I’m just wondering if I’ll miss out it if I can’t register with a few hours of registration opening.
I would not be surprised if the charter sold out within 24 hours of general registration opening up. In addition to the head start which the launch party attendees will have, 3 years of Star Mega Do's has created a pent-up demand from oneworld Do hopefuls. In addition, you have the Star Mega Do junkies who will want to get in on the action, even though they will not be earning any *A miles. And when you toss in the new Mileage Plus program which has been raped and pillaged at the 25K and 50K levels, and the disgruntled UA/CO lower- and mid-level elites who want to see what AA has to offer........it would not surprise me in the slightest if this Do sold out within MINUTES of general registration opening up.

I suggest that those of you who are still trying to work out your own personal scheduling and financial logistics use the remaining time between now and when registration opens up to figure out how to shift credit card and bank balances around, etc., or you may miss out altogether.
