PSIA-AASI will book your lodging reservation. You will room with another person from the delegation. Flight Details:PSIA-AASI members are responsible for booking their flights. Due to limited flight options from Helsinki to Kittila, PSIA-AASI partnered with a travel agent offering discounted flights to the USA delegation. Flights start and stop out of New York (JFK) and Chicago (ORD) and are limited in number. Those flights will cost $1,350 AND you must book your own flight to get to either New York (JFK) or Chicago (ORD). After registering for Interski, you’ll receive a confirmation email with more details about these rates and how to book these flights. If you prefer not to book the discounted flight with the travel agent, note that you’ll need to book your own flight.
