Welcome to FlyerTalk! It's a great community with loads of travel information for all comers. Be sure to browse the various forums & take the time to read the "Stickies" at the top of each as they are the place for "newbies" to start.

Welcome to FT, and we hope you learn a lot. I'm going to merge this thread in with our master 'welcome to FT!' thread.

Greetings from London
Hello everyone at Flytalk,
I stumbled across this website via google and I found it to be really informative. I don't travel as much as I would like to (if you can imagine living and working in the UK) my job and passion allows me access to several travel-related networks.
I would really like to help as much as I can to friends from other parts of the world, whether you are visiting or passing through the UK.
Feel free to drop me any queries you might have and I will do my best to help get the information however possible.
Safe travels and cheers to all...

Hello from STL
Hello FT Community!
I have been a frequent business traveler for many years, but I'm new to the world of travel benefits (my old company kept employees' miles and points). I've been lurking in the background on FT for quite some time and thought it was time to join and contribute to the community. It has been a great experience so far-- learning lots of new things and re-learning lots of things I thought I once knew!
A little about myself -- my name is Justin and I work with many breweries around the world for a food ingredient company based in Holland. I am based in STL and travel a lot domestically, with 3-4 trips per year to both South America and Europe.
Since AA abandoned STL, I status-matched on UA last year and have been very happy with *A benefits. I'm looking forward to making 1K by year end.
Cheers,
Justin

Hello from TO
Hello Everyone,
My name in Mark and I'm and engineer from Toronto.
I've been following FT for some time thanks to a friend who introduced me and I thought it was about time to join, meet some fellow FT's and be a part of this community.
I started with my company a little over a year ago and I have found myself traveling to almost every continent since. I'm new to the world of business travel so i'm hoping to learn all I can.
Cheers

Hello all, I am reasonably new to FT and the world of FF miles/programs and the like, thought I should introduce myself.
My name is Steven, a second year law student (hence the handle). I only get the chance to travel a couple of times a year, due to budget/time constraints and so trying to maximise loyalty points collection. After all, “Points make prizes”.
