Talk:Airlines

From Wikitravel

[edit] Practicality

Having a list of major airlines and links to their web sites might be useful, but I'm not sure how practical it is to try to list all the cities they fly to. It looks like this is still on the "A"s and it's already a pretty big set of lists. Plus, regular flights get canceled and added quite often, so it'll be almost impossible to keep this up to date.

This seems like a bit of a Wikitravel:Slippery slope edging in on our non-goal of becoming a yellow pages / link directory. Majnoona 21:22, 16 July 2006 (EDT)

I can see a glimpse of utility in a Wikitravel Worldwide Guide to Airlines containing stuff like "airline x offers lots of leg room and a great VIP lounge at JFK" and "airline y's food tastes like styrofoam" but such reviews would have to be written in a guide-like objective perpective and I agree with Maj that it pushes us too close to becoming a yellow pages/advertising brochure. BTW, as for the current content, we can't copy from Wikipedia, remember? -- Ricardo (Rmx) 20:52, 22 February 2007 (EST)
