Cheapflights.com, the site that has helped travelers book flights and hotels for several years, has opened a new travel discussion forum on its site where no topic is off the table, be it good, bad or ugly.

“Citizen journalism is growing in popularity and people are now listening to what their peers have to say more than ever,” said Carl Schwartz, chief travel officer for Cheapflights.com. “It was important for us to create a forum on Cheapflights.com for our 3.5 million monthly visitors to share travel thoughts and ideas, as well as sound off on their travel horror stories so fellow cheap travel fans can avoid the same fate. And while they’re on the boards, if they learn about a new cheap flight deal to take advantage of that’s even better.”

The forum should bring some strong traffic to Cheapflights.com. Now users can congregate, ask questions, get questions answered, as well as having the keyword rich and relevant topics be search engine darlings.

It’s a wonder that no other major travel sites have made such a launch until now.
