Hi, there! I'm Kristina and I have frequently visited FlyerTalk in the past...but now I'm officially a member! I can't wait to start interacting with others who are so passionate about traveling as I am. Any suggestions on other stickys to view while I get started?
Cheers,
Kristina

Hi everyone. My name is Shawn and I am your typical business traveler. Over the past couple of years, I've managed to rack enough miles with to reach some form of elite status on Alaska, American and Continental/United.
Alaska Airlines is who I do the most traveling with having fallen just short of their Gold 75 status for 2013.
I'm looking forward to hearing what other travelers have to say about the various FF programs.

Hey everyone,
I'm Will, and I'd joined as a member ages ago but finally figured I'd start attempting to contribute, so here goes! I've been using FlyerTalk as a research source for ages (so I owe everyone many belated thanks) so, although I don't travel nearly as much as I would like, hopefully I'll be able to add some sort of insight/assistance in the future.
(And maybe someday I'll finally achieve status somewhere, too!)

Hi all. I've come across your forum after searching for more info on the byzantine world of frequent flyer programmes and how best to take advantage of them.
I live in London but am from the States (West coast) and am currently traveling regularly within Europe for business. I'd like to figure out how best to use the BA exec club, my Avios points and lounge access. ;^)

Evening one and all, ex executive turned self employed but still travelling as much as possible with BA (mainly from LHR) trying to learn more tricks of the trade how to use those systems (points/tiers etc) to the max, thanks to a certain friend, you know who you are.

Hello all! I'm a Toad on the Road who has been travel hacking for the past 6 months now. I'm officially a huge fan of flying to Hawaii for $5 and am now helping others do the same with my blog.
I have LOTS of tips and tricks to provide newbies and perhaps even those who have been doing this for a while but I have many more questions then answers. Cheers!

hey there FT,
been lurking as I plan my first AoR (is there a good place to post questions I have on that?). About to start work... first employment post-college. Come June I'll be traveling 2 or 3 times a month for the job. Personal travel interest is getting back to South America most importantly, Europe if I can find the days (unlikely).

Hello! I'm so happy to be joining you all and look forward to reading your posts.
I'm planning a trip with my family to Hawaii next year and want to learn all I can about points and other ways to save on costs. As a beginner with this stuff, any links you find good for folks like me would be much appreciated. In any case, 'am glad to be aboard!
