I'm not so sure this is totally true. There are common fees to avoid. I could envision some tips common to travel on all budget/low cost carriers such as how to minimize the weight of bags. If we have separate fora for each of them, it will potentially add a lot of fora, many with little traffic.

I would have suggested having regional budget/low cost airline fora, but a few of them (Norwegian?) are trying to expand beyond their own regions. If this continues--and if it works for some of them this time around--it could lead to confusion about which carrier belongs where, so I'm inclined at the time to favor a single forum for budget airlines and LCCs in the airlines/FF programs section of FT.
