I had a discussion with a number of people on FT and there is a lack of full consensus about what the intention of the destination forums are. Are they forums to discuss:

a) how to get around, hotels, dining and sightseeing in the defined area

OR

b) are they all of a and also intended to be the location where the AIRPORTS within those locations are discussed -- not just construction, etc of the general airport but also airline type questions, e.g. what terminal do I arrive into, getting between terminals, customs, immigration, getting around inside the terminals, what to expect, etc.

For example (you can see my *A/UA flying habits here), if I was flying on UA to FRA and had to switch to LH, where would I post my question about getting around IN the airport? Or if I was flying UA into ORD or IAD and wanted to talk about getting through customs and dealing with the airport/getting around in the airport - where should that post go?

My take was always A, with the airport type questions usually posting in the appropriate airline where I'm either flying that airline or if there is two, go to the one that uses the airline as a hub ... recently it's been pointed out that those forums really should be treated as B which means myself (along with a lot of other people) are looking at FT forums and posting in the wrong forums. No promise I'll change habits but I'm curious on the take of the talkboard members on what is expected to be in these forums. Since you are the ones who define the forums, I'm guessing you are the ones to say what the expected content of each would be. Thanks!

Edited to add:

Forum definitions like this also tends to make me think A was the right answer:
