Flights, time and distance

Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Peoria, Washington and Normal are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if North Peoria has nothing free on your dates.
