Marauder SASS #13056 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Travel time and cost is a major consideration for folks going to a convention. If you are driving, you want good interstate roads for as much as possible. And to be as close to the location as you can - to save time and $$. Since the major population is distributed along the coasts, being in central U.S., such as Kansas City, St Louis or Oklahoma City, guarantees that the people in the most populated parts of the county will have to drive about two days - with a night to stay somewhere. So if you are planning to fly, you will want direct flights that take you to the end location. Take a look at the flight schedules for Delta: Delta US Flight Map and American: http://www.airlineroutemaps.com/USA/American_Airlines.shtml You will notice that Branson, KC, St Louis, and OKC will require a change of planes for most folks. Plus, since the cost is normally lower for full planes where many want to fly, the costs are often higher for places like that. Flying where you have to change planes, pay more, then rent a car and drive more than a couple hours will definitely discourage attendance. Plus, if you fly into a large metro-mess (metroplex), you will need transportation to many of the better convention places. If the place has good local transportation such as the D.C. metro or similar, that can help. If you want to go in the winter, you want to be generally south and or close to the ocean. The end result is that some places truly shine, including Vegas and Salt Lake City. They are easy to fly to, not so large as to require much for local transportation, the travel costs are reduced and hotels are fairly reasonable. Plus, Vegas is pretty close for the Southern Cal folks, so they can drive if they like. So relatively remote locations, even moderately large cities, such as OKC, KC, St Louis, and certainly Branson, MO would probably not be very successful.
