Flights

We should aim for
Avignon arrival with
Grenoble departure.

If you can't get flight into Avignon then just shoot for Grenoble arrival and depart. We can get van at either.

Worst case we land in Grenoble or Marseille, then take off from Grenoble.

AA Flights::: DFW to Marseille MRS (no Avignon flights) depart july 16, return july 25
Dallas to Marseille by 5PM on the 17th at the earliest transferring through London
or
Dallas to Aix en Provence QXB by 5pm

Marseille to Dallas would be at 9:30 am Saturday arriving dfw at 5pm


NOTES IN CASE WE HAVE TO GO TO PARIS FIRST:
Typically arrive at De Gaulle Airport in Paris between 8-10 am and then transfer on.
When looking don't be too alarmed by shorter transfer times either, in France you don't go through customs and re-check your bags like in the states when you arrive international. You do that when you arrive at your final destination in France so for instance if you switch planes in Paris you wouldn't see your bags like you would in the US and have to deal with customs. You get off the plane and probably have to go to another terminal, going through security again but without all of your bags. The customs stuff happens in the city of your final de-plane.

Ultimately, if we can get an itinerary into Avignon France, and out of Grenoble that would be easiest. Avignon may be tricky though at there aren't tons of flights there.

I guess when you guys book maybe I can peek at the itinerary to make sure there are no snafu's, the biggest ones are flying you through wierd hubs or making you land in Paris at De Gaulle and transfer by bus to Orly, the other Paris airport. Also, the less plane changes the better so your luggage risks getting lost less.
