Airports and accommodations:

Airports: There are three airports near Moscow. 

•  Pullman/Moscow (4-5 miles from the University)
•  Lewiston (25 miles from Moscow)
•  Spokane (80 miles from Moscow)

The flights are usually cheaper going to Spokane. There is a shuttle twice a day from Spokane to Moscow. It costs about $ 45, but we
will  reimburse the cost. If we know in advance your schedule then we can send a van to pick up several people at once from the
Spokane airport.

   Hotels:     I have reserved a block of rooms at the Best Western. When calling to make the reservation please make sure to mention
                            that you are part of  the Math Conference Group. The deadline to reserve a room at Best Western is May 13.
                            Please contact me if you need help to reserve a room.
