Well hi!

Hope you learn a lot and look forward to your future contributions. Like any hobby it is imperative to pick up the lingo. A little work up front will pay off and you will soon be off to exotic locales with very little cost.

Hi-- I hail from the San Diego area (what was your first clue??) and love being a contributor to Flyertalk. I love travel and have trips on the books for Alaska and Ireland, working on one to Africa within the next year or so. Moscow and the far east are also on the "to do" list.

I spend waaaayyyy too much time on Flyertalk these days.

Hi
 

My name is Scott. I've been in every state on North America's east coast as well as about half of Canada. Looking to broaden my travels and joined mostly for advice.

Hello!
 

Time to introduce myself after being registered for 2 months. :p
I'm from Switzerland and came to this board through a link in a german frequent flyer forum (VFT). I am studying aviation management and doing exchange semester in New Zealand at the moment.

Hello All
 

Hi there,

Brand new to FT, and reward travel in general. I love travelling, and now that I'm a few years out of college and been able to improve my creditworthiness I decided to look into reward travelling as a way to see more of the world, and take a honeymoon for free. I'm a born and raised Seattleite, currently living in the Greater Seattle Area.

Hello Geri, welcome to Flyertalk, sorry to hear of your troubles.

I suggest posting in the Virgin Atlantic forum: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/virgi...ying-club-506/

Where those more familiar with the program can advise.

Greetings all!

I've been a long-time lurker of FlyerTalk, checking in from time to time over the years but never registering. I'm a flight enthusiast but, as I regrettably never get to travel for business, I don't get out nearly as much as I'd like.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi everyone!
I joined FT a long time ago and then forgot it, but now back here. Used to travel a lot for business to some exotic destinations like LPB, ABJ, NSI, NIM, MPM or ISB. Now more focused on major European cities.
I also enjoy cruising and therefore following Cruise Critic.
Cheers,
Jussi
