Is anyone interested in teaching/advising on how to do all this? It seems so confusing to read about it...much better listening. Just wondering if there is anyone in the Princeton area who would be willing to help a newbie...

Do you mean you have questions on how to redeem miles for flights out of the Princeton Area?

Let me add my welcome to all the new members who checked-on recently!
kamelia52, fortunately, there are many members in the San Diego area. Do check the Community Buzz forum pages from time-to-time to see upcoming Dos in that area.
spades097, FT has at least several ATCSs both in en route and local/TRACON.
FlyerTalk's relatively new forum, Information Desk (in the Points and Miles category), is a good way to get started to learn the arcane art/science of frequent travel programs and strategy.

Hi, people!
Name: Carol
Profession: Brazilian Foreign Service Officer (it's like a diplomat)
Birth Date: 6th Dec 1985
Location: As of today, Chicago, IL
I do move a lot, and have learned so much on FT! It did make my travels easier, and hopefully, now that I'm in a country that has credit cards, I'll start playing miles/points more

Hi! My name is Mary. (Sounds like the beginning of a confession....)
Been lurking around with minimal posts for a couple of years. I think it's time I got to know some of my fellow FTers. No one else understands!
So, I'm based in SMF, 61 years old, semi-retired/work part time from home. I do a bit of traveling for work and some for pleasure. Thanks to FT, I'm going to Australia next fall in style - Asiana to SYD via ICN in J, Qantas to HKG and Cathay Pacific on to SFO both in first. Love this site!

Greetings,
I am a committed AFFer, and have been lurking here for a while. I live on the outskirts of MEL, AU, and work with emergency services. I am looking forward to meeting some FTers at OzFest #11.

Hello!
I've been here for awhile but usually stuck on the IHG/Air Canada Forums
My name is Brian and I used to travel a lot for work but not anymore, sadly. I'm a Manufacturing/Process Engineer. I used to travel to Guadalajara, Mexico and Hungary a lot for work. Now I'm trying to look for another job where I can get to travel again. I'm from Canada!
I have learned so much here and thanks to fellow FTers. One person even gave me a BOGO for InterContinental since I lost mine and they wouldn't replace it! Great community indeed! This person was thankful for all the help from others so needless to stay this person paid it forward.
