SkyTeam Megado in May ‘18
 
Looks like the Long-promised third-tier alliance’s megado will happen in 2018. So far just an email list signup: https://skyteam.megado.com/

It is a combined US / Europe trip I believe with events on both continents, albeit with the option of just doing one leg.

I have done two MegaDos and they are good events if you like the sound of the individual components. Full credit to the organisers because it isn't easy.

Sounds great guys, thanks for putting something like this together, sounds interesting.

Well I did some poking around and found bupkis. Just the note on the site.

Although it was a bit depressing poking around MilePoint/Inside Flyer. Looks like the site averages under a post a day. :o

The owner/operators/minions of the MegaDo/FTU franchise are no longer associated with the MP/IF complex and have not appeared/posted there since 4-6 months....@:-)

I get leaving it to go fallow, but isn't Tommy a 'co-founder'? Is that a revocable association!? :o

Looks like October with booking opening up this week. This the best place for a discussion or is it going on somewhere else that I couldn’t seem to find? I really want to go but I’m sad only a few hours in Prague and I’m trying to figure out return (USA) bound options that fit with their negotiated rate. Would like angle flat at least.

SEA-AMS-Prague (day) -Mallorca (day)-Finish Barcelona single day event before conclusion.

As compared to early MegaDos, not particularly interesting or appealing. And the benefits are substantially less (I remember when Hyatt Diamond status was a MegaDo benefit. It kept me hooked on Hyatt for several years).

Looks pretty good. Kind of off-brands, but no luggage factory tours either. ;)

Interesting they are offering a few perks for booking business class too. The value prop is hard to justify on an intra-euro 737 otherwise.

Wonder what ‘SkyTeam Elite Plus through 2019’ means?

Does that mean it expires 31/12/18 (so 10 weeks) or 31/12/19?

I think it reasonably means the end of 19’ but it doesn’t me upgraded and IIRC doesn’t get lounge access unless on an intl ticket.

Agreed. Biz seems silly since if I understand correctly they are the same seats just with middle seat blocked and upfront? Maybe a little recline. Kinda hard to tell but they seem to be convertible seats between “coach” and “business.” What will determine my attendance is a reasonable return flight from EU to USA in Biz or F and hopefully a friend or two commit to going as well.
