Southwest Airlines is known for its low fares. Plus, they are probably the only carrier that does not charge for luggage up to a certain number of bags according to their tariff (consider size and weight of luggage as key factors also) ! That can save about $40 EACH WAY just on the air fare. For the Expo you can fly Southwest into/or leave from either LaGuardia Airport in New York City, (LGA) Newark Liberty International in NJ (EWR) or Long Island Airport (ISP) also known as Islip Airport and also Macarthur Airport or LI Macarthur. Be aware that travel into and out of Newark Lliberty International Aiport is on the "other" side (west) of the metropolitan area. Newark Liberty International Airport is not convenient to the Expo venue in Brooklyn, New York City. However it IS convenient if you are going into Manhattan prior to the Expo or prior to the 5 Long Island College Consortium Education Job Fair in Garden City, Long Island, NY.
Spirit Airlines and Frontier also serves Long Island from many Florida cities.
