The day is here, after weeks of discussion and debates, brainstorming and building, First2Board is LIVE!<\/p>\n

In just 45 short days First2Board went from zero to real! \u00a0It took a team of amazing people, and amazing bloggers to get to this point, and we’re so proud to be live.<\/p>\n

Why F2B?<\/h2>\n

As a former Boarding Area blogger I learned an extensive amount about growing a blog, finding a\u00a0niche\u00a0and reaching an audience. \u00a0After a year on Boarding Area I decided along with Dennis of Lufthansa Flyer, to strike out on our own adventure. \u00a0 Everyone has asked, why did we leave BoardingArea? \u00a0Very simple, we wanted to try something new with our blogs and Boarding Area and Randy were very supportive of that. \u00a0Our\u00a0niche\u00a0is going to be different from Boarding Areas’s and many of the other blog\u00a0aggregation sites\u00a0out there. \u00a0I will continue to read many BoardingArea Blogs and you should too! There’s tons of great content on BoardingArea.<\/p>\n

Our goal with F2B is to provide some unique, some new, some well known bloggers who have a focus on travel – travel experiences, industry news, trip planning, travel education, travel book reviews and who will share with you how they travel using their points and miles.<\/p>\n

Why are we different?<\/h2>\n

F2B founders made the decision to remain credit card affiliate link free and refrain from blogging about miles\/points earning schemes involving credit cards. \u00a0We made this decision for many reasons, but primarily because the web is flooded with these types of posts and we want to offer different content. \u00a0If you’re interested in learning about the best deals out there, what credit card offers you should look into, how to maximize your credit cards, etc…there are probably hundreds of opinions and blog posts on the topics. If this topic interests you, we suggest you visit The Frugal Travel Guy<\/a> site.<\/p>\n
