The great Star Airbus DO, Nov. 5th and 6th
 
All,

Well, it started out with me planning the yearly SAS DO, but if you read through this thread, you will see an amazing development, if you don't feel like browsing through this monster, here's the short version.

Flyertalk in cooperation with Lufthansa presents:
The first annual Star Alliance DO!

Join us for a once in a lifetime experience, including the first Flyertalk chartered flights on a Lufthansa widebody!

On this flights the Flight Attendants will actually be there for your safety only. Your servers on board will be your Flyertalk Moderator Crew lead by Purser Randy Petersen. The catering and service on board will be nothing like you have ever experienced on an aircraft before. That is a promise.

Also
- Welcoming CO to the Star Alliance
- Visit the Airbus factory and take a look at the Airbus A380
- Visit Scandinavian Airlines in Oslo and Stockholm
- Visit Lufthansa's home in Frankfurt

PS!! Everyone is welcome!!

Keeping this post open for later use

larsll Jan 8, 2009 12:58 pm

Subject to date and availability I am in!

Of course me as well, it'll be nice to see everyone again!

Blubird Jan 8, 2009 1:12 pm

Definitely up for OSL-TLS and onwards, but like the above subject to date, cost etc. etc. Guess I'll be seeing some future info on this in the Scanair-village... ;)

ramo Jan 8, 2009 1:12 pm

We are starting early this year and yes, I'm planning to top the DO from last year!! ^^

That is a feat I want to see... count me in as well, subject to availability of course.

vysean Jan 8, 2009 1:16 pm

Any idea on the dates, or even the month?

I'd love to attend, and will be over there at least twice in the fall...

I would say late Oktober/early November ;)

PS! The list above is for people who want to participate, pending price and dates. If you want me to put you on it, please post it here

tommy777 Jan 8, 2009 1:27 pm

Does anyone remember how much it cost to rent the VIP terminal at ARN?

martinfoss Jan 8, 2009 1:51 pm

Sounds like fun.

Put me on the list, Tommy!

SK_RSJ Jan 8, 2009 2:17 pm

Who will act as the GA handling upgrades; Tommy or Oliver?
If this is happening I am in obviously. :p

I will be the purser onboard. No gates here, Oliver will be the VIP guide for the passengers in (name pending) class. Maybe the back of the bus should be called Guantanamo class ;):D

ErasmusEBS Jan 8, 2009 2:29 pm

Though I am afraid the price tag on this one will be way above my budget, I would definitely give it some serious though. So, while awaiting more info, please count me in!

tommy777 Jan 8, 2009 2:36 pm

Seriously, folks. This will be a lot cheaper than you think!!

ramo Jan 8, 2009 2:37 pm

Do we get the orange overalls as well? :D

herro Jan 8, 2009 2:52 pm

Hi,

I am totally ready for this. Please sign me for this DO. CPH will be my guess for Pick Up.

/HerrO

kjsaw Jan 8, 2009 2:53 pm

Sounds awesome. I'd like to hear more! It has been a long time since my mini-do on the A319.

The price list is here: http://www.arlanda.se/en/Business--s...ce/Price-list/

Wasn't it 50% for EBG when we had the ARN do ;)?

Blubird Jan 8, 2009 3:19 pm

Preferred pickup would be OSL, alt. RYG! :)

Robbiedeluxe Jan 8, 2009 3:21 pm

Yep, the city of mayhem.

Richey66 Jan 8, 2009 3:47 pm

I am in! How many people should we get together to make it reasonable?

gnaget Jan 8, 2009 3:48 pm

I am in. Preferred pick up airport is ARN or maybe CPH.

tommy777 Jan 8, 2009 3:50 pm

We're almost half way there!

jobi Jan 8, 2009 3:59 pm

I'd love to be in too, departure airport doesn't matter, since I'm not based in Scandinavia :)

OSLflyer Jan 8, 2009 4:19 pm

If I can get away, I'll be in. It's been too long since my last ARN do.

Xyzzy Jan 8, 2009 4:27 pm

I hope I can earn CO EQM on this :p :p :p
Put me down +1 (I'm sure that the fabulous Mrs. Xyzzy would like to come too :p)

Holmion Jan 8, 2009 4:30 pm

I wanna go too
 
Count me in:-)

tommy777 Jan 8, 2009 4:56 pm

By October/November, CO should be fully integrated, so yes!

PS!
After a little chat on the phone, the real Flight attendants will for once be there for your safety only

The moderator crew lead by Randy Petersen will be your servers onboard :)

I won't need CO EQMs but it is always nice to top off the reservoir of *A miles. So, if there is a column for some who are interested but can't commit right now, put my name down and I will start saving my pennies and will pay careful attention to this thread.

sbm12 Jan 8, 2009 4:58 pm

Lacking any other details, I am happy to say I'm in, pending the revelation of said details. :D

korpen Jan 8, 2009 4:59 pm

Me me me! Put me on the list.

tommy777 Jan 8, 2009 5:03 pm

Let me know what size jackets you both are :cool:

view Jan 8, 2009 5:09 pm
