The first annual Star Alliance Mega DO November 3rd thru 6th
All,
Us Scandinavians usually have an annual DO and this year would be no different. Long story short, the SAS DO has now turned in to an annual Star Alliance DO instead hosted by AC, CO, LH and SK! Many of you have already seen the thread in the SAS forum, I thought it was appropriate to move the thread to Community so more Flyertalkers can join. Old thread can be found here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/sas-e...v-5th-6th.html Before you post, please note: - If you are interested, please read the first few posts and post in this thread. The list of participants is pending prices and set program - The maximum participants is 300. Here we go: Flyertalk presents: The first annual Star Alliance DO! Join us for a once in a lifetime experience, including the first Flyertalk chartered flights on a widebody! On this flights the Flight Attendants will actually be there for your safety only.

put me on the list
|
I would love to join this DO flight but can't swing the cost. I would love to volunteer to work the hanger party in EWR, as an employee of CO. Is this possible?
|
Mr & Mrs BiziBB would be very interested but cannot commit right now.
If it can be done on a BD redemption I'd try to get a flight back from SYD, via NZ, to also get to Wijomas' Hawkes Bay Do. :) It would be great to include this great event in a BD longhaul Z2 redemption. I just wanted to thank tommy777 and everyone helping - for including the generous invitation here. It looks amazing. ^ |
I am definitely interested, +1, pending final price. I think I can swing the prices mentioned above. Not sure if I'd join from the US or join the fun in Europe.
|
Email sent. This would be my 2009 BDay present to myself :)
