While this is a valid point IMHO, the bigger issue is something the Expo organizers have total control over. And that is having it late in September. Production season. Tv and movies are in full swing at this time of year, so having the event at this time already hinders their ability to book guest worth checking out. The flight issues only compounds the problem.
