Hello
 

I'm a 5 year 1K and EXP, and just found these forums today... strange but I never thought to look before.

Anyway-I fly my 1K flight tomorrow *sigh* for year 6 :rolleyes:

I will not however re-qualify for EXP so that is a sign that things are going better! ;)

I'm a freshman at college who is pretty big on the gaming scene. I've only flown two times so far, one being a roundtrip from Virginia to Las Vegas, and the last being an international trip between the United States and Russia. I'm going to be flying back home pretty soon since Thanksgiving is coming, but I have a feeling that I'll be traveling much more often as time goes on.

Anyway, nice to see everyone here!

Newbie looking for a preferred seat assignment.
 

Hello everyone, ahh, looks like only center seats available.

I'm Joe, a roughly 10-year frequent traveler from Tampa, FL.

I primarily fly Delta and stay at Marriott, and have been trying over the past several months to try and hold onto status with both after being laid off for 10 months, re-employed, and slowly getting my travel frequency back up there.

I work in high-tech as an IT security engineer for a company that makes encryption-related products. In my spare time, I volunteer with the Civil Air Patrol - so my aviation interests are both commercial and not. Given the parallels between IT security and physical security, I am always interested in discussions on aviation security (and have unsuccessfully tried to point out flaws to the TSA - but don't get me started...).

I am a technology junkie and am constantly searching for tech ways to make my travel more fun, productive, and entertaining.

My area of responsibility is currently the southeastern US, but in my past jobs I have traveled all over the US, Canada, and to Europe and Asia a few times.

I'm glad to be flying with you. I do wag my finger from time to time, hopefully not too much - don't wanna steal anyone's thunder.. :D

And now, if you'll excuse me... I need to book a rental car for next week's trip to ATL....

Hey guys, I've been reading this site for a little while, but decided to get registered so I could post here occasionally.

My first love is Airliners.net, buuuuut I don't feel like paying for the membership :-)

Obviously my name is John, and I live in Columbus OH.

Originally from Atlanta, I spent most of my life there, with a few years spent in Ohio for College. Spent about a year living in DC, then moved to Columbus.

Being from Atlanta, my favorite airline is Delta, and I have always enjoyed flying them out of my favorite airport, Hartsfield-Jackson.

I am a starving freelance photographer, but manage to do a fair amount of "traveling" for work here and there, mostly short flights. Someday I hope to have some interesting long hauls to post about.

Here's my flight memory just for the heck of it!

About Me
 

My name is Chris. I live in Boston and work for Dunkin' Donuts. My team is responsible for the development of the Dunkin' Donuts units you see popping up in airports around the US.

It's good to know....
 

It's good to know that I'm not the only nut case, hmm, concerned frequent flyer around here. It's kind of AA with frequent flyer miles.

My name is Thomas and I live in Norfolk, Virginia (ORF). Norfolk is home base for the last 10 years. I tried several airlines before (US Airways, Delta, Lufthansa) before settling in with United Airlines. It works best for my trip across the country and across the Atlantic.

Southwest Airlines which also serves the Norfolk airport, sent a rep to our office to talk about their company. I have refused to fly with them. As part of an Q & A session afterwards, I asked, "What kind of entertainment (XM Radio) do you have on board?" It was fairly embarrassing being told that there is no entertainment system on SW flights.

I have been a 1K flyer with United for the last 3 years and it will take me another 5 years at this rate to become a million miler. Like many of us, I have had good and very bad flights. While lost luggage doesn't bother me anymore, being taking for granted pushes all my buttons.

For right now, I'm still enjoying my time in the friendly skies. Hope to see you all soon.

Hello!
 

I live close to Washington DC and am one of the many thousands of attorneys therein. My non-business travel includes trips to pretty exotic places like Tibet, Patagonia, and Svalbard. I have been viewing FlyerTalk for some time, but this is my first post. :D

One Pass Miles
 

I am recently retired and have miles in five different airlines. The biggest is Continental Airlines (118,000). My question is....Can I transfer these One Pass Miles to use for hotel rooms. There was a posting from about 10 years ago that said they tranferred One Pass Miles to Amtrak and then transferred the Amtrak Points to HHonors Points. I can't find anything on Continental's site that will let me transfer to a hotel....Is it possible to transfer One Pass Miles to use at any hotel????? JVR-Cornjerker

This is a cool forum
 

I've flown with all of the major carriers and the only thing of note, is that I love the Biscotti cookies on Delta flights. I fly about 6-8x a year and have done so for about 8 years. Also have flown to destinations like Rome, Italy - Berlin, Germany - Buenos Aires, Argentina - Dublin, Ireland, - Vancouver, Canada - Anchorage, Alaska, and pretty much all of the major cities in the USA from Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, La Guardia NYC, Columbus, Omaha, Portland, Seattle, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, ....etc.....

I actually hate traveling. The people I meet make it worth it but not a big fan of changing scenery, I can see that on my computer any time.

Hello! I am new to the Flyertalk. I am starting my own marketing business and currently working with a client who is a travel agent - mainly travel to the Middle East and Turkey. I'd post their site but we're COMPLETELY re-doing their site and I will be writing their travel blog :)

I also have a personal blog http://www.sundaymorningsoliloquy.com where I talk about my life in Chicago. Getting hit by cabs, screaming at homeless people, etc.

I am an avid traveler. I've been around the world. IN FACT, I love nothing more than travel, dining and wine!

I am really excited to join this site.

Hello,
Philip here. I'm British, I live in Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean and I fly for holidays, going back to Europe and as a passion. Lucky enough to have my first First recently (round trip Mauritius Perth on Emirates) and am about to embark on a round Africa business class trip to visit various friends dotted around the continent. Thinking of doing a trip report on that.... good idea?
Phil
