RE: I'm Teaching Yoga at Steemfest!!! This Is My Campaign Launch
BRiLLiANT!!
Steemfest keeps getting better!! I hope you get the support you need to get your plane ticket. I wonder if you could source a cheaper flight though.

The link above could be useful. If you tell me what airport you would be flying from I can do the research for you as I would love to see you there and get some yoga in for the weekend :)
AWESOME, thank you so much! I am definitely excited to get the best deal possible because spending money is not my jam (even if it is using these magically generated SBD ). I truly honor the actual exchange of resources and I weigh my actions with great consideration. I trust that I will have the perfect amount of SBD to snag the perfect deal at the perfect time!
I would greatly appreciate the assistance you offer! I'm flying out of DFW, and my dates are completely flexible and open-ended.
OK I did some research and what I found turned out to be no cheaper than what you've already found.
But here's what I found using the advice from @shenanigator's post
Since your dates are flexible you could start travelling on Thursday morning 10th November and take 3 different flights to get to Amsterdam by either 2pm or 6pm (depending how much time you think you need for the 2nd layover) on Friday the 11th.

The above link displays a connecting flight from DFW Dallas to YYZ Toronto and an overnight flight to LGW London.
This would have you arrive in London for 10am (take into account possible delays) and from there you could choose one of these flights with British Airways at either 11:40 (this might be risky if you have checked luggage to college and check in) or 15:45 which would get you to Amsterdam just after 18:05.
Flight costs
Dallas - Toronto $171.79
Toronto - London $261.66
London - Amsterdam $108.21
I stopped when I got this far because I realised it's not any less expensive than what it seems you've hunted down yourself. These flights are all a bit cheaper if you leave a few days early. A few days to explore amsterdam before the steem parade arrives could be worth it and your experience would be valuable to the rest of us just arriving as you can scope the place out before we get there ;)
I really hope you get the support you need to get your ticket soon, I will try reblogging your daily Yoga posts.
Thanks @beanz, I'm really grateful you used your time to research and help me out! I will be happy to arrive early to scope the scene and hold it down. I'm looking forward to getting our yoga on!!!
Depending upon how many bounces you can survive -- I got a round-trip of $550 from Washington DC and the DFW-Washington round-trip is $128 . . . .
I suspect that there are many similar deals through New York . . . .
Note: The prices quoted were grabbed from Orbitz right before I posted this.
Awesome, I really appreciate that tip @mark-waser! Saving money on the airfare is as good as a powerful upvote in my book!! I am perfectly comfortable with long travel periods if it decreases cost, so I will be sure to keep an eye out for the best deal.
