    Hi frequent flyers,

    After lurking on here for several months, and finding myself visiting more frequently as my travel schedule increased, I told myself I should become more active in posting. Well, having just booked a MEL-SYD return and locked in enough SCs to hit WP by review date 30APR12, with today being a Monday and champagne being at least 4 days away, the next best thing would be posting my first!

    I am very impressed with the helpfulness of everyone on this site, and I've learned a great deal about the world of AFFs. I only hit SG for the first time last year, and with my company policy being economy, hitting WP was unlikely. However, with some AFF cunning (particularly learning how to go about JASAs), I am looking forward to hitting WP a few days before review date. Having read enough of the warning about being addicted to SCs, I keep telling myself that I can stop at any time!

    So, I hope to see you at one of the QPs over the next several months, and I'll be increasing my posting frequency.

    All the best, and thanks for the advice.

    Alex

    Welcome to AFF! And well done in being able to make WP with some cunning planning!

    Don't forget to post your travel too, that way you may find yourself bumping into a few AFF'ers in the lounge!

    @ Boeta and Nick, thanks!
    @ Maggies, I'm still QP for at least 2 months... Just learned what FLounge is and looking forward to it
    @ straitman, I look forward to sharing a tale or two in the FLounge
    @ Princess and JohnK, thanks also.

    Do people use 'Meetings and Social Events' discussion board to figure out where everyone is and whether paths cross?

    Yes.. Check out here:

    2012

    And inside you will see people post their travel plans for a particular month. some of us also enter our flights into planely: Planely and it will notify you if someone is traveling in the same time frame. As I use Tripit to record my itinerary, Planely will pull it in automatically when I log into it.

    Thanks nlagalle, I've signed up to Planely now and linked it to my TripIt. Very helpful.
