Hello all, I'm in my early 20's business traveler primarily, but I do try and sneak a few leisure trips in here and there. Based in Sunny San Diego.
I look forward to being a member of this community.
Combined across all the airlines and trips I've taken I have over 2mm
(My father jokes that I was issued 2 things at birth, my birth certificate and my AAdvantage number)
I'm proud of the fact that I made AA Plat in 2.25 months

This may be a bit of an odd topic, but after reading various threads today, I respectfully ask some of our members to provide a little more information about themselves.
This is not a big-brotherish request - it's more that I am interested to see where people are/what they do/what activities thrill them, and some are very mysterious blanks...
Jim_B is somewhere in South America? auh2o has an interesting name, but what sort of mind comes up with that handle? pjaucutt provides all sorts of information, but seems to spend more time in Paris than at a university in Wisconsin, Jetdillo has a job which allows him the opportunity to critique BA's stewardesses outfits...
Many of the regular contributers change their profiles regularly (and perhaps those who don't should dust theirs off?) Mine may seem strange, but it is all true...

OrsoI can move your question to the LX sub-forum but unfortunately it is not possible to transfer LX miles to your United account. However, you can collect United miles when flying on LX in future.
Depending on how many LX (strictly speaking Miles & More) miles you have, it might be possible to suggest the best way of using them. If you want to ask in more detail I suggest you post your question in the Miles & More forum.

My name is Lauren, I'm 29 on Friday and I live in Brisbane, Australia.
I currently am helping out the family cleaning business, who are contracted to clean emergency services stations and government offices in Brisbane.
I am a women's rugby player, I play openside flanker and travel overseas and around Australia a lot to watch the professional games and play as well. I also like vegan cooking and have my own blog and page for that, and am into fitness and photography.

presenting.. me! purduephotog
Never having written an introduction before I feel compelled to do so tonight, on Halloween.
My name is Jason and I travel for work. Pretty much solidly United to AF sites and a few others, I go where asked to and try not to whine too much.
I have two munchkins, 3 and 5, I absolutely hate leaving behind, and an incredible wife that watches them and ours while I work wherever.
Chemist, chemical engineer, programmer and other areas ...
I'll try not to be annoying, but no guarantees.

Hello everyone,
Was a lurker for a while (even after joining) but have kept a closer eye on the board lately and joined in to a few of the discussions. I don't like to put out a whole lot my personal info on a public forum, but:
I live in Ontario, Canada and work in broadcasting, mostly focused on sports but also have my hand in some other aspects of the industry (my username gives some of that away). I travel all over North America for work and pleasure. I'm not somebody who spends triple-digit nights a year in hotel rooms by any means - I may push 50 in a busy year. My work and personal travel takes me across North America at various times of the year, most flights originate at DTW.
If I have an opening in my schedule and find a good deal, I have no problem grabbing a last minute flight to go catch a sporting event. For example, one day in 2012, I drove to DTW, flew to DEN, rented a car, went to a ballgame, back to DEN, drop off the rental, flew back to DTW and then drove home.
Thank goodness there wasn't a bad flight delay or rainout!

I have been too busy on travel to post much lately. Just recaptured 1K status on UA, and Hilton Diamond for the first time. Hilton sent me a pack of playing cards. So far nothing from UA except the upgrade certs in my account. Have been keeping a close eye on the SFO National Car posts. That's an active location where they are frequently running out of cars. I will be back there next week.....
My biggest challenge of late on travel is to keep from gaining weight. The last week-long domestic trip I took on a "take no prisoners" attitude and did a long workout every morning and bought food at local supermarkets rather than relying exclusively on restaurants. Came back 1 lb lighter on the scale....
also fortunately I was not at LAX today where they had a shooting.

An interesting facts about me is that I hold citizenship and passports for 3 countries (very Jason Bourne!).
Our motto is "earn 'em and burn 'em". Burn 'em we have!

My name is Carl and I help to build one of two types of aircraft (types according to a quote attributed to Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC). While I fly in airliners I love piloting smaller aircfaft. To fly in airliners more effectively, I am joining the ranks here. Lots to learn.
