2002 Annual Meeting
Academy of International Business


Caribe Hilton - San Juan, Puerto Rico
June 28-July 1, 2002

Travel Information

The Academy of International Business has obtained, through special arrangements with Contacts Unlimited, preferential airfares on various Airlines for our conference in San Juan. Before making reservations or purchasing more expensive, more restrictive or non-refundable tickets thorugh other sources, we suggest you log on ot the web site provided. We are confident that you will find these special fares to be lower than published fares. In those few cases where published promotional fares are lower than the preferential fares provided, the lower published fares will be offered.

Since the number of seats which are available at the levels negotiated are capacity controlled, we suggest that you make the reservations as early as possible. As usual those who make their reservations earliest will obtain the best fares. Ticketing may be delayed to within three weeks prior to departure; however, ticketing within three weeks prior may result in additional charges for express mailing and last minute handling. No reservations will be accepted within 10 days prior to departure, except for published fares.

Here are some examples of fares for June 28- July 02, 2002 to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) that are currently available on American Airlines and Continental. The rates for June with US Air will be posted soon. (The fare you receive may differ slightly as they are changing daily.)
