Tell us the following:
Arrival: Not sure yet. If I want to arrive at Roanoke I'll need to order a ticket from another airline in addition, the closest location I can get to without ordering tickets in two different airlines is Washington DC.
Flight numbers: not sure yet. * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? Yes, visa and a passport, I'm not sure how long this is going to take. * Include any additional, relevant information. This is my last opportunity to attend a Fudcon in the next 3 years, because, from July, I'll be on 3 years mandatory military service for 3 years, during this time I won't have much time to contribute to Fedora. Furthermore, I'm only 17 and I don't have a job, so I won't be able to attend without funding.
Thanks.
Hmm, I think I found some cheaper flights, around $900, but I'm not exactly sure about the specific flights yet. So the minimum amount is now $800.
Scrap that, it was $900 for a one way ticket, with lots of waiting time between planes. I don't think waiting 6h is reasonable. But I did find a cheaper flight, $ 1289.94 (two way ticket) with much less waiting time:

}}} so the minimum amount is $1189, and I'm sorry about the mess I made.
Actually I'm not sure about that either, I don't think I understood that website correctly. I'll ask someone with more experience in flying to help me. sorry.
Sorry for spamming the ticket.
I finally understood how to use the website.

}}} This is a reasonable price, and the wait time isn't too much. Partial subsidy might help as well, so I guess the minimum amount would be $1009.94, I know it's quite a lot, but there is nothing cheaper with reasonable wait times.
And again, sorry for spamming the ticket.
Sorry for changing my mind all the time, but I found a cheaper flight.

Also, it seems that I'll probably need funding for lodging as well, which is about $360. partial subsidy might be helpful, minimum amount that would be helpful is $917.74 (flight)+$300 (hotel).
