Looks like $500 from London, $600 from Paris, $767 from San Francisco these days—doesn’t sound too far out of the question. It also sounds like the award came with hotel accommodation, supervision, and meals, too, once the kids landed in Shanghai… “Yikes” feels to me a lot like looking a gift horse in the mouth. I only wish more hackerspaces were that “stingy” with ambitious kids.

On the other hand, Google's ticket browser notes that those prices are about $700 below "usual", and if you search for tickets in April there's one flight for $867 and the next cheapest after that is $1,005. I'm guessing the ticket prices won't get more advantageous if you wait until March to book them.
