Mega Do: Extreme Fliers, Sponsored by American Airlines
For the 170 possibly deranged members of this years MegaDo group, this is what a perfect vacation looks like: Four flights, five cities and two continents – IN 5 DAYS. The group, which just wrapped its forth annual trip, flew from New York to London, to Dallas/Fort Worth to Seattle before completing the trip in Los Angeles.Â
The trip, sponsored this year by American Airlines and its Oneworld Alliance, included behind the scenes looks a how an airline operates, tours of facilities and aircraft, and even a chance to ride down one plane’s emergency chute. For most of us, flying is a necessity rather than a luxury we look forward to, so the MegaDo crowd provides an interesting look into how the other half lives.
