Also waiting for the FRA-IAH (or rather JFK-(LX)-ZRH-(LX)-FRA-(LH)-IAH) pricing....
LH JFK-FRA-IAH: = 3128$ a.i. in Z LX JFK-xZRH-FRA: 1566$ a.i. in Business $3128 / 2 = $1564 ($2 from $1566). Each can draw their own conclusion on FRA-IAH. |

If A380 is completely out - then maybe the organizers should consider a Sunday night flight over for an extra day in FRA?

This is a great idea. It would make for a more pleasant trip to Europe, would help justify the more expensive Z fare and wouldn't require most of us (I guess) to take an extra day off from work.
That being said I understand what a nightmare this is for our beloved organizers, so I'm sure there's a reason for the Mon departure. But I second the idea :) OS has now given us their offer JFK-VIE-FRA too ^ Will post it during the day. |

This sounds interesting. I'm actually flying back through IAH in CO biz on Nov 1st. I'm sure I could arrange a stopover here before heading back to Phx later in the week. However, it sounds like it wouldn't do me any good since I wouldn't be allowed into the event since I hadn't booked the charter.

The tours, probably not. The FT Awards dinner is expected to be open to everyone who wants to attend.
The FT awards are a completely separate event and of course open to all. Excluding folks may sound harsh, but this event taking place in the home country of FT would attract quite a few additional people if we opened the gates to non charter participants. |

Costs: The scheduled flights LH has published a group fare for those starting in the US (JFK-FRA-IAH) and we will soon have a group fare for those starting in Europe (FRA-IAH//SEA-FRA). In order to allow some of you to try out a different airline, LX has arranged for a one way group fare (JFK-xZRH-FRA). The price currently is: LH JFK-FRA-IAH: 2748US$++ (3128$ a.i.) in Z, 320US$++ (700$ a.i.) in W/S LX JFK-xZRH-FRA: 1566$ a.i. in Business, 341$ a.i. in Economy SK: awaiting feedback CO: no group fare offered Will you offer a fare on LH/LX on FRA-IAH and ORD-FRA? |
Excellent news. ^ Great to see things coming together at such an early stage. Many thanks to the team and our airline friends, and while I share LHrelate's disappointment of not having the A380 on the JFK-FRA route I have to go to NRT anyway later this year so will give it a spin then ;)
Grateful if you could let us know soon what the fares for the ex Europe TATL (FRA-IAH/SEA-FRA) route might be, though one would assume they are similar to the JFK-FRA-IAH fare, right? |

I know that this whole charter is an important part of the whole DO. However, if there were any tour availability it would be a shame for it to go to waste. If, at some point, you decide to add this option for IAH or PHX, I'd certainly be interested. |

Perhaps you might consider a standby list in case there are any other openings. Since I believe there is a charity component to the DO, perhaps a contribution to help the assigned charities out?

The airlines spend considerable money and time to organise tours etc so taking care of 300 adequately is a tough job already.

Fully agree, also there is an element of supporting airlines in return by flying with them.;)

Whenever I get all flustered about another case where someone tried to pull a 'innovative' cheap trick on us, tommy just says 'what did you expect? these are flyertalkers like us' :D

Oliver,
Great job organizing this,,, Looking forward to seeing all again...^^ Any chance LH offering TATL portion in V fares for Y Class?:( Will LX or OS offer Y class fares as well? If so can you let me know which fares they will be under? |

I'm so looking forward to November :cool:
November 6 Participants start their their journey home: Europeans take LH 491 (dep. 15.45) back to FRA, Will LH also be offering add-on flights/fares to/from FRA for us Europeans? It'd be good to have all flights under one ticket. +1 Is something known about this? Thanks for information. |
