The BA Super Travellers
 
Article in this month's The Club:

http://theclub.ba.com/november-2017/...er-travellers/

Out of the 5 people featured, only one is GGL and one is the famed TP runner. Thought they would have been able to find some travellers with more insane travel patterns?

Really nothing much of interest. Some of them are not exactly that frequent flyers in terms of BA, including the one who’s Blue. There is little detail about their travels and would prefer to read some of the trip reports on here.

Not really surprising given that most of them are full-time "Travel Bloggers"

It's out-and-out marketing fluff, not entirely unexpected. I'd imagine that for many people doing an awful lot of miles the reality is rather dull and mundane.

Travel bloggers though, ten a penny these days. Otherwise known as what-can-I-write-about-to-blag-stuff-for-free.

It's full of nuggets of wisdom such as "Top travel tip: Have an idea of the things you want to do, see and try before you arrive – it’ll save you time."

Gosh. My life is now complete. :rolleyes:

"Best thing about being an Executive Club Member? It gives me a sense of belonging. As soon as I enter a BA lounge anywhere in the world, I feel at home."

That must have been subject to some crafty editing. Surely no one, not even a GGL member, would actually come out with something like that - at least not in public!

I can't wait to be barged out the way in the Priority queue at the gate by someone shouting 'EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME. I'M A SUPER TRAVELLER'.

Seems as though a lot of people seem to think it’s an easy way to make a living these days. Yet most of these blogs are full of the same old information coupled with a trip report where every flight is amazing.

I wonder what his home is like.

Mice roaming free, constant flooding in the kitchen, people loading the contents of his fridge into backpacks etc. :D

Articles like this one aren't my cup of tea but there's always something interesting to read.
