Hi all. By way of introduction, I'm a Canberra resident, semi-retired - I still contract to Govt and jointly run a music recording studio, and do the occasional gig. I was a regular O/S traveller for Govt and Platinum QFF but now lifetime Silver and Red Velocity. Been collecting FF points for a couple of years and like the the tips given by other AFF members about how to collect and use them more effectively. The good part: under guidance, training, urging and the occasional bit of goading from another AFF member I have finally booked a mix of Business and First Class trips for next year to go sailing in the Greek isles, via Hong Kong and Dubai, all for a relative pittance! Cheers, Mike L (aka Don't Get Around Much Any More).
