It depends. Sometimes the Amtrak forum when Amtrak is involved. Sometimes in the European Rail Travel forum, when European rail travel is involved. Sometimes the European and other train travel is in a region-focused airline forum. And sometimes it's in destination/country/regional forums on FT. And sometimes its scattered elsewhere in the forum when there is an airline/airport connection of some sort involved.
If you are looking for the FT equivalent for international train travel, not sure what that would be.

ITA Matrix software offers a useful filter. You will find tips on this thread: Upper Deck Flight Routes in One World Airlines
Specifically for the A380, only a handful of airlines operate it so it should be easy to narrow down if you have an approximate route in mind.
Google Flights also usually shows aircraft in the search results. Keep in mind that aircraft can change from time to time due to operational requirements.

Flights Edinburgh to Dublin
Sorry I couldnt find where to post this or how to start a new thread to ask a question.
i need to book a flight Edinburg to Dublin for the end of July, one way. It seems my only options are Ryanair or Aer Lingus. I have not had positive experiences with Ryanair due to the lack of Customer service support. But Aer Lingus flights are by ATR turbo props which Im not so fond of.
Any suggestions, please? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
