Aside from the fact that I used to be the WAS Airports Forum moderator (well, according to my title, I still am ), I believe that some of the restructuring of the forums & the combination of city/airport forums wasn't a good things for all areas.

I think that there should be a forum for cities that, in general, have multiple airport options. For example, the WAS area has 3 major airports. The WAS airport forum, as far as airport forums go, was surprisingly active. There were often tips on parking & in town transportation between airports & other general DC area aviation information. Currently, if you look at the MidAtlantic forum, it is primarily WAS area questions & answers. I believe that cities that have multiple airport options, such as LAX/SNA, NYC, CHI, WAS, MIA/FLL, LON, SFO, etc, should have their own forum. Some of these do already have their own forum under Featured Destinations, but for the ones that don't, maybe they should be created. If a city or region has multiple airports, chances are that flyers into those airports & regions would be better served on Flyertalk if there was a more specific forum.

Overall, I think the changes & organization was well done, but this is something I'd like to recommend to the TB. And I'm not just saying that since I used to moderate the WAS forum.

Thanks!

Perhaps Washington, DC should get broken out as a separate destination from Mid-Atlantic? Haven't looked at the actual volume of traffic to make a judgment here yet, but it doesn't seem on-face unreasonable...
