I'm a Manhattanite who lives to travel. All of my travel is personal and I always book the cheapest fare available. I've accrued 1.6 million miles into my AAdvantage account which I opened in December 1983.

As most of my travel is International, I've found that it's a good idea to dress nicely, smile politely, and be NICE. I've had a pretty good average of getting comp upgrades (to biz). Traveling domestically I upgrade with my stickers, but only if a snack or meal is being served.

I'm realtively new to the this, but have enjoyed eavesdropping for the past few months and have posted to this thread on the urging of my friend in Dallas, TrAAveller.
