EC261), just ad hoc posts in loyalty-programme-specific forums. Am I missing something, and if not might a dedicated forum be a good idea for generic questions about applicability of EU261 to all the interesting non-airline-specific corner cases?

I suppose it should also cover UK261 (the Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019), since currently the net effect is that the rules (and existing case law) are closely aligned to EU261 (though in the future the case law might conceivably diverge). So maybe the forum should be "EU261/EC261/UK261"!
Brilliant idea. The airline forums can still be referenced for anything that might be airline specific but for the generic approach(es) I think it's a great idea. Documentation of what case law applies in generic cases in one single place would be of benefit to all.
