Hi all! I have recently had the good fortune to discover this forum. As a new member i am excited by the wealth of information and expert advice available here. I do have a couple of questions for all you seasoned flyers!

1) Could you recommend any threads or links that might be beneficial to someone who is new to this forum? For example, i have seen various abbreviations thrown around here that are obviously codes for various airports or frequent flyer programs. While i would no doubt learn many of them in time, it would be nice to know if there were a list or any faqs containing information or other resources that might be helpful to someone just starting out here.

2) What frequent flyer program is generally considered the best overall? My home airports would be LGA, EWR, or JFK as i live in Manhattan. Is one program considered better for domestic travel, or international?
I was fortunate enough to find out about the valuemags promotion just in time to get myself a couple hundred thousand miles and I really don't know where to put them. The only airline I have any considerable amount of miles in currently is AA (about 50k.)

Thanks for any help you can provide me and i look forward to contributing to this forum in any way i can!
