Also, you know what "assume" means...

I guess I am confused by the term "small registration." As I say, I may be the only one...

Either way, the the path forward for the OP is now clear: send Randy an email or keep an eye out for a thread about them. ^

FWIW I was similarly confused - seemed like it meant to include "fee" after "registration". Otherwise I don't know what a small registration is. Anyway seems like the basic question got answered for folks interested in going. I'd find the Freddies more interesting than the Oscars, Grammys, etc.:-:

A short/simple web form in which you indicate your name and contact info, perhaps. :-:

Ah, yes that would make sense! Anyway, size doesn't really matter:D

Thanks again Randy!

I really can't add anything to what wharvey said. Randy has always been generous when it comes to members of this bb and Milepoint. ^

Many a good time was had by all attendees when The Freddies were held in NY. IIRC, I met Sir Freddie Laker at one of these events. He was a class act. @:-)

I know he has many other ventures to tend to, but it's nice to see Randy Petersen continues to stop by FlyerTalk

Nice to see that they filled in the second day. It was looking rather sparse there for a while.

Indeed. OTOH, LH went from presenting to attending and the UA/AA/etc showdown is gone too.

I've seen how this sausage is made; that's not too surprising IMO.

From a post on MilePoint:


Good morning! Anyone who requested an invite to the Freddie Awards and didn't receive confirmation, pls start a conversation with me or shoot me an e-mail at ed -at- Milepoint dot com and I'll get it resolved for you.

Apologies for any confusion.
Have fun at the party! ^

Lifemiles is there. The heavy Lifemiles users should take note of that.

Lifemiles was at the Mega Event in November (I sat next to one of their guys at dinner one night) and the comparable conference last April as well.

For those of you unable to attend the Freddie Awards, and i realize that many who have commented here with advice have not attended, here's a recap of the recent event from Airline Reporter:

Best Earning Promotion— American Airlines – AAdvantage
Best Elite Level — American Airlines – AAdvantage
Best Redemption Ability — AviancaTACA – LifeMiles
Program of the Year — American Airlines – AAdvantage

Hotel Winners

Happy to see UA shut out.

But if the vote was held today (or even as they were receiving their award) I suspect AA would not have come out on top. Far from it. Screw their customers with no notice...get award for Program of the Year a few weeks later. Handed to them (awkwardly?) by Gary Leff. :eek:

Unfortunate timing.
