The fact that Sharon and Spiff do not agree what the proper home for Ryanair/Easyjet (or other LCCs) is speaks volumes about the nature of the problem.

If those that you would expect to know FT better than the back of their hands disagree, what chance is there for us mere mortals to reliably identify where we are supposed to post?

The reality is that post on Ryanair and Easyjet are posted all over the place in European fora: BA, Flying Blue, OEFFP, Budget travel, related geographical fora such as UK&I, Europe,...

I have suggested to people in the past to post Easyjet-related questions in the Budget travel forum, only to see their questions left unanswered and less answered than in a far less appropriate place, like Flying Blue for instance. I'll think twice in the future about doing the same because it is ridiculous to direct people to post their questions in a forum which is supposed to be the proper forum if their questions are likely to elicit less useful answers than in a forum which is supposed not to be the proper one.

Now, perhaps that this would make Spiff very happy; perhaps nothing would delight him more than seeing questions about Ryanair/Easyjet unanswered since he seems to despise those airlines and ooze contempt about them through every pore of his body. I am not sure, though, that from perspective of the average FT reader, this is a particular helpful position. After all, FT is not supposed to be a beauty contest in which "good" airlines are rewarded with a forum and "bad" airlines are punished by making it difficult for FTers to find information about them.
