SIGMOD/PODS and these reservation services nor any other hotels besides

Travel Information:
Special arrangements were made with American
Airlines for discounted air fares ! Call American Airlines at 1-800-221-2255,
and say you are with the Association for Computing Machinery (do not mention
ACM as American Airlines does not use acronyms !). The reservation
agent will ask for a AN number which is, for SIGMOD/PODS 2000, 0850VA.
Local Transportation:
Attendees can call Super
Shuttle ahead of time to pick them up at the airport, as long as they
have their arrival/departure time. The number is 1-800-blue-van (258-3826).
Another possibility is to wait until they
arrive at the airport. Attendees should then go to the baggage claim area
and go over to the phone system, for hotels and shuttles. It will instruct
them to dial a 2 digit number and the attendees will need to identify themselves
with ACM SIGMOD, going to the Adam's Mark. The dispatcher will then tell
them where to go hop on the shuttle.
Upon leaving Adam's Mark, the shuttle comes
every half hour, beginning on the hour. Or they can call the above number
themselves and schedule a specific pick-up time. The concierge at the hotel
can schedule a pick up time for you as well.
