I just realized I've never really introduced myself in any capacity. :)

I'm Ben, was born in Santa Barbara, CA in the very recent year of 1991. Moved around the Southern California area a bit before settling in Ventura County for my high school years. I've since moved up to Portland, OR for school, but still fly back to California 1-2 times monthly due to various attachments (dentist/doctor appointments, business meetings for my dad's business I help him out on).

Always been fascinated with airplanes. Currently just about to start getting my private pilot's license. Along with that I'm working towards an electrical engineering degree. Once I finish school I'm planning on entering the Air Force as an officer and hopefully landing a pilot position, and maybe some day use that experience to get me a permanent gig in the pointy end of a plane for a commercial carrier.

envious of your career in the automotive industry, wish I could be doing the same instead of sitting on FT unemployed, heh... (sending CV's out)


UA Vacations still owes me 5k miles bonus for a recent NYC-YYC flight, hope I didn't loose it as it never credited.



Loved Malaysia on my visit last year.... Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and Penang were amazing! Be sure to share your knowledge in the Asia forum.

Comments: Been around here for over a year and just found this sticky. Thanks to all who make this such a great place to learn the ropes on maximizing my travel experience!

Until 2 years ago I flew about 15K miles a year. Found FT when I realized I would be flying a bunch in 2009. Wound up flying 135K miles, much more than I thought I would. The things I learned here has made it a pleasurable experience!

Hi Flyer Talk Forums
 

I'm Patrick and I'm an American expat working and living in Cairo, Egypt. My family and I have lived overseas for the past 6 years. We travel to the United States almost every summer to visit family during our summer vacation (2 months) and we travel extensively through the Middle East, SW Asia, and Europe often. We have flown Etihad, American, British Airways, Delta, Lufthansa, Air France and some other low-cost US domestic carriers.
We're about to try KLM this summer for the first time, and would love your input on inflight services and AMS transfers. We have a 2 year old, so traveling with a toddler can be challenging. Your advise on that topic is also welcome!

Welcome Patrick. Check out the KLM forum here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/klm-flying-dutchman-493/

Transiting AMS to Shengen flights at certain times of the day can have very long lines. However if you are going from the Egypt to America and not entering European Shengen countries, you should be OK. Hopefully you will be in business class and have the extra space for your young one.

I'm an AT born half TR enjoying FT for college work and part time profession in the aviation industry - My interests include long-haul travel, photogaphy, media

Browsing thru the forums interlinks both college and work related stuff - and actually makes me wanna become a FF & "just another" mileage runner some day...

Hello everyone,

I am Joe from Dallas. I live not too far away from Love Field and have lived around the area my whole life. I am an aviation enthusiast, pilot and avid traveler (though this college thing and minimum wage job are inhibiting the latter). I love looking up into the sky and seeing an airplane, but I still get a great kick out of seeing an AA silver bullet racing across the sky. I have always enjoyed flying on AA and enjoy their product.
As you can see by my name, I am a huge MD-80 fan and always enjoy the opportunity to fly on them. Flying on an MD-80 takes me back to my childhood, let alone the symphony of sound that the twin JT8D's make, so I am usually the idiot around seats 23A-27A with a huge smile on my face!

I have heard about FT for a long time, so I guess that places me more over on the lurker side of things.
That's about all!

In February 2009, I learned that my grandfather was days away from dying and could I come up to see him one more time in upstate Michigan. Finding no affordable fares to TVC (and with bereavement fares on UA and AA in the $700 range), I decided to burn 50K miles for a RT coach ticket LAX-ORD, from which I had to rent a car and drive nine hours.

At the time, I had 81K miles in my 15-year-old AAdvantage account. To see years of occasional flying on AA just drain away like *that* for a crappy RT ticket that should have cost $200 just made me feel ... like I'd had my passport and cash stolen from my hotel room in Bangalore. Just burned me up inside.

That's when I decided to scour the Web for ways to earn miles at a quicker clip. And that's how I found FT.

And once I found a thread discussing someone's three-day 10-segment long-haul MR, I was hooked. THIS, I said, is for ME!

A month later, AA ran the first of its two 2xEQM promotions, and in August I attended Viajero Joven's PHX MR seminar, where I met 60-odd other odd souls who claimed to be as passionate (er, hooked) as I thought I was. And so I just ramped up from there, committing myself not only to being Exec Platinum for as long as I could swing it, but also to becoming a more well-rounded and -seasoned traveler.

I'm looking forward to meeting more of you at the Chicago DO in October.

Cheers,
Aaron

EDIT: I think the OP wanted us to mention hobbies, so ... I travel to find great and interesting food and wine. Architecture would next, followed by museums and "walkability." I love walkable cities. I find it alternately amusing and frustrating that concierges, travel guides, and people on the street tell you that something more than 10 minutes away is too far to walk.
