    If you fly that much (long routes, I assume), can't you get at least a silver tier membership in a frequent flyer programme and eat/drink in a lounge, too?

    I am a Silver Elite (with NW and KLM), but all that gives me is extra bonuses with miles and allows me to bypass the lines and board once they begin borading no matter what class I am sitting in etc.

    You have to pay for the lounges, and I don't fly through there often enough to even consider paying for a years membership.

    Negotiating things which are non-negotiable

    Speedreading

    Microwave cookery

    Finding 3rd world vacation deals which end up being amazing

    I make a killer Key Lime Pie-tini.

    :D

    I wonder how many of our bbs members (no pun intended) would be eligible to enter such a competition. Probably quite a lot. To be held on the evening of February 14. Bring your Anna Kournikova pictures or Girls Gone Wild videos. :)

    I'm an expert at nothing and ignorant about everything. Men who thought the world was flat were considered experts... so who were they to consider themselves experts. ;)

    Give me one good long post about the greatness of football and I'll blow away the competition.

    I'd like to say I'm an expert of video game related stuff, especially next-gen info, but I know I'm not, even though I wish I was. I got a lot more learning to do before I can say that with a straight face. Stupid unified shaders, SPU's, raytracing, and NV5X terms.

    Had it not been for G4, I probably would have been an expert for the TV show The Screen Savers, and maybe a few more, but G4 screwed up those shows. Now I don't have any tech show to really watch thanks to those idiots. I hate them more than EA and their buying of the video game world.

    I've become rusty, but I was an expert at Kung Pow quotes as well as stuff from Conan O' Brien, where I'm also rusty. I'm now trying to memorize Napoleon Dynamite quotes. In fact, I'm thinking about cooking some tator tots tomorrow morning so that I can take them to school in my pocket.

    To answer the original question - I think I am an expert with regards to maximizing benefits from frequent flyer/frequent guest programmes.
