Travel

Attendees seeking reimbursement must follow SFC travel policy. Most importantly, take a screen shot of your airfare search. Your ticket must be within $100 of the lowest fare. Keep receipts for transport and lodging. Meal cost and misc. expenses are handled by a per diem and don't require receipts.

Transport

Google Flights search is probably your best bet. kayak.com and mobissimo.com can also be useful.

There is a small airport in Leeds (Leeds-Bradford). http://www.justtheflight.co.uk/cheap-flights-from-LBA/

Manchester airport is 1.5 hours away (~$30, 50 min; ~$10 if booked several weeks in advance [1])

Trains between London (Kings Cross) and Leeds take a bit more than 2 hours. Book your ticket one month ahead to save 70%!

Trains between Paris and Leeds: $70 one way, 5 hours, booked far in advance.

Devenshire Hall is about 25 minutes by bus #1 (every 10 minutes) or a 40 minute walk from Leeds Train station.

Hotel

Check AirBnB. Often 1/3 the cost of a hotel room.
