It looks like some fans of frequent flying have come to the film's defense.

Check out the newly posted comments.

Arrow

there's another thread about this idea in the Community forum, but with the current job environment and some attractive air fare deals around the world the whole Travel Buddy concept should be considered for the Mileage Run forum.

this relate to Gabriel's travels with his friend, don't see why the same concept can't work with random people off the forum.

take advantage of the same mileage run deal, originating from the same airport or different ones around the country... doesn't really matter so long as the destination is the same... hang out for a day, and then back home. surely would be more interesting than sitting at the airport alone... with lounge access or not.

Great documentary! Now when we get interrogated by the immigration again (such as in NZ), we can show them the PBS link to show what we are doing.
