One day I did a search and found this weird website called "Flyertalk".Since then I have done 3 mileage runs out of pure insanity.

My First one was a 48 segment Air Canada promotion back in the late 90's. I flew from Toronto to London, Ontario 24 times and was rewarded with two business class tickets anywhere Lufthansa, United or Air Canada flew. (I flew my new wife to Singapore and open Jawed back from Australia).

Second, I did the One Million Mile LatinPass promotion and now I have lifetime unlimited access to the armpits of Bogota, Managua and Iquitos!!!!

Third, I picked a cheap $999 Canadian dollar round trip ticket from Toronto to Sydney and got something like 55,000 miles in return because of a double promo and status bonus.

Finally, I picked up a ticket from Europe to Australia on Estonian Air and Qantas for $373 based solely on information from a guy named "Spider" who crawls around these boards. I think I need a good stiff drink to shake me to my senses. What am I going to do in Estonia? I can only come to one conclusion, HAVE A VODKA and chaulk it all up to LIFE IN FLYERTALK. I could probably bring some homemade CORNFLAKE THINGS (AADvantage promotion I also heard on Flyertalk) to Estonia for a possible Estonian Cornflake party!

I'll be in Tallinn June 22,23. Anyone want to get together and laugh at our sick addiction to flyertalk?
