Default Monte Carlo Flight Info

I am so pissed right now. I'm booking my Monte Carlo flight from either Philly or Newark and it is costing me $2500/person round trip. Is this for real? Stars gave me $1500 for travel for two. Also, I can deal with 2 stops and 13 hours of travel one way... But... A HELICOPTER RIDE FOR 6 MINUTES?!?!?! ARE YOU [censored] KIDDING ME?!?!?! They are probably charging me a [censored] for that when I can probably walk there faster. Any remedies cause I'm on tilt?

www.kayak.com has my flight at about $700

It's the helicopter ride that gets you.

Is the chopper ride necessary? I mean seriously... can't I take a cab or something?

Cabs are unballer, flying to a tournament via chopper IS baller, decision should be clear.

I paid $700 roundtrip from Pittsburgh. I just booked it today.

That doesn't include the helicopter from Nice to Monte Carlo (I'm pretty sure I don't do this until I get to Nice?).

After reading about it on here I'm trying to Q for this now, too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] About to (hopefully) Q for a Saturday Satellite, anyone know how those sats play? Top 5% get the seat, correct?

Now the question is, will I actually go if I win a seat? I'm not sure, that may depend on my BR at the time...

You can't sell it to someone or just get W$? I did notice when I un-registered from this weekend's $800 sat that I got W$. If I can't get W$ or trade that might affect my decision on what to use those W$ for.

Ahh hell, I guess I could use ANOTHER vacation, you can never have TOO MANY right? Although I will have just finished a 10 day stay in Vegas, straight to Monte Carlo... Sounds like fun!
