Conde Nast Traveller, perhaps?
I think I saw a reference to this site in a Conde Nast 'Traveller' magazine a few years back. I've been lurking and learning ever since. Now, if I could only change jobs so that I could apply some of this....

I read about FT in USA Today and am glad I checked it out. :cool:
|
JohnnyJet.com !!!!
|
I used to read on airliners.net and someone mentioned a CX trip report was worthy of the more mature audience on flyertalk. Just had to check it out....
|
Add me to the google camp :)

My best friend told me about it. Sorry to reduce Flyertlak to a halitosis commercial but that is how it was.
I lurked for quite a time and then came out. There was no going back. Now I am hopelessly, helplessly, utterly addicted. I believe that there is no known cure! |
I read a story about FT and had to look it up. I read everything I can to learn more about travel, miles and more. I lurked for a long time before I felt I could really add something to the forums and/or ask questions. I started reading at the top of the list with Miles & More, then Travel & Dining and the extras on the site. Just recently I started reading Community and was surprised to learn about coupons and the fact I had no access or to Onmi. It was ok as there is so many others thing to find on FT.
In my circle of friends, I am the knowledgeable person about the hotel programs and travel but I know I have so much to learn. I am still a novice and keep learning everyday from FT. I have been so excited that this year I might make elite at NW. If I had known about FT several years ago, I would have been elite by now. Thanks for all the great info. |
To be honest, FlyerTalk found out about me rather than the other way around and had been talking about me for quite some time before I knew anything about it. I picked up the FT thread in a Google search and decided to jump in and I've been here ever since.
|
FT was mentioned 6 mos/ ago in a WSJ article. I've been a lurker/participant ever since.
|
I was taking to a fellow passenger on a flight back in September of 2001. The passenger was not a member but had heard of FT somewhere and we talked about FT. I left for a while because of some curt responses to a thread I created. I returned in November 2002 under a new identity because I forgot my original identity and password. :eek:
I have come to appreciate FT for the people that comprise the community and the information that is passed along. FT is a great site and I appreciate the people here. ^ |
I was doing some keyword search on google in regards to air travel and the search engine returned with a FT discussion thread. So from there I went.
|
I was also searching for some trip related info on google and stumbled across flyertalk. Lurked for a while and then joined in with the great crowd of this forum.
|
A friend and I were younger fliers working on becoming frequent fliers and worked together on various ways to accumulate more miles and assorted bonus stuff, though I have to admit we were only moderately successful compared to some of the hard-core FTers. He got the SmarterLiving (now SmarterTravel) newsletters and sent me one of them for something that affected me (I flew US, he flew AA) and from there I signed up for their newsletters. They frequently have links to FT threads in the newsletters, and that's how I first ran into some FT threads.
