I know this is absolute nerdspeak, and perhaps outside of FT I might be slapped down, but this is the only place I am comfortable expressing these thoughts.

Have anyone actually impressed their girlfriends/wives/significant others with FFP redemptions? I'm gonna pull off a two-stop holiday of UK and a scandinavian country using AM for my girlfriend and she is really impressed. The itinerary is perfect and compatability of flight dates to our work schedules are to kill for.

We wouldn't think about this routing had not for AM reasons, but actually I would actually happily pay to do the routing now instead of flying direct.

I think you can guess my routing; however, I think my girlfriend knows how to use Google and probably knows I do FT so I better not give her too many keywords.

Of course it's my first time doing this for her. I think the thrill factor will wear off in the future. Or will it?
