Y Guru Sedd
Mae yna ychydig o wynebau newydd ar yr ail rownd go-o Mega Seren EI WNEUD, ac un fydd yn digwydd i berthyn i Matt Daimler, a.k.a Phatteus, a sefydlodd Seatguru.com bron i ddegawd yn ôl. “Dechreuodd yn 2001 fel un awyren, gydag un map,” meddai, ac nad oedd llawer mwy na hobi hyd nes y dechreuodd refeniw Google AdSense droi i mewn i tua busnes go iawn 2004. Gwerthodd y safle i Expedia yn 2007 (heddiw yn dweud ei gerdyn “Sylfaenydd” ac mae ei rôl yn effeithiol efengylwr) a ei ddymuniad ar hyn o bryd yw gweld Seatguru fapiau hymgorffori yn y apps iPhone mwyaf poblogaidd fel Hedfan Tracker.
Mae'n dal yn adrodd hanes ddysgu sut mae'r dosbarthiadau pris yn gweithio. Er bod teithio gyda tua ffrind 1996, eu hedfan ei ganslo ac y cwmni hedfan ei gorfodi i aildrefnu'r nhw ar un arall cludwr, rhoi talebau papur i wneud hynny. Gweld “Y” ysgrifenedig ar y daleb, Matt ffrind gofynnwyd beth oedd yn ei olygu. Gwybod “Y” hyfforddwr yn golygu a “F” oedd yn ofynnol ei rebooked yn gyntaf, ei ffrind penderfynodd atgyweiria bod. Gan ddefnyddio pen, eA ddoctora y “Y” i mewn i “F.” Ac mae'n gweithio.
Star Alliance solicits suggestions from FlyerTalk members – USATODAY.com

Ever wonder what Star Alliance’s headquarters looks like?
Many people on the FlyerTalk “Mega Do” frequent-flier trip did, and dozens stopped to snap photos of the Star Alliance map and logo (seen here) at the group’s headquarters near the Frankfurt Airport earlier today.
That came as several dozen FlyerTalk members met with Star Alliance officials today in Frankfurt as the world’s largest frequent-flier group solicited their feedback on potential future products.
Star Alliance CEO Jaan Albrecht was on hand to address the group, thanking them for their loyalty to the alliance and its carriers.
Star Alliance members traveled from as far as Hawaii and Australia for the “Mega Do” digwyddiad, which is affiliated with FlyerTalk and gave the travelers access to Star’s top executives. The MegaDo trip began in New York and will continue on to Houston, Phoenix and the Seattle area by Friday evening.
“I think the access [to alliance and airline executives] is pretty incredible,” a FlyerTalk member from Australia told me.
Star Alliance officials invited the FlyerTalk members to participate in a series of workshops in which the “FlyerTalkers” where encouraged to give their feedback on products the alliance is considering adding in the future.

Today in the Sky schedule update
By Ben Mutzabaugh, USA TODAY
I’m traveling this week with the “Star Mega Do,” a FlyerTalk-affiliated gathering that includes some of the most dedicated frequent-flier enthusiasts from across the globe. In this particular case, the trip is focused on the Star Alliance carriers.
Today I’m coming to you from Frankfurt, where I’ll be meeting with both Lufthansa and Star Alliance officials later today.
On Wednesday, the group changes location to Houston, where I’ll be on hand to cover the first annual Frequent Traveler Awards ceremony on Thursday. Also while I’m in Houston, I hope to get time with some of United’s executives for an update of what’s going on at United and Continental.
