when I was a kid, I got really excited every time I flew with my family. The check in counter, the safety video(believe it or not I still watch it for the zillionth time), the cheap plastic cup, etc. that was a old good time
I love beating the system. It is in my blood. I want to get the big bangs for my bucks. I started having long haul distance flight since 15. I got disappointed with US domestic flights quality so I was with the EVA airlines at first( they have one of the best truly premium economy class!). Later when I discovered flyertalk 4 months ago, I found how to maximize the value of points.
I had my very first MR on September, continue with 2 MRs last week. I have 2 more at the end of the year. Being in college and doing MRs at the same time is tough though. lack of money and time are always the problems.
I'm my way to my OZ Diamond *G at the end of the year (for lounge access) and I'm shooting for CO Platinum next year. Not bad for 4 months of being a newbie I guess
I have a long, long way to go...
Happy flying!
