Welcome to FlyerTalk!

Only you can judge how much of a risk you're willing to take of arrival before flights, but if you travel that much you'll be elite before long and will be waiting in lounges, so can get more work done.

Normally flights need to be booked individually. Certain routes and carriers have special offers for very frequent users, such as "Routepass".

No idea about the last two as I've not done it.
