Default Fly2lunch.com is live

This message was approved by Doug.

I just went live with a new website, http://www.fly2lunch.com. The intent with fly2lunch is to have a free & easy to use site where everyone can share flying places to go. It?s usable on either your desktop/laptop or your mobile device.

For now there?s only the ability to add & search restaurants. Eventually, I?ll add the ability to review & search other things to do in & around airports. I have the entire US database of airports already there, but there?s a severe lack of restaurants in my database.

So, please do me a favor & click the big ?add a restaurant review? button. Then sign up for an account (to help me keep the spam on the site down) and write a review of your favorite restaurant.

Many thanks to the beta test team. Anyone?s suggestions, of course, are welcome. Enjoy!

Very cool, Groucho! Nicely done.

Where's the next SoCal lunch fly-out?

Thanks Sharpie! We definitely need to figure out where the next fly-out will be. I vote for one of these places:

Very cool site/idea. Much better than that overpriced hamburger site. C'mon southeast folks, get your reviews in there. Need more places to fly. Added LZU, PDK and PLR today.

Default Restaurant Review

Groucho,

I placed a review of my recent cross country from KAWM to KFLV which allowed me to stumble onto a nice airport/restaurant. M17 in Bolivar, MO is one of those airports that you like to go to just to see the activity. Lots of characters wandering around.

Glad there is a website to search for the next air mission.

Default Closed

Just an idea for the site. You should have a way to remove or note the resturant is closed. I went to a other hamburger site and found a review did the flying and found the resturant closed 4 months earlier.

Data need to be kept current or it is kinda worthless.

Just my .02$.

Other than that the site is a great addidition to my favorites.

I totally agree & it's already on the to-do list. Until I get that implemented, when you stumble across a closed restaurant, just enter a new review with a rating of 1 and write "Closed" in the review block.

Thanks everyone!

Default Cool

Thanks for the info on how to note a closed resturant.

I can't wait to go to lunch now! I added a couple places and keep checking for places I've not been.
