For me, I love all the photos of the hard product, the food, the room, the background. It gives me a sense of time and place that is hard to convey in words.

QUOTE=BiziBB;9459672]Is there a place on FT for a few tips on making a catchy, succinct, entertaining report?
[Mods, I understand this isn't the best place for this; can you advise if you have a preference for TR-related Q&A?]
  • How do you guys do it?
  • Please note what you think is the essence of a great trip report.
  • Catchy title
  • Novelty
  • drama
  • Suspense
  • Black or blue comedy
  • Upgrades, compensation or free Krug
  • Spotting & talking to other FTers
  • Great personalities met along the way
  • Wow pics
  • Being the first to report on a special MR or error fare
  • Monster mileage run
  • Making a career out of flying (between meetings, of course) ... You know who I mean!
  • Great saves, comebacks and triumphs against the odds
  • Wit
  • ? ? ? ? ? ?
