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.

Venue

TENTATIVE

The hackfest will take place in Devenshire Hall at the University of Leeds. (Cumberland Road, Leeds, LS6 2EQ)

A map of the U. of Leeds campus can be found at http://www.meetinleeds.co.uk/map-of-venues

Reimbursements

After the event, forward your receipts (scans/pdf files/etc.) to me (Tavmjong). I'll collect them and forward them to the SFC. You need to also send payment information (name, currency, paypal account or bank information: see travel policy for more details).
