Hello. I'm Ché, card-carrying Jetrosexual-at-Large, and I'd like to welcome you to Salón Internacional: virtual departure lounge for those hip, urbane wunderkinds who move business and culture forward.

Contrary to popular opinion, the jet set is not an exclusive domain limited to those with exorbitant amounts of money or power. Jetrosexuals can come from all walks of life and socioeconomic situations. All it takes is a little creativity, a little attitude, a little internet surfing time, and a lot of get-up-and-go, and you'll be in the mile-high club before your luggage even makes it onto the plane.

The term jetrosexual was coined in a 2005 marketing campaign by the UK's Virgin Atlantic Airways as a way to put the glamour and excitement back into air travel - to spawn a new Jet Age, populated by a group of "high fliers" whose mission is "to achieve greatness" and "raise the bar in their industry or simply succeed where no one else could." These go-getters who get around were dubbed jetrosexuals. Well, we here at Jettin' have appropriated that concept (giving Virgin full credit) as a way to encourage more would-be adventurers to get up, brush the potato chip crumbs off their trousers, and get themselves to the nearest airport to advance their own professional objectives or to add a little flair to their otherwise vapid existences.

Here you'll find out how to score cheap airfares, pack appropriately for a two-week hot- and cold-climate voyage in the same carry-on, elbow up to VIPs in the airport Champagne Room, haggle for the best price on that souvenir Incan death mask, and much much more. Soon, you'll be telling us about which business class service has the best merlot and why only slackers fly British Airways (that was a joke, BA).

Whether you're already a platinum elite plus member with enough miles for a free first class ticket to Alpha Centauri, or you're a Customs and Immigration virgin, there's sure to be something you'll find of use or interest here at Jettin'.

Please check back regularly, as the information here is subject to frequent change and updates. You don't want to be the one who missed out on that sweepstakes for a week in Paris gratis because you forgot to stop by and speak to your friend, Ché.
