Travel forums
 

Hello all

I'm doing a bit of research into travel forums. Please can you tell me which boards you frequent? (other than FlyerTalk of course)

Thanks

This is easiest the best business travel.Fodor's is good for vacations.Slowtalk.com is easily the best for Italy (although they do have info on other areas).There are many site-specific forums like a Bahamas and Vegas forum that are good to look up for specific locations.Cruise Critic is the best for cruise info.For me,FT is the only one I daily go to.

Thanks - hadn't heard of at least one of those - will take a look.

I use http://www.tripadvisor.com/ for user reviews on hotels. That site consolidates info from a variety of other sites so I find it a useful place to gather info.

I've found FT has come of the best-traveled, most-articulate folks whom I tend to trust with their travel advice. I only venture into other boards when I'm looking for something quite specific. www.madridman.com for instance is quite helpful when it comes to all things Spain.

I use a few:

lonelyplanet.com
lonelyplanet.fr
indiamike.com
bootsnall.com
routard.com/comm_forum_accueil.asp

I've been on a number of the one's already mentioned. Flyertalk is far and a way the best.

A few others I've visited on occasion (not yet mentioned) include:

http://www.travellerspoint.com
http://www.virtualtourist.com
http://www.attitudetravel.com
http://www.mlive.com
http://www.ityt.com
http://www.businesstravel.about.com

None are as busy or as good or as useful as FlyerTalk.
