Air Travel - Discount Fares
Phoenix is on Standard Time. The
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is located in
the middle of the greater Phoenix Metropolitan area and is served
by all major airlines.
Official
airlines for the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) in Phoenix are Southwest
Airlines and United
Airlines.Given the volatility in airfares
because of "fare wars", we cannot guarantee that these will
be the lowest fares when you make your arrangements. However,
we strongly urge participants to make use of this special deal
if at all possible, since the AMS and MAA can earn complimentary
tickets. These tickets are used to send meetings' staff (not
officers or other staff) to the Joint Mathematics Meetings,
thereby keeping the costs of the meetings (and registration
fees) down.
The
following specially negotiated rates are available only for
these meetings and exclusively to mathematicians and their families
for the period January 1–14, 2004. Other restrictions/discounts
may apply and seats are limited.

Southwest
Airlines is offering an additional 10% discount on most of its
already low fares for air travel to and from the meeting.

the ID Code Q0158.
