there should be a sub-forum for the Mileage Run forum that would allow people to make plans with potential Flying Bluddies.


with so many people out of work or working reduced hours and so many good deals available, it would be neat to go to the Mileage Run forum, see a good fare mistake or a significant sale... solicit interest of who'd be keen on flying that route on what dates, and boom... book it to organize a trip with a Travel Buddy. Potentially more fun than flying alone, and the originating point of flying wouldn't even have to be the same airport. People can meet up at a connecting airport, or at the final destination. No strings attached.


This year I've done over 100k paid miles flown around Australia and Southeast Asia... most of it alone... and would loved to have a Travel/Flying Buddy for more of these trips. Bundy Bear and I did go on a trip to Bundaberg, Queensland together and that was simply awesome. Got to tour the rum distillery, check out the local scene and have a bunch of FT type discussions. Time flew by quickly.



I realize I went off on a tangent here...
