Can you share a link to the Discord? I have seen it being mentioned, but did not find a link. Perhaps even add it to a sticky post?

Hi ISTFlyer and Nephoi and all.

This time we are late to the party as I only found this thread today. We know there has been a lot work done already. However, it would be great to join you guys. Let me know if at all possible and we would be two to add.

Also happy to help with anything if needed.
Can also pm me at anytime.

Loving the effort here and on the Discord too where the help is amazing. Can't wait to hear details on the next two DOs once the Seattle one is booked by those going!

the next thing im planning is merchandise.

caps, mugs, backpacks, "My Friend was part of the SOF-SEA do and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"-T-Shirts, matching outfits. mousepads, bumper stickers, pop sockets, iphone cases, and of course Face-Masks

everyone shall be boarding with a "do I look like i fly economy" shirt on. i throw in my BA china i ordered last year. "no, thanks, we're fine, we brought our own dishes"

THE WHOLE PROGRAMME!

I had a little hiccup with one of the AA flights on the AA PNR that was generated. Everything looked fine on the BA PNR, but one flight was AWOL on the AA PNR. A quick DM on Twitter to AA and they fixed it in a little over 12 mins. I’m impressed with the response.

Only other issue I have is I can’t find the AS PNR anywhere. That said, I was able to go to the RJ site and at least select a seat. No reference available on the AY site.

Thanks again for hosting and helping to set this up.

It wasn't! 1:50 on the phone to Greece. Although the AAgent sounded cute.

Make it double, if I bring mine.

IIRC it's the same as the BA one.

at first it sounded silly, but tbh it would be quite nice.

its obvious that we can't use the BA/Oneworld/BAEC logos for copyright reasons (and many more - including it would suggest we are associated with that companies). but maybe someone is into graphic design and wants to design a little logo for that one.

as a first draft what could be possible for us. prices would be somewhere around 20 GBP depending on size and number we are booking. shop is spreadshirt. to lower the cost I would order them all and hand them out to you once we see eachother

I thought the same, but pasting it into the AS website gave an invalid format error. The BA PNR contains numbers. I’m pretty sure AA uses letters only, so perhaps AS is the same?

I'm really interested in this, but I won't know for certain if I'm able to travel until I know whether a family event is happening at around the same time. (Both won't be possible).

I've signed up and had an invite to the Discord, but I hope there's no expectation that everyone commits just yet!
