Welcome to FT, nasshea. As you can see, this is a big community. We have close to 50,000 members in all continents plus many, many areas and parts of FlyerTalk. Our advice would be to look over all the parts to see what is discussed where and how and read the "help" portion of this site. Don't hesitate asking for assistance from any of the moderators or long-timers here as we recall that we were all new once ourselves to frequent travel and FlyerTalk. Enjoy! Ocn Vw 1K, Co-Moderator.
