for as long as i can remember i flew long haul with my parents between india & the us atleast twice a year....we used to fly ai initially & then at some point switched to ba....

my father opened up a ff account for me on both airlines but i had no clue how many miles i had....when i was going off to college he gave me my account details & ever since then i was hooked....when i started working i had a decent amount of travel which has only increased as the years went by....

now i'm on the road at least 15 days in a month & have been racking up miles from even before i was aware such a thing existed....
