What other boards do your read?
This site has provided me a wealth of information and I am traveling smarter and more comfortably as a result of my participation.
What other internet sites do my fellow FT'ers read regularly for additional information on the travel/hospitality industry?

www.flyersplaces.com
A community board for recommending your favorite hotels, restaurants and bars. Very much like this board. In fact, you will find many of the same users (with the same user names) on that board.
Highly recommended.
(I wish more of the "what should I do?" "where should I stay?" questions raised on this FF board were directed to flyersplaces.com like they should be.)

Second the recco for flyers'places. I believe it's meant to be a supplement to Flyertalk, not a rival. People should check it for restaurant info; for one thing, you often get better, fuller reviews than people want to post on FT.
Planebusiness, of course, is a biggie, which focuses on the business side of things (surprise) sort of, anyway. You get lots of pilots, some other airline employees, some interested pax, etc. LexPax posts there a lot. I read occasionally.
Funnily enough, one of the most recent times I was reading Planebusiness, a topic called What other boards do you read was then current there. Flyertalk got mentioned a couple times as the best "other" board. But we also get called opprobrious names by some of the planebusiness guys.
Planebusiness guys often refer to another board as "airwhiners.net" - there are other opinions of it, of varying flavors, (wasn't this discussed someplace on FT recently?) but it does at least seem a good resource for pix of planes.
