Star MegaDo 4 Bookings Open July 9

Share with a friend

Mark your calendars because the Star MegaDo 4 bookings open July 9th.  If you’re asking, “What is a Star MegaDo?” then you’re in luck because you’re about to find out.

A MegaDo is “a once-in-a-lifetime field trip for the world’s ULTIMATE travel junkies.”

A chartered plane where:

1) All the passengers are mileage/point junkies (and a few plus ones who were brought kicking and screaming along), airline and hotel executives, and media.

2) Where you can spend hours after hours talking miles/points with someone:

a) who is just like you

b) who won’t think you’re insane

c) who won’t be frantically pushing the call button, looking for an escape another seat (Ok, maybe, but on the MegaDo, it’s my understanding that there isn’t a lot of sitting in your seats. It’s more a party in skies, stand in the aisles thing.)

d) who you might learn a thing or two about free stopovers, fuel dumps, and other travel hacks

3) Where the destination doesn’t matter, only the journey.

This year’s MegaDo, Star MegaDo 4 is scheduled for November 13 – 16, 2012 with an optional day, Giddy Up Day on November 17, 2012.  And yes, it is months away, but you need to clear your calendar because come July 9th, when tickets go on sale, you need to be at your computer, ready to book immediately.

Last year’s MegaDo, the OneWorld MegaDo, sold out in 17 minutes.  Holy Cow, Batman.  17 minutes.  I’m sure you’re thinking,
