Only cost an extra $100 and worth it. Still, it cost us $2230.47 total!!!! That friggin' hurts!!!!

Eeek, Glam, that's expensive! But yeah, when going to small airports, at holidays, they'll getcha.

We were gonna pick up MiL's ticket, but now we're thinking we may split the cost with her. Is that bad? So she'd pay about $350 for her $700 ticket. We never discussed the ticket thing with her - we were planning to get it as a Christmas gift. I don't know how I feel about it. It's DW's plan.

I think that if you didn't discuss it with her, it's hard to tell her she now owes you money. But your DW must think this is an okay plan and I suspect she knows her own mother.
Meanwhile, the librarian has not yet resigned. I'm still waiting! And scared she'll change her mind.
