Flights/Travel Info

• Do we want to book flights from Paris/Geneva-athens and back, and back all together, 3 at a time? I saw somewhere that there's a good/better way to fly -- its like, you fly INTO athens and out of turkey or visa versa, i'll be in touch about that. Also, emma says she knows of some good places to get good tickets to greece. Hm.
