Hmm... the fact that oliver2002jr. number two woke me up at 5am hit hard... All participants with a user name in the alphabet after oliver2002 got the blank password mail. Stupid script, fixed it, sent out the mail to the affected users again

Just a note to those who've also booked a spot in F on the charter. If you use Paypal, the charge will be $40, not $20. Oliver confirmed for me that this is Paypal's doing and that the extra handling fee for F class is correct.
That's what I get for going fancy-pants class!

I have a couple of questions and hope it's ok to ask them here rather than sending email to the organisers.
1. FF Program for charter mileage credit options include BMI Diamond Club. Has any agreement been reached with BMI?
2. I've already made hotel reservations at the events hotels listed. Do I leave the tickmarks next to these hotels or should I remove them?
3. For flights from/back to Europe, I've made my own arrangements since I submitted my original requests. On the left side (flight options) I don't seem to be able to de-select options completely. Should I select "a different flight/day"?
Thanks.

Fixed the 20$ paypal fee entry, again, it must be the sleep deprivation. 
All people paying from now on will charged correctly. Five lucky souls got a early payment bonus

2. No please mark which hotels you are staying in as we need totals to estimate logistics
3. I will contact all those who made group fare booking requests tomorrow to sort it out. The group fare needs to be ticketed by this weekend, so I've got my work laid out. The fact that I'm on the Oktoberfest with colleagues tomorrow afternoon won't help

I'm impressed. 16 people paid up in the past one hour. Maybe its the 'nice' EUR/USD exchange rate.

1. bmi is in the works and looks good so far.
2. No please mark which hotels you are staying in as we need totals to estimate logistics
3. I will contact all those who made group fare booking requests tomorrow to sort it out. The group fare needs to be ticketed by this weekend, so I've got my work laid out.
