Edmonton isn't a common air destination, so you might want to be a bit more diligent in finding low cost air fares.  Also don't forget about travel requirements, including passports.

 

Please let us know if you find a particularly good air fare deal that you would like to share with others.

 

My preliminary research indicates that from the U.S. and Mexico, America West has good prices.  Its route map shows that its hubs are Las Vegas and Phoenix, but it provides service from most major U.S. and Mexican cities.  On December 21 I found the following sample round-trip fares (not including taxes and fees): Los Angeles to Edmonton, $275; Tampa to Edmonton, $362; New York to Edmonton, $388.

 

Airline Information On-Line provides some useful general information, including lists of U.S. and foreign airlines with their Web sites.  The Route and Schedule Service page looks particularly useful. 

 

Air Transat has information on charter flights from Europe to Canada.  Although travel times are limited, the prices are much much cheaper than what I found with regular airlines.  Keep in mind that Calgary (about 3 hours from Edmonton) is an alternate destination, especially if you plan to do mountain touring before or after the conference.

Travel to Canada

 

Information on travel to Canada can be found at:

 http://travel.state.gov/tips_canada.html

Here is some information from that site:

Visas are not required for U.S. citizens entering Canada from the U.S.

 

You will, however, need:

 

(1) proof of your U.S. citizenship such as your U.S. passport (For information on obtaining a U.S. passport, check with one of the regional passport agencies located throughout the U.S.) or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county or state in the U.S. where you were born. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen and do not have a passport, you should travel with your naturalization certificate. A driver’s license or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship.

 

(2) photo identification, such as a current, valid driver’s license.

 

All U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid passport.

 

Alien permanent residents of the U.S. must present their Alien Registration Card, commonly called a “Green Card.”

 

If you are a dual U.S./Canadian citizen you should always present yourself as a Canadian citizen when entering Canada. However, U.S. citizens should use their U.S. passports when entering or leaving the United States.

 

Due to international concern over child abduction, single parents, grandparents, or guardians traveling with children often need proof of custody or notarized letters from the other parent authorizing travel. (This is in addition to proof of citizenship as explained above.) Any person under the age of 18 and traveling alone should carry a letter from his/her parent or guardian authorizing the trip. Travelers without such documentation may experience delays at the port of entry.

 

For further information, including information on student or business travel, visitors can contact the Embassy of Canada at 501 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20001, (202) 682-1740, see their Internet home page at http://www.cic.gc.ca or contact the nearest Canadian consulate. (A list of Canadian consulates is at the end of this brochure.)
