Hello there!

[subichow]

Hey everyone, I only just found this place and was pretty excited to find an active Aussie forum! I definitely don't have quite the depth of knowledge as some do, but I do enjoy flying and traveling around. I'm not actually a 'frequent flyer' as work does not require it so it's purely for leisure whenever time allows for it. I enjoy reading trip reviews and looking at pictures possibly a little too much and any time at an airport is basically an opportunity to gawk at planes.

Thanks to my family I was able to enjoy the perks of premium travel in earlier years, but now that I have to fund things myself I've started enjoying reading about FF programs and the whole community around it. I feel the whole avgeek thing is something none of my immediate friends share with me, hence I'm singing up! Anyway I look forward to reading and trying to contribute myself whenever I can. My problem now is trying to recall as many trips as I can to add to my Flight Tracker thing!

Welcome aboard!

Like you I fund all my own travel. Hope we see you at a meet-up or in a lounge sometime.

Hi subichow!

I am the same I think, not a "frequent flyer" for work as much, but mainly leisure when time allows for it!

I recommend looking through your emails for flights to add to the flight tracker! search for terms such as "itinerary", "qantas", "virgin" etc!

Thanks everyone for the welcome! I'm already learning new lingo.. SFSC haha.

I've given up on trying to chase down my international flight history from anything earlier than 2005 now and I have no real record for domestic flights as often they were booked with family or friends etc... But with my newfound hobby of collecting my boarding passes I hope to keep better track moving forward.
