I think I've racked up more Young Discoverer's club miles than Club Miles...anyone else here an ex-member?

Racking up Young Discoverer's presents was so simple back then...you just go up to Swire House and select what u want from their catalogue. I remember for one thing, the FAs don't check whether you're travelling on a cheapass package tour tix or a full on Y.

OK, no OW earning, so if I got booted by my Mum on Qantas (when flights are tight), no luck.

I wasn't able to persuade my parents to take me on a MR back then (much less let me travel UM!) tho I did succeed in nagging them to take me out of school for a week to go see my brother for his birthday (who I haven't seen for years).
