What can I expect?
Everything you need to know about how to attend 2023 NF SUMMIT in Scottsdale is posted here on this page, but your fellow volunteer veteran attendees are your best resource. Please reach out in the CTF Volunteer Workplace with your questions or email volunteer@ctf.org.
Flights/Travel:
Question: Flight prices seem very high right now. When is the best time to buy?
Answer: Use sites like Kayak.com or Travelocity.com where you can set parameters around the schedule you need, nearby airports and where you can set up alerts for rising fares. Kayak also gives you the price with taxes and fees. Be careful with ala carte sites that lure you with low fares and then don’t allow carry-on baggage; charging hefty sums for checked bags. The Hopper App is also good for letting you know when to buy and when to wait. Read this informative article for more tips: https://www.afar.com/magazine/the-best-time-to-buy-airline-tickets

Hotel Reservations:
Question: I am planning to arrive on Wednesday, but the link to book the hotel is not allowing me access to the group rate and/or tells me there is no availability. How do I book my room?
Answer: The event was planned with the intention that the majority of people would be arriving on Thursday, therefore the room block is only set up for Thursday through Sunday. Since we are requesting VLTC attendees to arrive on Thursday, your reservation will show a rate of $259 for Thursday, but it will be adjusted to $179 (for VLTC attendees only) before check out (the hotel will average the rate over the three nights when you book, so it make look like this initially: $206 p/night = $159+$159+$259/3). If you wish to arrive even earlier or stay beyond Sunday, you may need to call the hotel yourself to make the reservation. Be aware that the group rate will be $259 (up until the block is fully booked) and will be higher for nights outside the block. If they have already booked the number of rooms they have allotted for that rate on a particular day, the reduced rate may no longer be available.
