Is Supersonic Transportation in the Future?

Author: The Gate, September 29th, 2007

YClass is a FlyerTalk member who laments never being a passenger on Concorde when it was actively flying.

Speculation and wishes fuel the discussion in the Concorde 2.0 thread for a new method of supersonic transportation to replace the now-defunct Concorde aircraft, which many FlyerTalk members agree was an engineering marvel, as well as what it will take in terms of finances, effort and technology for a new method of supersonic aircraft to become a reality and come to fruition.

An FTer birthday this week - a happy birthday for stimpy on 1st October.

Jenbel and chrissxb have set up a fantastic consolidated do thread.

New news - FFPs to be sold?

A report on a trip - business class London to Delhi on Austrian and Lufthansa.

Something from the talking heads, err Talk Board - a modified proposal for an airlines of India forum.

Something random - zrs20 reminisces about his first FT post on the United forum. What was your first FT post about?


The things you do for miles

It’s a sickness. But just in case you don’t want to be cured (who does?), here are some more ideas.


Miles & More overdraft

Author: The Gate, September 27th, 2007

An FTer has received a letter about repaying their mileage overdraft and comes to FT for advice. It is an unusual case since most FFPs do not allow (significant) mileage overdrafts.

Need to Plug In? Become a Furniture Mover!

Author: The Gate, September 26th, 2007

You too can table the motion of whether or not to become a furniture mover in order to effect a power play in your hotel room. Become the chairperson of your power trip on your own ac-cord! Simply report to the Bureau of Furniture Movers to Plug In an Electric Device at the Moving Furniture to plug in my laptop thread, but do not be shocked to find other FlyerTalk members current-ly in similar situations.

Hopefully you will find an outlet for your frustrations regarding this issue.

Author: The Gate, September 25th, 2007
