Thinking about starting a new travel website, www.onlinetravelresources.com.

In addition to news and tips, thought I'd put on a few search engines and maybe even earn the cost of maintaining site. I started with Travelocity. It said that I could not represent any competitor. So I looked at expedia. it said the same and wants $500,000 liquidated damages for any violation. Gosh those guys dislike each other.

Anyhow, links seem fine. Affiliations seem forbidden. Too bad because a site trying to give various options cannot limit itself to one engine.

So maybe no affiliations. My guess was that with luck I'd cover the $25 per month cost of the site.

I would like to direct link to various Flyertalk forums and threads bypassing the front page if permitted to do so. All links will be to flyertalk and will not be a frame or something within my page. Is this permitted? I will only do so with permission.

This project is pure hobby and will move slowly. Maybe I'll wake up before this becomes a bad dream. You know -- No good deed goes unpunished.
