Membership

So what’s up with this membership stuff you’re offering you ask? Well, we’ve been working with the DOT closely to make the charter a private affair, meaning we’ll save a bunch on money that needs to be set aside and a boatload of paper work.

The system is a win win for everyone and United has been on us to get this done for operational purposes.

We’re still working with the DOT and are hoping to implement the memberships, but to be on the safe side, we are filing this as a public charter, so no 10 dollar membership will be necessary to buy a ticket on this MegaDo.

So there you have it! SMD5 will go on sale May 20th at noon central US time

Business $2799

Tommy Class Emergency Exit $1999 (middle seat blocked)

Tommy Class $1799 (middle seat blocked)

Coach $1199


Unfortunately, the prices this year are a little bit higher than usual. There are a few reasons for this: The flights are longer, the cost is 20% higher than last year, the taxes are also almost 30% higher than last year, costs for buses are up 150% and we don't have as many premium seats for sale, actually the lowest we've ever had.
