Biggest hurdle is everyone getting award seats on the same day

We might be able to reach out to an airline, like the MegaDOs. I realize that this isn't even close to that, but maybe a group booking dept could work something out. It is after all their most profitable program (awards)

If you can figure out a way to get 18k A3 for the flight, you can sell out a Y-only A380 in 5 minutes.

I've been thinking. This forum is full of people with tons of knowledge about different places and a love of travel. Sometimes it's really difficult to go places with just you or your family but maybe people can arrange a trip to somewhere exotic (like Madagascar) that you'd never be able to arrange by yourself and go with with a bunch of DDers.

Things like kosher food would be a lot easier to work out as will shuttle services etc..

Just a thought
Off the fly I can think of a few things I would like to do:
  • (As mentioned) an Antarctica cruise
  • A trek in the Himalayas (Everest Base Camp or -easier to arrange, Anapurna)
  • An African Safari

Of the 3 I'm guessing #1 is the easiest to pull off, and the only one I have hope of bringing the wife and kid along for.

1. I misread. I thought you meant I would sell out the Y part in 5 minutes
2. EK wont get you 18k on A3

I meant as a charter, you can agree anything you want with A3

Anyway, I didn't mean A380 literally.

I'd be game for 1 or 3.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
