Acronym help sheet?
I am just starting to read more detailed posts within the Airline mileage forums and there are lots of acronyms I am not familiar with. I looked in the New Member section and I don't see a list.
I am seeing airlines (i think airlines) called:
OZ and SQ etc etc
Is there a cheat sheet?

There is a glossary here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/glossary.php
Also accessible under the "Help" link at the top of the website.
It's not going to include every possible thing of course but is a start. It does include an airport code lookup.
Often it can be just as easy to google airline and airport codes, though...and sometimes other terms, too, for that matter.

Indeed, they are official codes for airlines.

Or, if you hover on HELP at the very top of each page, you should see a dropdown menu, and one of the items on the dropdown menu is Glossary and another is Airport Code Lookup.
