A pretty awesome movie about frequent fliers


I don’t know Gabriel Leigh, the guy who put this together, but I do know a number of the folks being interviewed.  And I have to say it is pretty much dead on accurate.  It is about 20 minutes long and tells the story of people searching out the ever more tempting search for miles, travel and discovery of new places.  But mostly just about the miles.

The bit around minute 15 regarding the Baht run is particularly funny.  Apparently being a frequent flier isn’t all that far away from being the world’s stupidest drug mule.  Having been called such at one point, I can relate.
