BoardingArea is giving away two seats on the upcoming Star MegaDO 4. And the winners will even have their hotel accommodations paid for plus a little spending money as well.
It’s the ultimate frequent flyer adventure. Join a couple hundred of your newest frequent flyer enthusiast friends, meeting with airline executives, getting behind the scenes tours, bringing home amazing souvenirs and memories, and earning bonus elite qualifying miles in the MileagePlus program along the way.
Details of the program were released at the launch party. The event will begin the evening of Tuesday, November 13 in San Francisco. Wednesday flies San Francisco to Houston on the charter, a newly refurbished 767-400. Thursday is Houston to Chicago. And there’ll be plenty of United senior managers involved, other Star Alliance partners in San Francisco, and a whole bunch of major surprises along the way.
Here are official hotel details. Hyatt is a sponsor, and there’s a Hyatt Gold Passport promotion as part of the MegaDO. And there’s an optional Cowboy Day at the end of the MegaDO in Chicago.
For more information on the event, here is Milepoint’s forum for Star MegaDO 4.
January’s oneworld MegaDO was featured on the front page of the business section of USA Today and also in an Associated Press story that hit about 70 papers. Top media are ticketed for this event as well.

So to enter, Are you excited for United’s new 787? And if so, why?
And to be clear, this question is just based on ‘what’s new at United’, the airline we’re working with on the charter.
Good luck, and giddy up!
Extremely excited awaiting United’s 787’s. The 787 will usher in a new era for United with new and state of the aircraft.
Like a new car! The newer the better!
Yes, for the automated window shades and size of the windows, and curvature of the wings.
I just love to fly places on lovely planes!
What’s new is that United is making history by being the North American launch customer for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. I want to go because I want to be part of history!
A Newbie, would like to experience MegaDO
Yes because it’s a great aircraft!
I am excited about the 787 coming to UA as this will be USA first new Boeing model for a legacy carrier. The fuel savings alone will help fill in the gaps that the 777 planes can not service, profits will then increase!
Yes, because I have never had an opportunity to fly on a truly new airplane.
Such an AMAZING plane! I have been looking forward to flying on this plane.
Yes as I’ve never flown it 🙂
Ya for 787 since it is so new!
Yes, because of the interesting temporary domestic roll-out!
Yes – because United will be able to fly to more international destinations
Of course… it’s new. So must still have that new plane smell!
Yes, because I love that new plane smell.
The self-shading windows are too cool (got to try them out on the JAL NRT-BOS flight).
Absolutely, I am glad to see United being the first US carrier to get this state of the art airplane with all its innovations. I’ve already booked myself on it to get to FTU!
Yes, because I can’t wait to see if the lower cabin altitude and the bigger windows make a difference
Yes, because I have not flown the 787 yet.
yep, excited by the increased pressurization and higher humidity. can’t wait to fly it.
new one is almost the best
Excited for giant windows
Yes because more humidity means my hair stays curly.
Quieter ride, more light. Maybe even new seat clamps.
To check out the windows and smell of something new. Can hardly wait.
cleaner cabin air! yay HEPA filters!
I’d like to go!
My cousin worked at Boeing and said that the plane was the best ever–what a thrill it would be to ride it!
No, because United chose to pack people in 9 across like sardine cans.
Yes, I like the new pressurized cabin!
Excited – nothing like that new plane smell !!!
Yes, because some of them are built in my hometown of Charleston, SC. I’ve never flown a plane before where I knew some of the people who helped build it!
yes, i love new planes and look foward to breathing the clean air!
Yes. It’s been a long time since United added a new aircraft type and this one seems to be really advanced.
