|  Idea for a new forum
What do you guys think about creating a forum for layovers? It could be a sort of city guide to various locations. People could post restaurant recommendations, fun things to do and so on. |

But it might be a good idea here as well! | |

No one here paid attention to my suggestion  Coincidence? I think not! 
But seriously, I think it's a great idea!

I will buy the website and start the forum and you and I will post. We will both be admins. What do you think? | |

The problem with the layover forum is that Crew Hotels are a bit of a security secret for various reasons. In some cases it would be hard to give area information out with out giving away the location of the hotel. | |

Any Joe Terrorist could sit around airport hotels and figure out whatever he/she wants to know anyway. Besides, I've seen you airline guys mention your hotels on here and other forums. I think this idea is aimed more at restaurants, bars, fun activities, etc...

http://www.yelp.com is a good place to get started.
Doesn't cover every city, but you can write whatever you want. I've already done a couple. A good friend of mine runs the Austin community.
