    City of Memphis

     

    Airports

    Note: Airfares are on the rise all over the country....consider flying into Little Rock or Nashville and renting a vehicle for your group and the total costs just may be significantly cheaper than flying directly into Memphis and paying the airport-to-hotel shuttle fee for your group!

    Don't forget to use the NWA meeting discount code for $$$ savings!

     

    • Memphis is served by the Memphis International Airport (MEM) where Northwest Airlines (NWA) is a major carrier.  Of course American, United, Delta and many other airlines service the Memphis airport as well.
    • MEM: Memphis International Airport (approximately 20 minute drive)

    • NOTE: Both the Little Rock (LIT) and Nashville (BNA) airports are about a 2-3 hour drive away and Southwest Airlines flies into both of those airports for, perhaps, a cheaper airfare and no airport-to-hotel transfer fee!

     

    • Northwest Airlines is the "Official Airline" of the 2008 AITP National Collegiate Conference and their website is www.nwa.com
    • Click "NWA Discount Travel E-Cert Redemption" at the bottom of the Flights tab on the Left hand side
    • Enter your flight details as normal then, near the bottom where it asks "Do you have an E-Cert Fare, electronic voucher or meeting agreement?", select it and PICK  "Meeting Agreement" then enter the code NYVDR
    • The rest of the ticketing process will occur and you will realize up to 5-12% savings depending on the flights selected!!!!!
    • Note: When I (Kevin Jetton) booked my ticket using the code/procedure above - I saved just over $30 (1/27/2008).
