24, considering to be advanced (but have been wrong before ;) )

Cheers,

38, beginner. When I think of all the miles I didn't collect or let expire, agh!

23 (actually 5 3/4 if you want to get technical ;))

Advanced (IMO). I know the basics, I can handle most situations, I just do not have the miles nor the understanding of certain areas to consider myself an expert. Traveling when you are young to far off countries by yourself definitely helps.

34, and like so many people before me, intermediate/advanced

Fraser May 8, 2007 4:25 pm

23 here.

I'd consider myself intermediate. Still haven't taken advantage of any mistake fares, although I've directed a few people in the direction of the transatlantic AA F mistake when that came about.

How do you get Sixt Platinum at 17? :D I couldn't rent with them until quite recently.

As of last Friday, I'm 45. I consider myself an expert on United (though I still make the occational mistake), and intermediate-advanced on other travel issues.

UA 1Ks get it automatically.

Right, 1K's automatically get it, or Ameniti members. Not that i'll ever use it, but I have it.:D

36 and advanced - was advised to post on this thread due to complaining of unrewound tapes in AA F :(

Illini_Fan May 9, 2007 12:11 pm

35 and intermediate.

Thanks for the reference to the unwound tapes in AA F -- I was paging through this post wondering how I ended up here and your comment reminded me I was reading another thread at one point -- which I'm now going back to :)

The "older" people aren't going to reveal their ages.

The "dumber" people aren't going to admit to being "dummies."

I think the results of this informal poll will be basically meaningless. @:-)


Geez, I've been looking for a girl like you. Cheerful, great disposition, happy smile. I'm a 63 year old novice, grateful to the credit card expert and others that have made my travel much more fun.

I try...

Well today I have helped a friend book an airline ticket from Washington DC to Ulsan, South Korea, somewhere I've never been to :D I've got her signed up for NW Worldperks and the corresponding Visa card and I've booked myself a couple of tickets too.

People seem to want to come to me for FFP advice now :eek:

34 and advanced, with special areas of expertise in AA and SPG. Have lots of stories to share when we finally get around to doing a Boston Do.
