Hello all!

I was recently referred to FlyerTalk by a gentlemen in the airport on my most recent flight.
I'm looking forward to understanding the community a bit more and hopefully contributing in the future!

Cheers

Welcome aboard, and happy travels! :)

There is a lot to keep track of and it's probably impossible to follow it all, so what I tend to do is to focus on the handful of subforums most relevant to me. Personally, that is the Air Canada/Aeroplan forum. A few others I check less often, but still regularly, include:
  • American Express
  • WestJet/WestJet Rewards
  • United/Mileage Plus
  • Car Rentals
  • Marriott Bonvoy

And of course, there is the highly amusing TravelBuzz, and I tend to rely on the destinations subforums when planning trips. Also, I find the "MyFlyertalk" function to be a great way of keeping tabs on conversations I'm participating in.

Those probably account for 98% of my FT browsing/contributing. Good luck!! There is a lot of knowledge and wisdom here, free for the asking :)

Hello! New member here!
 
Hello there folks! I’m new to this website, I’m very enthusiastic about aircraft (commercial side of course) and like to follow different airlines, more particularly Delta. I have a love for older aircraft in particular, such as the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, the MD-80/90 series, and any type of trijet that was in service. I’m looking very forward to asking questions and getting the others opinions on certain topics! :)

For curiosity sake, why do you follow the United/Mileage Plus and Car Rentals subforums? I really don't know much about those two.

First, welcome to the forum!

I follow the United and car rentals forums because they're relevant to my interest, United is probably the airline I fly second-most after Air Canada, and I tend to rent cars at most of the destinations I visit so the information I find there can be very useful.

There are many different subforums that cater to various needs, so be sure to check out the list to find the ones most relevant to you.

Ahh okay I understand why now, that makes complete sense. Thank you for answering my question and for your advice, I'll have to start following specific sub-forums then!

It's a good idea to do that... those are a source of specialized information that can help you with the airlines/hotel chains/car rental chains you deal with the most.

General subforums like this one (Information Desk) and Travel Buzz are good, but they are much more general in nature.

Good luck!

Welcome Kent.

I am not sure what "private letter restriction" means.
