Don't know if anyone noticed, but assembly time listed in post # 1 for the charter is 6am with flight at 7am. So for anyone worried about the exec lounge being too crowded, there's one day that it won't be 
And it's an extra hour of sleep compared to last year
Cheers.

At this time we do not expect that to happen. Sorry.

Hardly "most of the Alliance" since only LH/M&M, CO and UA are giving mileage credit on the Charter (unsure about US even though it is a host in PHX this time around but then so was SK last year and it didn't give mileage then either). There are over 20 STAR Alliance carriers so it is more correct to say "few of the Alliance"...

On a related note, post #2 also mentions that BD DC is still at the negotiating table.
I thought there was some conclusion in a few pages of posts ago that we probably can't get anything from BD. Has there been a change of heart(s)?
I don't think Mercedes manufacture luxury buses. Or do they?
They could always make multiple trips with their entire fleet of cars, but they will likely force us all to fill up every car cf. a car for each pax.
Let's not even think about enough rubber duckies for everyone

Yes, you'll be able to change it. For everyone who has specified a preference to collect for the charter in a program that we won't actually be able to collect in we'll have a way for you to change it.
