In reply to rxgeek. I should visit Gary's site again one of these days.

In reply to Josh. Rome2Rio was just bought out today...for peanuts so I dont expect them to be around in its present form going forward.

Your last point is so on target!.

I have your suggestions bookmarked but not added here for various reasons.

wheretocredit – Well we fly for free 🙂 it earely happens we need to do this. Burned some cnb points on Emirates and Qatar flights for son and it was very difficult to decipher the ticket classes…so I asked on Twitter 🙂

The two flight ones appeal more to aviation geeks…I wanted my list to appeal to more sane folks 🙂

Sea61, I gave it another click and the amount of info is too overwhelming imho. For Greece most info appeals to British traveling there…London to Athens wtf! It always turned me off, it’s just a different personal taste.

I expect Amex to phuck up Lounge Buddy and I am shocked they have not yet lol.

GCMAP.com! How else would I know the IND-MIA-BAQ is the exact same amount of miles as IND-BAQ?

You have any “aggregate” sites you use? I like Travelbuzz.com, where the first is last (well if you’re TBB that is, ahem!).

I sent Mile Nerd a note about the Aeroplan card not existing anymore and the link to the TravElite card not being right. Interested if he updates his card list tomorrow.

This is a Good List — I think my own list would look quite similar.

A few other suggestions: WhereToCredit for advice on where to credit paid flights. FlightRadar24 for flight tracking. FlightMemory for logging flights. Seat 61 for train stuff. LoungeBuddy for figuring out lounges you have access to, although post Amex acquisition it has lost some luster.

The most remarkable thing to me, as I think about it, is how my list largely looks the same today as it did several years ago — for a hobby that attracts a lot of tech and entrepreneurial people I would have expected more clever innovation. Maybe everyone is too focused on building credit card recommendation tools.

In reply to Von Stroopwaffle.

In his defense, I have exchanged emails with site corrections many times. He was always appreciative. Easy to navigate and no ads. If it ain’t broke…
Been to Craigslist lately?

I am aware of Rome2Rio and Man in Seat 61. Good but not good enough for me to recommend. I should give them another try, thanks
