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!
Yep, haven’t flywn it yet and curious if it loves up to the hype
In grneral, all new planes are exciting because its normally a new technology coming but, most importantly, i am excited for united but also for all airlines in general that choosed this plane because of the save in fuel it bring so, its enironnementaly friendly.
Yes! Because the magic of flight never gets old and seeing United’s new 787 in action just makes it even better!
I am really curious about the new windows on the 787.
You bet! Because we finally have that gorgeous piece of metal with an American carrier!
Of course, because new, shiny metal is one of my favorite things!
Yes, I didn’t know United was getting a 787. Very cool!
Absolutely, I like fancy new planes!
Yes! Gotta try that “lower altitude” flying.
I love nice new planes! Can’t wait to fly this one!!
Not really, no.
Love shiny new things!
Yes and no. Yes its new and has features that are cool (pressurization) but also i don’t fly those routes often. Now if the new 737Max or A320neo … that’s a different story
Yes, because it’s sleek and gorgeous!
New modern aircraft is always exciting
Yes, absolutely. American carriers need to at least try to keep up with the rest of the world, and the 787 gives United at least a chance.
Yep – I’m a sucker for shiny new planes
Very excited! The vastly improved fuel efficiency of the new 787 is very impressive.
United’s new 787 makes me get excited! I am retired and travel a lot abroad, so I’m dreaming about a quiet, comfortable and relaxing flight on the 787 with United.
No, not when when they’re using the exact same average-at-best seats as a PMCO 777 but in a smaller airframe
always want to try a new aircraft
yes. I am altitude sensitive, so I look forward to the more comfortable ride.
Yes, always fun to try a new aircraft.
Can’t wait to experience the new Sky interior!
Yes, if for no other reason than the lower pressure and larger windows.
Yes, because some of the 787’s are built in SC.
Yes. I’m looking forward to flying new routes from the US to other parts of the world.
Nope – I don’t often fly United.
No.
I’m such a plane geek. And to chitchat with the Pete just tops it off!
Yes, another good reason to be a UA flyer out of Houston! (It looked great hanging out at the maintenance stand this weekend too!)
I’m always excited by new metal.
I’m excited about it because of the Carbon Fiber, and because it’s pressurized to 6000 feet instead of 8000 feet!
Yes, Always excited to fly a new plane type!
It’s the latest technology and style.
Im excited because its the latest and greatest.
No.
gotta go with brand, spanking new
I’m excited about UA’s new 787 basically because it is new … an airplane with the latest technology, and passenger-oriented features.
Yes; in part because it is new and I’ve never been on one before, but also because I am intrigued by the enhancements designed to make flying better and if they work, I hope to see them on other planes as well!
I can’t wait to fly on the 787 because its Boeing s best and its Made in USA.
Very excited about the in cabin enhancements, bit more humidity and lower pressure!
Yes, I want to check out the new cabin pressure system
How can you not be excited about a new plane?? Yes I would love to fly it.. It would be cool to fly in and out of Denver at a pressurized altitude less then what I live at.
Both, yes…because its a 787, no because I almost always fly AA. Overall I guess I am a no. 🙁
MOST DEFINITELY!!
HUGE SPACIOUS PLANE WITH FUEL EFFICIENT SYSTEM AND CLEANER AIR FILTERS..I’D LOVE TO GO TO THE CARIBBEAN IN THE NEW QUIETER CABIN AND BE A PART OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMING PLANE..
Yes, excited to lower my carbon footprint. Now if all the hypocrites like George Clooney would follow suit and fly United instead of their own private jets…
Don’t know enough about it to be excited
Larger windows to help you get over the sensation that you’re stuck inside a can of sardines 🙂
