Better search | Acronym overuse | Click bait stories

Searching can be very frustrating. One frequently gets way too many results or the message saying "too common term"

As we become long time readers we begin to understand the secret language (DYKWIA, TPAC, WFCBFC, ETC.) The glossary frequently doesn't have acronyms which leaves the great unwashed in limbo.

Many of the featured stories written by bloggers have provocative titles and lead you to content that is uninformed and sometimes even irrelevant to the title.

Standardize WIKIs. One airline forum may have excellent, up to date information on topics of interest while another has aged, hard to find information on similar topics. (See e.g. Delta vs. United)

Having said the above, I use Flyertalk as my primary source for travel information. It's not perfect, but it's worth the time to get to know it.
