For my situation, the Alaska Airlines Lounge Thread serves as our default "Geographical Social Group," but that's largely because the AS route network means that most people who frequent the AS forum are in a relatively confined geographical area. This is not really an exportable model to the other major airline forums.

Perhaps something better will come along in the future...
