DSN 2008 The 38th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks

June 24-27, 2008
Anchorage, Alaska, USA

This year we have negotiated discount codes with two airlines and one rental car agency as follows. Of course you are free to use whichever airline you like, but this might save you some money! Look below for:

• American Airlines
• Continental Airlines
• Avis Rental Cars

Please note that these discounts are for limited ranges of dates around the time of our meeting, and don't guarantee the lowest possible fare, so shop around first. Of course all the usual airline mumbo jumbo applies -- ask the airline for any special rules that pertain to your ticket. We don't endorse these particular airlines; we are simply providing these discount codes as a service to the community. Please note that there is a fee for phone reservations with most airlines, so if that matters to you do some comparison shopping on the Web before calling one of the phone numbers listed below. Hopefully these codes are also helpful for our non-US attendees; please let us know if you have any hints or suggestions that have helped when attempting to use them.

If you are coming from Europe, be sure to check out the Condor Airlines non-stop from Frankfurt to Anchorage, which flies several times per week. From Asia, you most likely will connect in Seattle for the shortest trip duration.

American Airlines:

• Discount from published price only:
  Book on-line at http://www.aa.com and use "Promotion Code" A4768AQ
  On-line booking will not bring up zone fares; you have to make a phone call to do that (see below).

OR

• Discount or zone fare (they will tell you which is cheaper):
  Call the American Airlines Meeting Services Desk at +1-800-433-1790 and ask for "Promotion Code" A4768AQ.

OR

• Ask your travel agent if they can apply "Promotion Code" A4768AQ to your reservation.

Ask about car rental discounts from Avis when you make your reservations.

Continental Airlines:

• Book on-line at http://www.continental.com and use "Offer Code" ZCQ4AD56K0

OR

• Call MeetingWorks at +1-800-468-7022 and ask for "Z Code" ZCQ4 and "Agreement Code" AD56K0.

OR

• Ask your travel agent if they can apply "Z Code" ZCQ4 and "Agreement Code" AD56K0 to your reservation.

(note: the last digit on all the above codes is a numeric zero.)

Ask about car rental discounts from Avis when you make your reservations.

Avis Car Rentals:

• Use Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) Number A422399.
• Use this AWD number when calling Avis directly at 1-800-331-1600 to receive the best car rental rates available.
• You can also book on-line at http://www.avis.com although it is unclear whether the discount will be as high compared to via phone call
• Discount code is good on car groups A, B, C, D, E, V, W only.

Please note that there is an 11% fee for renting at the airport for the entire length of your rental. If you are planning a significant vacation as part of this trip, you might consider taking a taxi to a non-airport car rental location (downtown Anchorage) and picking up your car there to save that fee.
