There exists a parallel universe travel forum, Traveling Better, that until a post by the most productive man in the world, was hidden to me. It looks like FlyerTalk but wrinkles in time-space cause certain discrepancies.

Traveling Better is just a forum for jonnyc who has some great insights into AA – and is banned by the lunatics in charge of the asylum that is known as flyertalk
In fact a lot of their forums seem to be dead..
I’m a member. The board was started several years ago as a mirror to Flyertalk. Some thought FT was out of hand back then, so the board was set up. Some activity initially, but over time it’s just a limited audience. Think Milepoint offshoot (at the time), but membership was not open to everyone (to keep out how shall I say) some posters that may have been troublemakers. That’s a very broad generalization, but you get the idea. I still peek in every now and them on TB. Flyertalk still leads the way for me. Milepoint still has a ways… Read more »
