The aging/health effects of extended air travel is not limited to bloggers.

Or, maybe the vast majority of business travelers are unattractive?

Flying first class in EK/SQ drinking Dom and eating lobster shouldn't really cause drastic changes in aging.

Oh lord. I saw the headline but didn't click thinking it was some feel good story about some down-on-his-luck guy getting a free plane ticket.

And he's still trying to make "the Hobbyists" stick.

She used the term "Hobbyist" again!!! UGH!

Does anyone but Ben and his PR person use that term? I have only ever seen it in the puff pieces for him.

If you click the authors name you go to her twitter page. Anyone with a twitter account want to point out the fact she just recycled the RS article from a few months ago?

To each his own in deciding to live out of a suitcase. As I said before, he looks frxxxxx old for his age and I guarantee you, he's going to have some serious health problems by the time he's 30. When he has to travel out sick and in poor health, no amount of first or business class travel can compensate for poor health.
