Best Airlines Loyalty Programs - Vote now! (Mega Awards)
The Mega Awards being held in Montreal next week will honor the best airline loyalty programs, and the voting is now open for the "People's Choice" category.
So I'd invite you to vote now here: http://www.airlineinformation.org/AI...ards_live.html
The awards will be presented by Freddie Laker Jr. himself!
How many of you Flyertalkers coming to Montreal?

I'm guessing... none of us.
How did you arrive at the list of nominees for these awards, which represent a small (and hardly most prominent or obvious) subset of the possibilities? Are they clients of your consultancy?
I've never heard of the "Mega Awards," and I try to keep up.

I don't know what his (apparent) son does or is up to, but the name should open some doors.

The Mega Awards are indeed new, and they come together with the Mega Event, which is an established Airline Information conference about FFP and other topics.

The airlines in the list have self-nominated themselves in the past months by applying on the Airline Information website.

Welcome from me also. At this point there would be many more contenders for worst program than best. You could also have sub-categories for:
** Steepest decline
** Most difficult redemption
** Most meaningless elite tiers
I doubt your airline clients would like it very much but you'd get more press this way. Skytrax, Conde Nast Traveler and the former Freddies are already so prominent in this arena, it's hard to see what value another similar award program brings. A negative one, however, makes you the Razzies vs. the Oscars: guaranteed press.
