FWIW - just as there's room enough in the world for more than one travel BB, there's room enough in the world for more than one travel awards. Neither the Freddies nor the Flyertalk Awards are the only industry awards out there.

Cheers.

This is the first time out for the FlyerTalk Awards so we should give them some leeway. However, the point of so many awards is valid and I think the FlyerTalk Awards should try to differentiate themselves to stand out. Perhaps some quirky or fun ones - I've long argued for a hall of shame category. That would get some pick-ups in the press.
