I'm like a crack addict

I need to fly more. I need to fly long flights. I get on the plane and am plotting my next flight. What is so darn exciting about hitting the road?

I'm confused. Are you "like one" or "really one" ?
What is the difference?

travelhound, I get it. Maybe there's a 12 step program?
Meanwhile, don't spend the kids' college funds, and happy trails (con trails, that is)

I concur, addicted. but the past year i have experienced a good measure of obsession. For years I flew, and quite a lot, not caring about miles and the rewards. Then i happened upon FT and it is a whole new ballgame.

I know what you're saying. But me...I can quit any time I want to. I just don't want to.

Just don't get a blackberry...

I had a refuge from FT.. Work- no longer

I have not booked via my bb ... Yet- but its probably only a matter of time - that and I really want to book in-flight-

So yes I am hopelessly addicted - might slow down once I hit 1,000,000 miles (flown) on AS! (Way off)

That might explain my addiction. I don't work when I fly - out of touch and care free.

12 step program or 12 segment program.

There's an airline that grants status @ 12 segments

Try 30+++

We are looking at buying a new car. Model A vs model B. Model A is more expensive, far better performance. Model B is adequate, utilitarian.

I am leaning towards B. Why? Like I told Mrs. Gamecock, I can only have 1 mistress; MRs or a flashy car.

Its just like smoking - quitting is easy. I have done it - dozens of times.

I've booked my onward travel from onboard, using laptop equipped with mobile phone data card. Nowadays I suppose it'd be straight from my iPhone....
