I was a Charter Member here when the place opened and can't recall if I ever posted on this thread. Then my excuse is I'm old. 
I used to travel on business 22to25 times per year (mostly Delta) and a few times on leisure. Don't fly as often as I hate paying my own fare.

Hi folks,
I'm fiona, a proper Northern lass, living in Leeds in Yorkshire. I gave up on BA years ago when flybe took over their northern routes. But now they've started flying from Leeds, together with a bit of encouragement from my brother, who has been on the forum for a while now, I'm back on the points trail. So I'm a complete novice and keen to learn from all your collective wisdom. I love a bargain so I've booked a couple of trips based on tips on the forum. So thank you guys!

I've been lurking around and posting randomly for 2 years now and happened across this section of the forums for the first time (I usually spend most of my time in the credit cards, manufactured spending, and points/miles forums). I thought it would be a great time to introduce myself....better late than never. I'm Patrick and I'm a Civil Engineer working in Roadway Design in Raleigh, NC. My travel is primarily personal but I hope to have the opportunity to travel for business at some point (although it is somewhat limited in my field). I stumbled onto this hobby right after college and haven't slowed down yet. This place is awesome!

New here, so Hello?
I wasn't sure where to put a "greeting" post, so please move this if need be.
For the purpose of this forum, I am "Slap Happy".
As I just found you, I've got a lot of surfing and reading to do so .....
Thanks for being here and all the info I suspect I'll discover.

New member...1 day, 3 airports, 3500 miles later
Hi all, I was wondering if there was a place for other frequent flyers and here it is!
I fly every week around Europe due to work so thought I would say hello to some like - minded souls after a pretty busy week. I am based in the UK.
I was in Portugal for the week until yesterday evening then home, for a 4am start today, flight to Athens for a meeting, then a return flight via Frankfurt home. I reckon I'll get in around 1am. Not the best way to spend Good Friday! I have a few days off then away again next Wednesday.
Anyway hello from Europe and Happy Easter!

Hi! I am a new member here, 26 years of age from Japan.
I love travelling, food, airlines and stuff. I usually travel alone but I am perfectly fine in travelling with friends as well.
Looking forward to meet people here and share ideas. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to FT interacting but have followed the forums for over a year now.
DFW based 25 year old working in finance for a consulting firm (stationary job
). I've traveled quite a bit over the years (leisure mostly) but it's the biggest passion of mine. My spare time is comprised of geeking out over planes, places around the world, etc.... and hockey. I would love to get into the travel industry or just find a road-warrior job of sorts someday (cue people talking me out of that).
Y'all have been awesome so far and I thank you for the opportunity to be part of the community!
