I'm top tier on DL (six years in a row, almpost there for next year already), BA(five years in a row, just requal'd for next year), BD(three years in a row, although I admit that the BD is just about gone and I won't bother again 2nd tier is okay there) and KL(half qual'd last year per the deal and have re-qual'd already). All earned.

BEAT THAT!

Mr Hfly... You have met your match! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
Actually you fly a Tiny amount more miles than me... BUT, want to compare segments? he he he he I'm on track for over 350 for this year. And none earned commuting. Anyone can get 300,000 miles flying international... try airport parking, security, bad food etc on 350 mostly domestic flights! I see your programs and raise you BAD AIRPORT TACO'S!!!!

B Watson posted some time ago that he flies nearly every 4th day an international paid F flight.

The amount of programs doesn't say a thing, the amount you maintain top tier status on WITHOUT comping is more important.

I can sign up for over 40 FF programs in an hour without setting foot on a single plane, that doesn't make me a junkie.

I couldn't find a miles program on this web site. Do they really have one? If so, can you provide a link to a description of it?

Thanks.

It's not a real airline. No mention of even a make believe FF program. And it wasn't mentioned on CBS as claimed elsewhere.

airOliAirways This unreal airline has an excellent FrequentFlier program. And I am the proud holder of a real lifelong-membership-card (*A0 000 000 001) of it's top-tier club ladoratio.

I nominate the founder and owner (of this airline/website), our own FlyerTalker airoli, as 'biggest FF junkie of all'!

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">But on the lighter, stranger side, how about the ability to properly caluclate exact mileage levels you might need in some flat program you belong to so you can bring them up to level and then use em, and not have to use or worry about those stray miles you have ever again?

I idined and did other things in some programs so that I had exact award levels like 25 or 35k, and then used the awards to have zero. Zero. Zero means bye bye.

why?
Why not. Because I could! To see what would happen. To not waste and to see how hard it was to do this and have THEM and ME keep on track at the same time (that was the hardest part for them!)

Who is the FF junkie whose mileage habits most closely resemble the Plains Indians' use of all parts of the buffalo? Marathon Man, no question about it.

I did that too with my British Airways miles. 10,000 Jag miles X 2 + 5,000 Starpoints = exactly 25,000. The lady at BA who booked my ticket must not have had the Jaguar promo on her computer screen because she was amazed that someone had exactly the necessary miles and not 1 to spare.
