Is the TATL basically everyone meeting for normal snacks/drinkies in the LH lounge before flight (vs last year's woo-hoo reception), the C on the flight, sleep upon arrival & the *Alliance (or whatever it will be called) dinner party, and then just snacks/drinkies before C flight to IAH, or is there something else involved?
Cheers.
Cheers.

Just back from a trip to Shanghai, where loading FT pages was a pain. Think I know why, but that's off-topic.
Anyway, just had the chance to check in with this thread, and I'm looking forward to the bookings and the trip. Not sure I'll make the TATL leg, but the charter should be just fine. Also made sure my the email listing is up to date.
Thanks for all the hard work, guys.

Assuming we're using CO MeetingWorks, can it accept my booking EWR-IAH, SEA-EWR or must it follow a certain rule yet unknown to me (i.e. return leg must be from the meeting's designated endpoint, IAH or ORD assuming CO is our charter operator)?
I searched the CO forum, but MeetingWorks rules are different for each event's negotiated setup.

Also will the ex-EU price include a TATL back to FRA only or will it be possible to get a ticket back to our home locations (in my case LHR)?
Again thanks for all your efforts. Hopefully I can organise some time off for this. ^

Okay, please excuse me for being ignorant on this point, but why would you submit the deposit on Saturday, May 15, when the schedule and pricing will not be announced/posted until Monday, May 17?

Because there was previously the intention to have booking open on May 15. That has been postponed because, among other things, it is a Saturday.
