We found a great resource for travelers in need of expert advice.

The iPhone app and online community FlyerTalk prides itself as a source for frequent travelers to share tips and tricks for getting the most out of your next business trip.

At its core, FlyerTalk is just a message board. But what it lacks in style, it makes up in content.

FlyerTalk stands out because of its insider information. We found tips not only from seasoned travel pros, but also industry insiders like pilots and flight attendants.

The community is lively, responsive, and helpful. There are tips on getting upgrades on flights, scoring the most miles on each airline, and finding the best airport clubs.

And that's just scratching the surface of what we found.

The iPhone app is free in the App Store. It's perfect for quick reference on the go.

If you're not traveling, you can access the forums online here. It's not as easy to use as the iPhone app, but it is better for writing longer posts.

Here's the FlyerTalk icon. Tap to launch the app.

This is the log in screen. We don't have an account yet, so we're going to tap "Create an account."

Here's what the forum looks like. It's not pretty, but full of useful information. Tap the "Top" tab to view the most popular tips.

We found this cool thread about tipping etiquette in different countries. If you want to quickly return to this post later, tap the "Subscribe" button at the bottom of your screen.
