Hello All, I'm new and looking to learn more about flying as I would like to start traveling more.

hello,

I'm wondering if this place is mainly for premium fares. It sounds like economy fare discussion is deemed "off topic". Is there a place FT'ers go to discuss economy deals.
I'm specifically interested in

west coast USA
to
Southeast Asia.

I'm not disparaging FT. I got a lot of help in how to use my AA miles for an award ticket. Who knew there were multiple ways to search for tickets on AA.

Welcome to FT! Economy fare discussion isn't off-topic, but it's context specific. We're not a board that's intended to replace doing your own research or hiring a travel agent. Premium deal discussions get a lot of attention because people feel the need to share unusual bargain, but you'll also see people share good economy deals in the Mileage Run forum.

Thanks! I'll look for economy deal discussion there.

Hello everybody, new member here. I joined today after hearing Flyertalk mentioned by Noel Phillips in one of his recent Youtube videos. Hoping to find advice on the points game and low promo fares. First ignant (a step or two below "ignorant") newbie question...what the heck is an MR? Is it just an abbreviation for "miles reward," or...?

MR = Amex Membership rewards
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...p-rewards-410/

or

MR = Mileage run. A flight for no other purpose other than to get ff miles ad/or status earning. With more ffp's now revenue based credit card earn has replaced in some ways.

On a laptop at the bottom of every page --> https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/glossary.php

MILEAGE RUN A series of flights taken in a very short amount of time, solely for the purpose of accumulating frequent flyer miles, with a blatant disregard for the destinations.

Hi, everyone!

Looking to get a bit more savvy when it comes to using my points... I never seem to be able to spend any of them! As well as getting a bit more knowledge around airports and airlines.

:)

Hi y'all ! New to the travel/hotel points game. Hoping to learn how to use my points/money more effectively!

Hi Everyone,

I'm not new, however, I couldn't receive a new password with the two emails I used so I created a new profile. I used to post back in the early 00s and I don't know what name I used.

I do see a difference when I have the yellow "priority" bag tags on checked bags. If I'm not in the priority category already, I find my bags within the first 2 or 3 dozen off of the plane. I check bags usually 60-90 min. before boarding begins. I purchased these from FlyerTalk a couple of decades ago.
