What is Jetrosexual you might ask? According to a CNN article about a Virgin Atlantic Ultimate Jetrosexual Contest:
Ignoring borders and time zones, they make the world smaller with each journey, the company said, and it is these travelers that have made the airline a successful venture for Virgin.But that's not enough. There are 11 commandments to determine whether or not you qualify as the Ultimate Jetrosexual. See below for a complete list.
I don't think I actually qualify... I am a notoriously heavy packer and it's a bit of a stretch to claim I leave terra firma behind in order to move business and culture forward. But I am no chatty cathy nor do I own an inflatable pillow (it's a föm pillow, dammit).
A quick Google search indicates that this term is actually not so new. To quote Philip Sherburne's Blog entry from September 2004:
I may be a jetrosexual, but damn if it ain't giving me rugburn.
Indeed. Well, the prize for the Ultimate Jetrosexual Contest are two upper class plane tickets to London. And you know I am having quite the love affair with London this year. Deadline to enter is Sept 15...hmmm, that gives me just enough time to figure out how to order a beer in 2 more languages.

E-Marketing News Alert: Blog Readers Young, Rich, and Male
The citizen journalism phenomenon known as blogging has now reached the attentive and contemplative eyes of one third of the Internet population according to statistics released by comScore Networks.
Wow! I like your blog! I be back and so will my friends. Looks like you've found your niche.
I have a networking site.
Come and take a look when you get time.
I don't meet qualifications 2 & 3. I mean, I DO travel Economy Class, but because I don't have any choice - not exactly to keep myself humble.
