And I thought I was a frequent flyer...

Today I came across this article on mileage runners, described by Wired as "a subculture of airline hackers who specialize in accumulating frequent flyer miles at low cost." Apparently they congregate on FlyerTalk to trade tips and information on how to accomplish their goals, as well as Trip Planner, where they can purchase rock bottom fares. I am on my way to check these sites out, hopefully to find affordable round trip airfare for two to Edmonton. To anyone who thought I was obsessed with frequent flyer programs, you ain't seen nothing yet!

I am the worst at collecting airmiles. I've been a collector since 1997 and I just redeemed points to get train tickets. I think I had about 537 points and it cost me 400 for the train tickets!
