Oct 2nd-5th is good for me also.
Regarding the fares, I see Orbitz has a really good SK Economy fare ARN-ORD for those dates, $622 a/i. K-class, so it will probably not be popular among the participants
but it's still good value, perhaps better than SK can offer even?
Only cheaper fare I see is DL at about $550 return, but let's not even go there..
Orbitz SAS Z-class is $3704 a/i, also via CPH.
LX also has similar C-prices in the $3700 range for ARN-ORD, but the timing doesn't work as it leaves ZRH at 12.55 PM.
Hopefully SK will offer something better this time!

Please count me in to "the whole package". I have also to say it is depending on the dates, but early October sounds right for now :-)
Good job here guys - looking forward to get on my first DO.
Br,

The DO main event is now full.
If you haven't already e-mailed me, please confirm your spot as soon as you can. If you are not on the list, I will put you on the standby list.
The dialog with SAS is in motion. Rest assured, the same people who arranged the 2005 DO are the people at SAS I'm speaking with.
I also added Toronto to our DO schedule ! This means we will visit 4 airlines this DO. If that's too much for some of you, let me know. I will get prices from AC, LH, SK and CO (for the US domestic parts)
Preliminary DO program suggestion:
Wednesday night: Pre DO drinks at Radisson SAS Sky City. I will arrange a great discount like we did last time.
Thursday
0800 We all gather at the balcony outside the SAS Sky City
0815 Visit to the STS maintenance base
1000 Visit to SAS Flight Academy
1230 Lunch and meeting with Eurobonus, SKSE and SAS International
1520 SK 527 ARN-LHR
1900 AC 859 LHR-YYZ
Friday
0830 Visit to ACs home base at YYZ
1235 AC 505 YYZ-ORD
1430 Visit to UAs home base at ORD
2000 DO dinner in Chicago
Saturday
0740 CO 347 ORD-IAH
Full CO tour of all their facilities. This will be a great day!
2000 DO dinner in Houston
Sunday
Open day, visit to Nasa, private plane trips for interested
1157 CO 2613 IAH-ORD
1625 SK 946 ORD-ARN
I will stay till Monday morning, if someone cares to join me, we can delay the return one day
