Hi Everyone.

I've been on FT for almost 2 years now and fell that I must introduce myself.

All my travel is leisure based and its mainly LHR-LAS.

I joined UA MP just over 3 years ago and built up a few miles and then *somehow* decided it wasn't worth collecting them and sticking to the same airline.
How wrong I was!!!
I discovered FT a few months after that thought and everything changed!!

Not long after I got a new job (an IT Trainer) that takes me all over the UK and Ireland, and bits of Europe.

Picking up on collecting miles and points I stuck with UA (making Premier for the first time) and Platinum in Priority Club.

Things got even better from there, with me taking my first ever TATL flight in C (thanks to info off FT), and even managed to takes my Mom in C to LAS.

FT paid off once more with me getting Royal Ambassador in Priority Club this year, and also making Premier Executive on UA (even though I've only flown 17K miles this year!).

More about me ... I'm 27, single and virtually live in hotels due to my job. I estimate I'll stay about 200 nights away this year from home. (And that's going easy!!).

I Love flying and all aspects of it.
My last international flight was LHR-IAD-BOS, where I got a Travelzoo rate at IC Boston.
Asked by a friend why I went there, I replied 'Because it got me 1P on UA, more miles on UA, plus points in PC, and on my way to RA'.
Needless to say he looked at me with a confused face.
It was worth it to me!!

Next Trip: LHR-SFO-LAS (Sep19th) ... Cant wait!!!! - Once again, thanks to FT (Savage25), I'm riding in C all the way there and back.

Next planned Trip: Not quite sure, but planning to burn all my miles on a trip to Japan/Asia/Thailand somewhere for me and Mom.

Have met a couple of FT'ers out on their travels and want to meet some more!!

Happy travels, and once again, thanks FT ... I'd still be riding in Y TATL, and having to pay for the mini bar at IC's if it wasn't for you all!!!!
