Dreadful to say, but I feel that I've gotten more respect and action from a certain airline [if we're having a bit of a problem] if I mention that I go on Flyer Talk. Is this awful to do? I don't threaten, just mention it in passing. FT has also taught me lots of airline jargon, which makes one sound a bit more knowledgeable.

A while ago on a couple of transatlantic flights... outbound I sat next to a guy who had heard of FT (but doesn't post), and was doing a bunch of mileage runs to LGW. On the way back, I also had a nice conversation with the guy next to me, who turned out to be timid_trnchcoat, just a flight or two away from AA PLT. It seems these crazy sorts of people tend to turn up in row 31 on AA 777s. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/wink.gif

Please remember I always sit in F, therefore I would die before I was regarded as a chepo freebie bargain hunter that wastes his time on the internet... puuuhhlleeezzeeee.... http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/eek.gif Instead, I act as the Snot of a Snob that I am, and act as the full fare F revenue customer that Im going to be shortly. Of course, if someone happens to be cattle-class like and dares talk to me about FT I just pretend Ive never heard of it. </font> http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/biggrin.gif BTW, your post count is at: 12321 !!! I have mentioned that there is a message board for travelling and air travel in particular as well a site to talk about cruises at www.cruisecritic.com! That's all, never mentioned the URL or FT! |
...talk...to...seatmates?
You're talking crazy talk now. |
I have on occasion mentioned FlyerTalk to an airline employee. I have met with airlines and mentioned it and shockingly enough, even the marketing people were only vaguely familiar with it http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/eek.gif
|
I found out about Flyertalk from a seatmate (behind me actually) on a trip to Mexico City. That was 3 1/2 years ago. Now I tell anyone who has even a remote interest in flying for miles. I have my luggage tag on as well and occassionally get noticed, like on the way back from a trip to Vegas, ORDGUY and I met as he noticed my tag.
|
It was MJM who introduced me to Flyer Talk and ever since that time I have been so impressed with this site I make it a point to pass the word along to everyone I can.
Thanks Mike for getting me invovled. Regards, Robert |

It's been quite some time since I posted on FT. In my travels I also rarely meet people who have heard of FT including most airline FA's. I carry a card that has the website on it and pass it around when flyers are interested in travel topics.
|
This may be a stupid question, however as I'm still green behind the ears,... FT tags? How do you get these?
|
|
Ta!
Feel slightly foolish http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/biggrin.gif I just looked over and found OzStamps thread on the matter. Thanks. |
Yes I have and also with FA's RCC staff. Some of them have heard and some are interested.

On 1/19 I sat next to a nice guy in F ORD-SFO who seemed to know way too much about UA. I finally asked him if he read flyertalk and it turns out it was koppelman http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif
First time I've randomly met an FTer while flying. |
I often look around the cabin and wonder, "Is there a FTer out there?" But because we value our privacy, I don't probe or press.
