I really wanted to watch this, but my recorder is busted. Is there a way I can avoid Estonian on YLE Areena?

No, it's an Estonian documentary subtitled in Finnish... though most of the guys do speak in English.

Truth be told, it's not a stellar documentary - nothing new for me, at least. Good to see some of the FT faces there, though ^

It was nice to watch. Not that many here are travel or mileage junkies. The questions raised by the reporter were intresting. At what point does travel become a burden? When are you addicted? Is nothing enough? Doesn´t it feel lonely to be on the road etc.

I found it quite amusing that Estonian air boss didn't know of flyertalk. But his attitude towards mistake fares was worthy of respect.

I watched the documentary on Areena.

None of the guys really looked “yläluokkainen”.
