My husband travels for business and I manage all his points, upgrades and bonus miles. Flyer talk is a very informative tool. Keep up the good work!^

Afternoon all, was just bibbling about trying to find a flt to EZE. Came across this place. Looks nice here, might stay a while.

Anyway, in a previous life I worked for a Big Airline in the UK, now with an online travel agency, making the most of AD75s.

Hello

I am not exactly new to this site but given my low post count, that most people probably do not know me plus that I never posted to this thread before, I think I finally found my way to posting here.

My nickname is an abbreviation from my real name, Florian. I am from Vienna, Austria and I'm 23, alas one of the younger members here. I study communication at Vienna University whiles working full-time for a local public relations agency (well ok, they are a part of an international network).

I've been an aviation enthusiast for basically all my life. I took my first flight when I was 8 months old - my parents took me along for a trip to Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia on Singapore Airlines. Over the years I came to fly about all the Singapore Airlines aircraft there were: the DC-10, the 747-200, the Big Top and Megatop, the Airbus 310's they used for their hops to DPS that I took, the Celestar, Jubilee, and in the meantime I also had the chance to take the Airbus 380 and the 777-300ER. The only bird I never took was the Airbus 340-500 and I probably never will because paying long haul business out of my own pockets is, well, pretty damn hard for a student. I was in Singapore Airlines' Young Explorer Club when I was little, had various status membership cards with them and jut recently turned my back on their KrisFlyer program.

I just love flying. Mostly, I travel in Economy Class but from time to time, some Business Class tickets slip into my bookings. Like today ... I will be off for a short hop to Thessaloniki on Swiss Business. Anyway, my first trip in the front is about to happen in April 09. Finally, I will be able to sit in those SpaceBeds and SkySuites I passed as a child, telling my dad that I will be flying in those seats sooner or later. I am glad I snatched a few of those sears on the Megatop 747's as this concludes an era of flying for me. Still, there will be plenty of cities and countries left to visit and I hopefully will be traveling to Africa and Southern America sooner or later in order to having been on all the continents (well, except the Antarctica).

To all of our new folks....WELCOME.

I would also like to extend a warm welcome to all of the new members of FlyerTalk.You do realize that there is an Antarctica forum here on FlyerTalk, do you not?

Go ahead and plan on traveling to Antarctica.

So I am not really new here I just guess I fogot about the forum and never paid close enough attention to the emails. Anyhow my profile pretty much tells the details, married middle-aged traveling guy from Tampa Bay area in FL. I am a sales guy peddling wireless messaging solutions, yeah the evil text messages......... Say hi whan you see me sitting/standing around TIA or ATL seeing as all things go through ATL or so it seems....

New Registrant. Not sure why/how I had not heard of the site before. Looks great, and hopefully I'll be able to contribute as I do on the Porsche and auto racing forums I'm involved with.

Wife & I travel to Europe 2 times a year.

My wife, son and I are moving to Tokyo, with our dog, from Phila. for about 3 years. We are in the process of searching for a place to live. We are torn with several locations and were wondering if anyone had insight to share. Our son will be going to school near the Shirogane/Takanawa station.

1. There is a nice apt near the school and within walking distance to the Tokyo American Club.
2. There is a apt in Azabu Juban. Great location. Lots of expats with kids.
3. Nice apt. in Roppongi called Roppongi Green Terrace, which is close to train, lots of expats but very, very urban.
4. Fabulous Apt overlooking nature park in Shirogankanedai area, close to the Shirogankanedai station.

We would really appreciate any thoughts people might have.

Thanks.

Hi Im Jazzy...love music, traveling, and the cold weather. Currently living in South Florida.....looking for travel deals and specials so that I can travel the world!!!

Welcome to all the new members!

Welcome to FT, RichardLC! You came to the right place!

You probably are too new to know our Japan Forum (Travel&Dining > Travel&Dining: Destination >> The World> Japan). I believe if you start a new thread asking all the specifics in the right destination forum, the local will be able to help out. You may want to explore our Asia Forum as well.

We have quite a few savvy FTers residing in Tokyo and Japan. I am sure you will get some good pointers from them. Moving the whole family + a pet is a BIG change! If you need advice & info about the travel arrangement& tips, don't hesitate to ask in your new thread. Be as specific as possible (such as your home base in US, travelling dates, hotel/airline status, air carrier..etc), so FTers can "tailor" their advice to suit your needs. Questions about airlines should go to the Airline Programs fora (not sure which one you are flying though).

I am sure you've done quite some research yourself by far. Hope FT can make your big move much smoother. Welcome again!

My name is Pete, and I have been flying for business since Jan 2007. I telecommute for a company based in the San Francisco Bay area. In my job I travel domestically, but I don't really have any routes that I fly consistently. We cover all 50 states.
I recently moved from Allentown PA to Jacksonville FL. I have loyally flown US Airways, but I will be making a change in 2009, yet to be decided.
Love the forum, I find it to be a wealth of information.

After several years of anonymous lurking and several months as a silent but attentive member, it seems to me that a brief introduction is long overdue. In my professional life, I'm an engineer for a major US-based corporation and travel several times a year, both domestically and globally. I've logged most of my air time on United and Continental, with a few foreign carriers thrown in for variety.

I've found this site to be both helpful and entertaining over the past several years, and I look forward to participating more actively in the future.

I thought I posted already but now can not find it. I am new to the board, fairly new. I have one daughter who is now in college and wants to start traveling with her mom - how fun is that? We are in Texas and loving it!

Anything else you want to know? Just ask!

Hey guys, welcome all
