Frequent Traveler University Coming to New York City, Returning to DC

Matthew Klint Posted onFebruary 14, 2018February 14, 2018 Leave a Comment

Frequent Traveler University is returning to Washington, DC and coming to Midtown Manhattan in New York City this summer.

FTU is a two days of expert-led sessions on salient travel topics and manufactured spending. It’s not only a venue to learn, but one to network with like-minded folk (let’s face it, we’re a bit of an odd bunch).

Why FTU? Isn’t all the information available on blogs or Flyertalk? Well, actually the answer is no. I know the manufactured spending sessions include information far too sensitive to blog about it. Even my own sessions on miles and points contain some tidbits that I do not feel comfortable writing publicly about.

It’s a friendly atmosphere where questions and discussion are encouraged. Fellowship is a highpoint.

Coming up this summer: FTU New York (Midtown Manhattan) in June and Washington, DC in August.

The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles is the most beautiful of all Polaris Lounges. Stay tuned for a detailed look and many more photos on the blog tomorrow. Well done @united.
@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

Nearly five years ago, I took a “break” from I Nearly five years ago, I took a “break” from Instagram ahead of the birth of my first child. Goodness, how time flies. While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
