The other thing is that NZ is probably the most online savvy Star Alliance airline, so they could well be very keen to engage with a large frequent flyer community such as FT. With their recent Longhaul Product launch, they invited many high profile travel/aviation bloggers to AKL, in doing so, getting copious amounts of online coverage.

E.g.

Airpoints Fairy - every day the Airpoints Fairy grants a wish, small or large to an Airpoints member. Airpoints Fairy on Twitter (more active).

NZ has 7 Twitter pages, some which are quite active. This is the main one.

In addition, I'm sure they'd be quite happy to show off about their new product.

Would this be during the summer? I doubt it right? I wish I could go to one of these Mega Do's but can't cause of school Wouldn't mind missing a few days of my internship to go to one of these bad boys, especially if Boeing is one of the places we'd visit!

Star Mega DO 2

  3. $3-4k, depending on program
I trust the organizers will balance the realities of time and money with the enormous fun and enthusiasm to come and look forward to more news.

I didn't attend the last because I didn't know there was a CommunityBuzz forum thus not about StarMegaDO until afterwards, but as a huge CO fan and S*A fan before that (was US Airways Dividend Miles 1999 onwards until I moved from PIT to EWR in 2004), I'm very hopefuly to make the 2nd.

I can't answer this question, because it depends from the program.

Similar answers, for simplicity. I mean no offense if I left yours out.
