Pretty sure you can do it in 2 hops by flying EasyJet from Sicily to London for example. Travel meta-searches don't include all the cheap airlines (either because they're blocked from access or won't earn affiliate revenue).
Thanks for the Redis conf update, looking forward to seeing some of the talks.
- antirez 12y agoTrue, but unfortunately for many dates, it is impossible to find a flight to London that is compatible with catching the flight to SF, since there are many days where a direct flight is not available, or is available at the wrong time. Moreover if it's not the same company and you miss the London->SF one, you are going to totally lose the money and need to book a new flight, which is very bad given the cost :-) However what I can do next time is to go in London a couple days before, meet some people there or just have some fun if it's weekend, and then go to SF.
- gadders 12y agoIf any of these very big companies are in the UK, I'm sure they'd pay the Sicily->UK bit in exchance for some of your time or speaking to their devs.

- coldcode 12y agoAs amazing as Redis is, you should be given a free plane!
- simonebrunozzi 12y agoSalvatore, next time you should have everybody come to Sicily. Such a beautiful place. I would happily come. :)
- raverbashing 12y agoIf you talk to a travel agent they might be able to have several flights on different carriers on the same ticket, avoiding the problem of having to buy the second flight if the first one has an issue. Through Switzerland or Germany it might be easier than London.
