Travel Lingo
This web site was mentioned by Jane Costello in today's Wall Street Journal "Business Fare" column:
http://www.hometravelagency.com/dictionary/
It's a useful on-line dictionary for looking up travel related jargon, especially abbreviations that appear in CRS (central reservation systems).
As a newbie here, I have already found some answers to some of the "strange" terms I've seen on FT boards.

I'm relatively new here as well and it blew my mind the number of abbreviations which I did not know. I saw that article in the WSJ. I have found that when I do not understand the lingo used here, I simply ask. People seem very willing to translate!
