We should connect carriers via non-ST hubs just for kicks... eg DL US-LHR, then AF LHR-CDG-BKK, then KE BKK-ICN-etc or something.

I'd prefer to stick with the large ST hubs. New airlines would be fun, but would be more interested in seeing the "nuts and bolts" of the alliance (DL, AF/KL, KE---ATL/AMS/CDG/ICN).
Or maybe ATL-JFK (tour new terminal 4)-CDG (380)-AMS-ICN (KL)-JFK (KE). Does KE plan to put the 380 on the JFK route?

I too agree with the main stops and maybe throw in a new airline if we can. The Bali idea I particularly like. It all comes down to time available. I would like to keep it around a week at most.

The 380 is already on the route for JFK-ICN. I want to fly it since the entire upper deck is biz class and has a bar/lounge in it!

Would be fabulous to fly out of and into JFK on two ST 380s.

Sign me up! But I say we time the Do with the day SV joins. It is set for spring 2012, right?
That way we can hold the Do at RUH and no women can come. What? Women don't come to these things anyways? Oh.

Might as well just have it in Hong Kong during the Asian Aerospace.
Most airlines should have some presence there.
Not sure how it would work but I guess it is something worth thinking about.

No SkyTeam MegaDo?
I've seen a lot written on FT and other sites about a "hopeful" SkyTeam MegaDo....anything definitive that I've missed? Never attended anything like this, but sounds awesome!
Any other SkyTeam/DL loyalists looking at jumping on board with the just-announced OneWorld MegaDo? The learning/social experience sounds good, and so do the potential "benefits"...especially if nothing will be sponsored anytime soon by ST/DL.
