How to search for Airfare and Accommodations

Elektra57

There will be an official post regarding accommodations on https://www.ltxexpo.com/ from LTT when it gets closer to the time tickets are released. Last year it was the end of February. 

 

Here is how I go about finding the best flights and hotels. The best tip is do not use just one site. Check around and find the best deal. I ended up getting the best deal going through the hotel website, not the booking site. You do not want to wait on these because the longer you wait the less availability these places will have.  Don't count Hostels out. Hostels in Canada are actually pretty nice and clean. The ones I looked at were well reviewed and some had free breakfast. 

 

I have put some websites that I use below.

Anyone look into flights yet? I was using google flights. Current price for Aug 6th - Aug 10th is about $300-350, but i was hoping for other websites to use, to check for the best price.

And thanks, @Elektra57 for putting together the Hotel list. I was just about to start searching for a place to stay, so i really appreciate it.

Thanks! You can also download hopper. It is an app that will watch flights for you. I also forgot to mention that some websites have a mobile discount. so make sure to check it on your phone to see if there is a price difference. Last year Dreamhack had a hotel block and I know LTT had been checking for discounts. They usually release that info on WAN Show and the website which is: https://www.ltxexpo.com/ . Last year all the info was released including tickets by late February.
