Two questions and a suggestion

1. How do you manage to have status, miles, lounge access etc. for so many different airlines, lounge programs etc. Did you really save up awards for decades? Or did you just pay for all of it?

2. How does one become a vegetarian "not by choice"?

Suggestion: You should apply to be on Amazing Race.

Enjoyed the report!

Interesting TR

There is still hope for FT. This TR was very interesting not just for information but mostly for the long (maybe not) pauses in reporting. Kept us interested and kept us guessing. Thank you.

One answer is if you have kidney disease. Diseased kidneys don't handle animal protein well, but plant protein is OK. I'm sure there are other answers, too.

All flights were awards in premium cabins, so lounge access is included. I usually warehouse Amex points.

I was raised vegetarian by my parents (I am of Indian origin). I have tried eating meat in my adult life but found it hard to overcome the psychological barrier

Since I am of Indian origin, I have an OCI (overseas Indian citizen) a lifelong visa.

Id love to, but the vegetarian thing would be a huge barrier.
