Hey! I'm Wil and I'm 16

[wil]

I'm a complete and utter newbie to the concept of working the frequent flyer system, however already love the concept. I am only sixteen so I am working through my parents mostly but ultimately I aim for a great family holiday by the end of next year. My love of planes, airports, and all things aviation has been there for as long as I can remember and one day I hope to Jet-Set across the globe just for the love of being in the air.

Oh and I'm from Sydney

G'day Wil, I'm Matt and probably older than your parents.

Go for it I say, the sooner you start the sooner you get there.

Cheers

Matt

Welcome aboard!

Lots to learn here. As you love aviation I suggest you head over to the highly informative and interesting "Ask The Pilot " thread.

 

[wil]

thanks!, I'll be sure to check it out

Welcome aboard Wil!
I'm sure your interest in flying won't wane, but I'll be interested to see how long the desire to take the family along lasts!

Welcome to AFF wil!

 

[Mattg]

Welcome. It's not that long ago that I was your age and planning a gap year/trip around the world for after I finished school. Best decision I ever made. Do you have any such plans?

 

[jackthomas]

Hey Will!
Welcome aboard

Good on you Wil, an exciting life of adventure awaits.

Whats your favourite airline and aircraft? I used to spend hours deliberating over that at your age (30 odd years ago)

hey Mattg

this is very much along the lines of what I would like to do but quite frankly it seems very far fetched for me at this point, any tips for me as a minor would be really appreciated

G'day bsb

It's a toughie, considering I haven't flown much in my relatively short existence. But of the planes I have been in I did enjoy the 777 (I feel as if this is an incredibly naive response). As for Airlines; on the purely sentimental factor that they have QANTAS still holds my heart, evenings spent sitting on the hood of the car by the airport watching planes taxi and take off are solidified in the red roo.
