Hi I've just joined the forum and trying to get up to speed. I'm a UA Premier and mostly travel for work to the Middle East and Central America (starting to log some Continental miles).

Great to join and I'm enjoying the education!

Welcome on FT, chontz !!

I have been travelling for several years and continue to enjoy it. It is good to see I am not the only one. I am Toronto based and travel primarily to Asia and Mexico.

I am a front office manager at a Holiday Inn property in upstate New York. I joined this forum in hopes to better understand my PCR guests and to hopefully help answer any questions that may arise.

My name is Rob (hopefully obvious) and am 23
I'm a 1L in law school.
I enjoy flying. Have been flying by myself since I was 8 or 9 (granted it was 2 or 3 years of unattended minor status before truly alone), most of it flying from upper michigan through ORD and on to DFW and back.

Find it hard to post on this site for some reason. I guess it's since most of the posts are fairly on topic, and I'm used to sites where it isn't. But I rotate through forums from time to time and will go back and forth.

My name is Joy Antony, m/34, from Kochi/Kerala/India.

I am working for my tourism portal kerala.in.

New members Dave & Linda Burns here. We live in Northern Virginia; I work in DC for the federal government and Linda is a government contractor. I'm a Premier Exec member with UAL due to a fair amount of job related travelling, primarily to Europe. We've got five kids and since the youngest graduated from college back in 2001 and left the nest we made a pact to get out of Dodge at least every three or four months and visit someplace, preferably warm, before we need walkers or wheelchairs. Thankfully, Dulles Airport is pretty close by. Looking forward to surfing the site and seeing what you folks have to say. And oh yeah, ended up here after hearing about the forum on the Timeshare Users Group (TUG) site since we have timeshares here in Virginia, in Mexico, and the Caribbean. Glad to have found this site and looking forward to being members.

Hi I just signed up i have heard great things about this site. I am looking to plan a trip leaving DTW on 1/5/09 for a week thinking about going somewhere in Mexico or at least somewhere warm. Would like to use miles. Can anyone assist me?
Thanks,

Welcome to FlyerTalk, scottleibo.

Before anyone can assist you, in which airline frequent flier program do you have miles which you would like to use?

If it is Northwest Airlines, for example, you may want to go to the Northwest WorldPerks forum to post your questions.

Good luck, and I hope your questions are answered completely, satisfactorily and quickly.

Hello,

I am a long time lurker of flyertalk and first time poster. Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a DL Silver, and your forum has been very helpful.

Hi:

A Newbie here and greeting to all. I would like to start to do some posting but have had trouble finding a "New Thread" button, most likely under BA Executive Club area. Any suggestions?

cheers

Hello All -

A friend of mine who is a self-proclaimed "mileage junkie" referred me to this sight. Well, I mentioned that I found an answer to something about flying on this message board and he exclaimed "FlyerTalk.com!" I am hooked. I am based out of CMH.

I am currently Silver Elite on NW and have been since the beginning of November. The amazing thing is that I started concentrating primarily on NW the very tail-end of August and reached Silver in a little over two months.

I am the director of entertainment for a restaurant and bar company based out of CLT. We have locations near DFW, CVG, DTW, RIC, PVD, BWI/IAD, CLT, and GRR. I have earned most of my status in segments as opposed to miles. I did some estimates and I fly roughly 40 weekends out of the year. If I fly roughly 65% of my flights on NW/DL, I will reach Platinum by the end of the year. I absolutely LOVE this website, although I wish there were some sort of compendium for all of the abbreviations in the vernacular. If there is one floating around here, please direct me to it.

Looking forward to getting to Platinum!

Chris O.

By no means is it complete, but here is the FlyerTalk Glossary to assist you with the abbreviations.
