Star Alliance Mega Do

A ton more Star MegaDo videos

Sure, it has taken way longer than it probably should have, but I’ve finally managed to get a bunch more videos uploaded.  These are mostly from the presentation on Friday from Thierry Antinori, Lufthansa’s Executive Vice President Marketing & Sales and Member of the Executive Board though the first one is the opening greeting from [...]

Help check presentation of the Alliance

Plane spotting at Toulouse

What great fun to be at the factory and see the planes from so many carriers all in one place.  And there were plenty to be seen.  Check out some of these beauties: This is the plane we were touring in all day: Not all the planes on the ground were Airbus, but they were [...]

During the course of the OSL-TLS flight, and the first part of the TLS-FRA flight we sold 1887 raffle tickets. [...]
