We are requiring ALL players/families to individually purchase airline tickets. PVLC will NOT be paying travel expenses for any player. We need ALL players to choose from the list of flights below such that we have coordinated travel plans and the ability to transport ALL the players to the hotel and game fields after arrival at Seattle/Tacoma Airport. Tickets need to be booked through Southwest airlines. The ticket prices are currently running around $285 with NO baggage fees. Every attempt should be made to book tickets immediately for one of the selected flights. Delaying your purchase will likely result in you paying MUCH more money as prices continue to climb.
