Orientation flight

My orientation is August 3rd to August 5th. It says that the program starts at 1:00 PM.

My mom wants me to buy the tickets right now. So I figure, whatever flight I take I should get there at around 10:00 - 11:00 AM so I have time to get to the Davis campus (there's a bus right?).

Well if the program ends August 5th, what time do they want you out by? Is it all day on the 5th, and I should leave either late 5th or early 6th? Or is everything concluded by the 5th?

Does anyone know? Or has anyone bought their tickets yet?

Yeah you'll actually probably be done before noon on the third day so schedule your flight for afternoon/early evening (so you have time to get lunch and get to the airport).

Yeah, same here. My orientation is also on August 3-5, so I'm also looking for tickets and transportation too. I hear that if you fly from like the Ontario airport or the Burbank airport to SAC, it might be cheaper than the LAX to SAC flights.

How much did it cost? It usually costs us around $100 to fly from LA to Sac. When you go back to Hawaii, do u mind if I stay in your luggage? When is your orientation?

chocolatecake27 open the link I provided above and scroll down the page. The various types of shuttles are listed. You will need to call for further information.
