I’ve been really into frequent flyer programs and optimizing tickets for years, but I only fairly recently started actually booking RTW tickets. I’m now a few tickets in, and while I’ve learned a lot already, there is still a ton I’m trying to better understand, especially around pricing nuances, routing strategy, carrier mix, upgrade strategy, and the practical tradeoffs people make when piecing these together.

It seems like there are a handful of people on here who really know this stuff at a deep level, and I thought it could be fun to meet up in person and talk shop.

I’m based in New York, but I’d be open to doing this in New York, London, Tokyo, Paris, Seoul, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Oslo, Amsterdam, Miami, Dallas, Charlotte, Chicago, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Boston, Raleigh-Durham, Phoenix, or potentially elsewhere depending on interest.

If this sounds interesting, reply here or send me a PM. Curious whether there’s enough interest to make a DO happen.
I would attend if not inconvenient. Am far from the most knowledgeable but have done maybe 20 over the last two decades, starting in varied locations. I'm London based. If the last day of this month and LHR T5 works then you can piggy back a substantial DO, a bunch of BA GGLs are celebrating the end of their/an era (major rule changes gutting access to GGL for many) in the concorde lounge.
