Indeed. My ORD-LAX has more than doubled. Glad I booked last week.

General_Flyer Feb 24, 2011 1:44 am

Guess, the SFO-ORD-PDX is out for me..

Dinner is still at 50% at this point...

billyliu Feb 24, 2011 8:13 am

Count me in for dinner! Not sure about the flight as SFO-ORD are pricing $500.

FriendlySkies Feb 24, 2011 8:47 am

Looks like a number of people are staying at the SFO Hyatt on Friday ^ Good thing the lounge will be open :)

HCA Feb 25, 2011 1:00 am

Put me as maybe for 3/25 dinner. potential business trip for that week!

Yes indeed.

Congrats on FT Evangelist status Daniel!

FriendlySkies Feb 27, 2011 5:39 pm

A bump for this amazing event! I was not at the last Denny DO, but the pictures promise an absolutely exciting event for everybody! Hope to see you on board :)^

RichardInSF Mar 1, 2011 10:57 pm

Dang, gonna be in Kyoto then!

MatthewLAX Mar 2, 2011 5:41 am

I can't believe more people aren't jumping in on this! This will truly be a memorable event. Trust me when I say that a flight with Captain Denny is one of the best treats in the air you will ever have.

SkiAdcock Mar 2, 2011 11:43 am

I'd love to attend & be on Denny's flight, but I'm skiing that weekend in Whistler & even that might get canceled due to work.

For those who have kids, they might be doing spring break stuff. For those who are chasing miles & promos they might have scheduled other trips already.

Let me say that I'm totally bummed I can't make it. Heck, if it had been the reverse routing I would have flown to Canada via SFO.

Cheers.

fooko2002 Mar 2, 2011 12:12 pm

An AS MVPG will being joining all the UA folks for this flight.

Dinner on 25th - Yes
UA760 - Yes

Looking forward to a great evening and flight! :)

Would jump, but the fare is too rich for my blood. (I keep checking, but I'm not holding out much hope that it'll drop.)

Are they still running +$500?

kevinsac Mar 2, 2011 3:22 pm

Like Pat .... I missed the "save the date" memo. :(

General_Flyer Mar 2, 2011 3:30 pm

Am afraid I'd have to sit this one out too.. The fare is getting more expensive, and I'd rather get myself 2 gaming consoles an a speaker system than spend that kind of money.. :(

Maybe next time round!

Top of climb Mar 2, 2011 8:26 pm

Are most people overnighting near ORD and then heading out the next morning? Trying to decide whether to go with an airport hotel or Chicago downtown proper, for a flight out Sunday evening.

+1, when I booked, SFO-ORD-LGA was cheaper than Capt Denny's flight alone.

Consequently, I'll be heading straight back to NYC (though truly bummed to be missing out on whatever postDO activities ensue)

Yeah, I'm looking at LAX-SFO-ORD-LAX, which is in the $700s -- whether I do it all on Saturday, or have an overnight at SFO Friday or ORD Saturday, doesn't change the fare much. I'd actually jump at anything under $600 (I have $400 in UA vouchers that I'm willing to make use of).

we are on for dinner but 99% out for the flight
 
looking forward to dinner!

trainman74 Mar 4, 2011 1:25 pm

I'm in for the flight! The fare did drop -- $479 a/i for the LAX-SFO-ORD-LAX triangle.

(And if there's anyone else who's still in need of E+ access, I can also guest one person in -- as with the others who've offered, send me your PNR via PM.)

Mainliner Mar 7, 2011 7:01 pm

Can't make the flight, but am looking forward to the dinner.

iluv2fly Mar 9, 2011 8:34 am

I'm in!

Just booked a flight to SFO and the party flight back home on Saturday.

Count me in for everything!

(Was offered a buy-up to F on the party flight for $300. I declined. I'll take my chances on the upgrade. :p )

It will be nice to see you again.. Seeing you in the NY Times is different than talking to each other :p

I'm so photogenic, aren't I? ;)

Add me to the list for the flight only. See you all then!

BTA Mar 9, 2011 9:03 pm

I'm In!
 
I have been fretting about the costs of this, but I ended up with a meeting in SF that week, so I'm in for both dinner and the flight!

lucky9876coins Mar 10, 2011 3:17 am

Excellent, shaping up nicely!^ We're up to 19 on the flight, not including Captain Denny and FO. Who wants to be #20?:D

lucky9876coins Mar 10, 2011 5:46 pm

And I just received word that Captain Andy, the SFO chief pilot, will be joining us for dinner as well!^
