 Hotel: 200$ (I'll be happy to share the room, or stay at any accommodation
 the organizers can provide)
 Travel: $460 (as of today, March 13)

 (Yes/No?)
 Unfortunately, No.

 attendance.
 n/a

 * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
 possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)

 I'll be taking multiple sessions/hack fests:

 The currently planned sessions are:
 - Fedora tour: current status, call for volunteers, hackfest
 - Fedora videos: current status, call for volunteers, hackfest
 - How to troubleshoot and get help when something breaks.


 * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such
 as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also
 let us know if you have specific time restrictions.

 * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?

 VISA required. It may take up to 2 weeks. A reference letter from the
 organizers would be needed.

 I'll pay for the visa charges myself.

 * Include any additional, relevant information.
 I'm an active member of the APAC Ambassadors. I'd like to meet all the
 other Ambassadors in person. We've been coming up some great ideas over
 the weeks, and it would be great to sit around a table and begin to put
 them in motion.

 Hi FranciscoD,

 Bengaluru == Bangalore right ? I checked the price for bangalore in
 airasia, its should be around USD350 including taxes and food for flight

 I think this one is the cheapest option :)

 This gets me to KL on 16th night (0015 on 17th). This means I will need
 accommodation for 16th night, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th night. That's 5
 nights.

 == Option 2 ==

     AK 1212 Bangalore (BLR) to Kuala Lumpur (KUL)[[BR]]

     ≈12.03 USDAirport Tax [[BR]]
     ≈9.03 USDFuel Surcharge [[BR]]

     ≈348.41 USDTotal

 There are no airasia flights on 17th. The second option will get me to KL
 on 18th night (0015 on 19th), making me miss the first day of the FUDCon.
 I would therefore prefer the first option if the accommodation is
 possible.
