On the go
Fascinating account of a compulsive traveler.
Up in the Air: Meet the Man Who Flies Around the World for Free
He only knows airports and airport plane life.
What is more, he is gay and he has a boyfriend. They often fly together. Even have sex in the plane.
I love this kind of thing. Not only weird fantasies but the dedication to live them out.
I traveled for a long long time and I get some of the attractions.
All strangers, all friendly service, nice surroundings, clubs, food (although many will not agree with this but note that he flies first class most of the time).
He is probably addicted in a strange way and if you are an addict then this is not too bad a way to do it.
In any event it gets you in Rolling Stone which should abolish his anonymity. A kind of suicide pact. His free travel days might be over.
However a lot of what he does is not illegal although the airlines continue to try to head him off and make it so.
