Travel to Albuquerque
The American Society of Indexers has arranged discounts on two airlines: Continental and Southwest.
If you book your flight to Albuquerque with either Continental or Southwest, please use the group travel numbers given below. The discount to you may be only a few dollars, but ASI gets a ticket for every so many passengers booked.

Southwest Airlines
For 10 percent discount off most fares available for the date and time you wish to travel, call the Southwest Airlines Meetings number: 1-800-433-5368. At the outset, give the reservations agent the code number W1400 for the American Society of Indexers annual meeting. You can consult Southwest's Web site (http://www.southwest.com) for information on schedules and fares. For the discounted ASI fare, however, you must call the number given above rather than book online. If you prefer to book your flight through a travel agent, just give the agent the code number and that the group name is American Society of Indexers. You will still receive the discount and ASI will get the appropriate credit.

Continental Airlines
For travel May 3 through May 19, Continental Airlines offers ASI members special zone fares for booking at least 14 days in advance of travel. There is a higher set of fares (about $100 additional) for those who book only 5 days in advance.
Consult Continental's web site for schedules (http://www.continental.com). To book your flight, call your travel agent or Continental's MeetingWorks Department: 1-800-468-7022. Give the reservations agent the meeting reference number OQFRYH. If you are outside the toll-free dialing area, contact your local Continental Reservations Office. Travel agents will also need the Z code for ticketing at the discounted rate: ZRV5.
