FAQ to assist you in filling out the registration form

Personal Details

'Why do I have to give so much detail?'

We need your full name for the flight booking / manifest, the passport details
are usually required for security clearances at the airport and Boeing

' I don't have a FT, scanair.no or VFT handle'
No problem, just add a _p1 if you are a +1 to an existing participant, or write
'no FT/VFT handle' in the field

'I have many FFP memberships, which one do I put in here?
For now please enter the highest elite status FFP you have in here.
Once the FFP credit amounts are clarified, you can indicate your choice where you want the miles to go.

Charter Options
How do I get my seating preference and class of service?

Like last year the time of submission of this form counts as priority
indication for seating assignment and getting your choice of class of service.


How much luggage can I bring with me?

We are extremely restricted in terms of luggage handling, so please limit your luggage to one piece as checked luggage and avoid taking anything bigger than a handbag on board to speed up any security checks and to minimize boarding times. If you are not the smart Ryan Bingham and need more, we advise you to make use of the FedEx baggage shipping.

Hotel Options

I want to stay at a different hotel
No problem, just make sure you know the schedule and report in time

The hotel is far cheaper on priceline / with corporate codes / points
You are free to book the hotel as you wish. The rate are a little higher than
the deepest discounted rates as we will retain some flexibility and since
the hotels in some cases are providing some of the event catering & facilities

Scheduled Flight Options

I want to make my own flight arrangements with cheaper fares / points etc
Feel free to make your own arrangements, but please note that the
organizers cannot accommodate you or wait if your flights are delayed.
Make sure you keep adequate buffer times and report to the event meeting
points in time.

I want to fly out in Business and back in Economy
No problem, just choose the class of service for each segment

I just need a one way
Feel free to only pick one segment.

I don't want to be on the scheduled event flights but fly in or out earlier/ later
That is fine, just make sure you don't fly more than one week before or after
the event. Also a 5% surcharge will apply to such segments if the number of participants on that flight is less than 10.

I want to upgrade the LH segments with miles or SWUs
Note that the fares provided here are not meant to be upgraded.

Why are the prices higher than last year?
The airlines expect higher loads on our flights this year and have to account
for lost revenue.

UA doesn't have a flight to JFK that suits me.
Feel free to choose a feeder that flies into LGA or EWR instead keeping
in mind the transfer time to JFK and NYC traffic.

Event options
I just want to be at the events, this is a DO afterall.
Sadly this is not an open Do, you have to be on the charter* to be
part of any event. This is to control the number of attendees and costs for the sponsors.

I'll just mark all events, and later decide
Please be careful to pick which events you want to attend. Last time
everyone wanted to be at every event and reality was a bit different
causing headaches for both the organisers and the sponsors.

Why do I have to pay for the FT awards dinner?
The FT awards event is happening during the Starmegado, but is not part of the Starmegado. In order to account for the catering and make the costs transparent, we have separated the event and also will charge separately (aprox 40$).
