    I have an Italian based associate (Milan) who flies *A around Asia every 6 weeks. As a 'One-Worlder' I am not up with the latest *A options. Currently, the company TA books the lowest cost point-to-point fares. However, there must be some RTW or circle fares that will improve his flying...

    Is FF-ing affecting your health ?

    Hi Guys, Thanks for the candid & informed responses to the topic. It seems that we generally fall into 2 camps : 1. Aware of the issue and responding intelligently to stay on track 2. Ignore completely - and pretend that all will be well Congratulations & all the best to the former. GCD123
