I know most people here are only interested in long haul First Class reports, so I don't even bother now.</font>
Although we all love flying in International First Class, a significant number of us are busy flying domestic legs, either for work or for pleasure. Your domestic flight reports are relevant. I remember one you posted from JAX up through MSP and OMA and back through Florida with a WN leg. I really enjoyed your report!

Seat 2A, sorry to bore you I think I'm the only one on FlyerTalk who actually posts tech details, and noting your list, looks like a direct pointer to my posts.</font>
Justin, I really enjoyed your recent report about MEL-AKL-CHC r/t on Air New Zealand. As for including technical details, Go For It! I'm the first to acknowledge that I'm not the only reader out here and that we have many different interests here. The fact that I have little interest in the technical details hardly invalidates them. We have alot of people at FT who are pilots or just appreciate that kind of detail. I certainly did not want to imply in any way that I am against the inclusion of this kind of detail. I just skip over what I'm not interested in anyway while others drool over it. One man's iron is another man's gold...

Finally, just so we understand where I'm coming from again, let me quote myself:

I mention the above items that I have no interest in not to demean them but rather to highlight them. Although I have no interest in these things, some people definitely do. And of course, some of the things I’m interested in may be of no importance to others. I’m certainly not promoting the inclusion or deletion of anything here but rather, in the interest of perhaps improving my own reports, I am curious:

What aspects of Trip Reports are important to YOU? What isn’t? Why?

I'm not saying that I or anyone else will necessarily follow suggestions garnered here to the letter but if, for example, alot of people indicate a real interest in reading about airline lounges or descriptions of preflight service, I'll try to add a little more detail on those things to my reports.
