I just made my last minute reservation for a room for AirVenture 2007.
Quite an adventure. When you use online sites, you see rooms motels that have rooms. I went through AAA with my tongue wrapped around my cheek for 15 minutes entering data and booking a room, only to have it crash with a SQL error message after hanging for 5 minutes at the final "confirm booking" step and getting a message to call - with no phone number of course.
I called the main AAA number, press 2, press 2, ring, ring disconnect. Try again. I get a the travel agent in my local AAA office who takes my info and calls back 4 hours later at 5:30PM to say the closest room is in Milwaukee.

I called a few motels and found that it also had unreliable data, but in the end I got a room. They didn't have the whole week in the same room, but I'm fairly confident that will work out by the time I get there. I think there are always no-shows.
