I signed up here because of what I saw on CNN too. I was really amazed and I love to travel myself. I don't travel too often because it's so expensive and I'm just a poor student. The lawyer woman said that you don't have to be rich to do this though. I've been reading through the forums all day and I signed up for Miles&More at Lufthansa as well. Still I have no idea how to earn a lot of miles, travel a lot etc. without spending too much money. Anybody care to help a newbie out?
