Iolanda, I find this entirely unsatisfactory:

“If you did not buy a ticket for your direct transport from and to the
airport, you do not have direct transport from and to the airport.”

The link never worked the many times I tried. Andy Mabbett and I have
reported to you the problems with the Eventbrite link being listed as
“unavailable.” Your current schedule says on a main travel day of Thursday,
23 June, only enough people (4?) have requested Malpensa -> Esino
transportation. I find that hard to believe considering the volume of folks
going to the conference.

Can we please get some more help for coordinating travel from the Wikimania
team? I feel we are working in the dark here. Thanks.
