Good websites for frequent travelers
Any websites you frequent when travelling? I'm not referring to hotel and airline websites. Mine are:
1. http://aviationtoolbox.org/old/nearby_airports - enter in a city and it tells you the nearest airports. Note, commercial carriers serve only 300 or so airports while there are 5000 (?) general aviation airports but this website gives you a start.
2.http://adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov/ - US government weather website for aviation. Good for getting weather across the US. Of course wunderground.com is easier.
3. landings.com - aviation related
4. pollstar.com - concerts listed by the city in case I actually find myself with a few spare minutes which is rare.

If I am flying in or out of an airport I have not been to previously, I look to see if they have a website using http://www.airports.com/ and check my transportation options at http://www.toandfromtheairport.com/index.html .
