If you have a NordVPN server I should try, let me know.

Update:

I've been meaning to post this information for a while but keep forgetting. I have been using NordVPN when connecting to several (well over 10) websites that use CloudFlare as a security front end. Never had any issue with any of them. Makes me wonder what the requirements were for accessing FlyerTalk.
I don't use Nord often these days because it isn't doesn't work very well in China. As long as you have servers you're happy with on your travel circuit, I suppose it doesn't really matter if others get blocked by Cloudflare and/or FT. On the other hand, it's difficult to declare "VPN x" is solid on FT without getting a bunch of data points.
