Hi @Atsukot,

Wonderful photo!

I am thinking if travel related price discount info is OK in here or not.  Like flash price cuts from Airlines.  Special discount for theme parks, etc.

The problem is, it can be too close to commercial advertising.

Thanks for the tips @Atsukot 

@YK1001

I wonder if this post written by me is eligible for travel board. Any help or guidance would be appreciated 🙂

Hi @Haseeb,

At this moment, each of us is still new to Connect 2.0.

And this early access period is meant for us to use it so that the Google Moderators team can collect early feedbacks.

I will say, if you want to post, just go ahead to post it.  Then we can learn together if certain post / kind of content is suitable or not.

I am sure @Atsukot will not mind we are making silly mistakes in this period of time.  She will happily guide us as we needed, it is what she is always doing for us.

Thank you @YK1001 

You are indeed a great moderator 🙂

Thank you so much!@YK1001, I understand that discount information may be helpful, but we don’t encourage LGs to share any information that may seem related to advertising/promotion. It is ok to give advice on "how much a subway ride costs in New York?", etc., but it is not ok to promote companies/websites where people can buy discounted tickets.   

Hello @Haseeb, I couldn’t agree more! SampsonF is a great moderator 🙂 Please go ahead and publish your post in the travel section. The post looks great! 

Please play with a new home of Connect and let us know what you think!
