Hi everyone!
I'm Anna from Italy. I live in Naples and I love travel everywhere. I visited many cities in Europe and I stayed 3 times in USA, once in NY and then in 2 different on the road trips that was wonderful.

I wish I would travel more than actually and I hope you could help me!

I've not come here yet despite being registered on FT since 2009.

I'm timmy83 - I'm a young professional in healthcare who travels mostly for fun, but enough for work to care about what the airlines and hotel chains do. I live in the midwest and love to visit new places

Prior to being involved in FT, I flew whatever airline and stayed wherever. I'd been to Portugal once and Italy twice, then I learned some tips to travelling and have now been to the Maldives, China, Singapore, and will be going to Amsterdam, Bruges, and Paris in the next month.

I've flown first or business class more than I ever expected and learned a ton from these boards! Cheers!

Hi everyone, roadwarrier here. Yes, it is a strange way of spelling it, but when I registered on another forum yonks ago, I had a bit of "funny finger' syndrome, so the spelling error remained.

Anyhow, I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa and my working territory covers Africa, Europe, the Middle East and, whne needed, the CIS region.
Sadly though, travel has been curtailed a bit, so my trips are limited, but as long as I keep my FF cards at Gold, I am happy.

I lurked for many years before registering, and have learnt a lot from here and often drool over some of the Trip Reports. So I hope to be able to make one or two contributions that will assist someone else.

HI !
I am Jacob. My interest is in economics and I love travelling. I works for a travel company as a higher member in management to get partnership fro other countries.

I works to connect two countries though the travel with tourists. Many time I also acknowledge with guides to explore the beauty on the earth.

I've been posting here for a while now but I haven't properly introduced myself. Shame on me, sorry about that. Let's make up for it.

I was once born in The Netherlands. I've moved all over Europe since, so 'where I lay my hat, that's my home' quite applies to me. Most of my stuff is based somewhere near OSL nowadays. I also have a bed there I can use...

I travel a lot, both for business and for pleasure. I've been all over the world, visited dozens of countries and thousands of cities and places on 5 continents.

The weird part is that I don't like flying that much. At least, not anymore. Especially not in Economy. Part of that is because I'm flying too often (almost 200 legs in 2013), part of it is because of very bad experiences (I'm allergic to KLM now, Lufthansa also leaves a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth) and part of it is becuse I'm getting more and more used to business class (only recently got allowed to fly that from my employer) and 5 star skytrax airlines (yes, I'm spoiled sometimes). What's most attractive for me in traveling nowadays is discovering new places on this planet, preferrably in a luxury setting.

For those interested, my most frequented airports this year (including transfer airports):
OSL, FRA, ZHR, VIE, MUC, AMS, JFK, SIN, DXB and PRG.

I'm part of quite some FQTV-programs, although I'm only succesful in M&M as Senator (will drop it due to recent regulation changes) and EuroBonus (made it to gold this year to my surprise). As you may notice, I'm quite a StarAlliance guy. For hotels, I'm part of many programs, although most hotels always seem to find a way to tell me my stay isn't applicable for points, points cannot be transferred or my points cannot be used for the things I like. And I never seem to have enough points either. Doesn't matter, I'll survive. At least it gives me some extra shiny cards to break the ice on boring birthday parties or so...

What I'm doing here? Two things. First of all, there's still some Dutch left in me, so I looove coupons, discounts, chances to win and other freebies. Searching the net for such things actually made me find this place. Furthermore, as I do travel a lot, flying and hoteling have become a significant part of my life. I'm hoping to find some people here who know the feeling, who understand some of my frustrations about too much traveling and who can give me some tips or new points of view on some of the matter. And if I can help others with my (extensive) travel experience, then I'd be happy too.

Name's Derek, living between SMF and RNO in the Sierras of northern California. Travel about 50% for work (mostly international to Europe and domestic to Florida and Missouri) and 50% for pleasure/family reasons (all over the globe, plus to family in NYC and RDU areas). I'm employed in the biotech industry and in addition to traveling, enjoy fishing, golf in my limited free time. We own a small ranch here in CA, so that consumes a lot of my time that isn't spent at the office or on a plane.

Hi All,

I was looking for the perfect thread to make my first post here, so thought I may as well introduce myself.

I am new to travelling (recently caught the bug), but love the idea of visiting new places, & I always look to learn new things.

I will be looking for advice from more seasoned travellers (hope that is ok), and will contribute wherever I can to help others.

Hope this is ok, look forward to speaking to you again soon.

Happy Trails.

Welcome to FlyerTalk!

Its a huge learning curve, and definitely lots of knowledge here on the forum to increase miles and points earning capabilities.

Hello all,

I am currently a student based in Norwich and call London (Surrey) home. I travel when I can, but am laying off in third year to make the most of my remaining uni time. In my spare time I like to swim and play tennis (to a very beginner level). Hope that gives a bit of background.

I've been avoiding joining Flyertalk for quite a while so I don't spend too much time on flights stuff. . . but have finally given in!

Hi All!

I have been poking around the forums for quite a while, and I decided to join the site a few months ago.

I am a journalist for Airways magazine and the aviation news site Airchive. Next Fall, I plan to begin pursuing a business degree at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

I am sort of a frequent flier, but I wish I flew a lot more. There are so many places to see.

Can't wait to chat with you!
Jack

Hello Guys...

How are you? I am new one in this forum.. Nice to see you all here and i hope so i enjoy stay here.. Thank you and what about you guys...

Hey guys,

New member here... I've been looking around and getting lots of information for the past couple months. I figured now would be as good time as any to join and hopefully contribute to the community.

I end the year only flying 15 segments on UA (main airline), these miles were mostly for work but with my United Card I have established just under 100k miles. I also made Marriott Silver Elite this year which I don't see to much benefit from but is nice to have I guess. Compared to some of you my status/miles is lacking but I enjoy traveling and figured I can continue to learn from everyone on here.

Going forward, I'll be reading up on AA as I currently reside in CLT, moving just recently from IAH.

Hello,

I feel little ashamed, that I didn't introduce myself in the last year as a frequent reader of Flyertalk and frequent participant of many FT Do's.

I work in the IT industry, providing Business Intelligence for banks. I needn't travel on my job, so I'm fully concentrated on leisure travelling.

Based in Stuttgart, Germany, normally I travel a lot on LH and LX, but switched a little bit to BA and oneworld, because they do have better prices and a good connection out of Stuttgart. I prefer longhaul flights and escapes over a long weekend.

See you at another Do (probably the Japan Do in April) or in any lounge of Star Alliance or Oneworld for a drink.
Cheers,
Claudi

Sorry for not introducing myself earlier as I am FT reader and quite lazy poster (mostly on Miles & More forum) for a while here.

I am Finance / Banking IT Consultant frequently traveling and already for almost 2 years living between RIX and NAS. Mostly traveling on AC, LH, UA and AA for short hops between MIA and NAS. This year made LH SEN jumping up from LH FTL earned last year.

Most frequent airports - RIX, FRA, MIA, NAS, sometimes YYZ or EWR and before used to frequent also WAW and LCA. Some may say I am crazy to frequent 2 one of the most dreaded airports in many FTer opinion, but I do not find them very bad
