I haven't yet shared with too many people that I recently went on a Frequent Flyer / Airplane Geek's dream trip to the USA and Europe to tour airports, airplanes, the Airbus Factory and Airline Operations centers with 200+ of my closest friends (that I had never met before). This Trip was called the Star Mega Do, in reference to the fact that we were being hosted by four members of the Star Alliance on this trip.
I will be sharing more of my experiences over the days and weeks to come, but I wanted to share with everyone, one aspect of the trip that was kind of neat.
In addition to a crew from CNN, a Documentary Film Maker, and a Writer from Condé Nast Traveler Magazine, one of the people along on this trip, was Scott McCartney from the Wall Street Journal. He was a thoroughly enjoyable guy to spend some time with over the four days of this trip, and he wrote a great article entitled "A Travel Junkie Field Trip" which summed up what this trip was all about.
And hey, he even quoted me in the article...
Darren Mak, a self-employed Web-site designer, loves flying so much he looks for far-flung itineraries instead of direct flights to plump up mileage balances.
