Your Pain-Free Logistics Guide That Makes Working With Brian Norris REALLY EASY!!

Travel Logistics

Airport specifics
Brian currently resides in Milwaukee and flies from General Mitchell International Airport (MKE), Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Where possible straight flights, with the shortest air-time are preferred. Business class is preferred, especially when traveling outside the continental US. If flying coach, please request an exit row or bulk head seat (Brian is 6'4 and has long legs that dislike cramped rows).

Brian generally arranges his own travel, which is invoiced separately, unless the client prefers to arrange the travel and direct-bill to their master account or credit card. Electronic ticketing is fine, as long as Brian receives a complete copy of his travel itinerary.

Ground transportation specifics
Please make arrangements for Brian to be picked-up from and returned to the airport after the event. If no pick-up is available, please let Brian know in advance and he will reserve a rental car. If you are making the reservation via direct-bill, please request at least a mid-size vehicle.

Hotel specifics
When arranging hotel accommodations, please specify a non-smoking room with a king-sized bed. Brian generally arrives the night before the event, if not speaking in Milwaukee. Please be sure to arrange for late check-in at the hotel and to forward Brian a copy of the confirmation number and the address of the hotel in advance.
