I would like to suggest two sub boards for the subjects that crop up very frequently and 'clog' the main board with their repetitive nature:

1. everything related to low cost air travel
2. everything related to currency/holiday spending (be it cash, t.cheques or cards)

That way the people that don't mind answering the same questions over and over again (and get narky when other's suggest the 'search' function) can answer the same questions week in week out to their hearts content) eg:

I have been ripped off by (insert name of budget airline here) what can I do?
I have put the wrong name/date/age on my booking, what can I do?
Please explain luggage allowances and charges/speedy boarding/check in fees etc
Should I change my pounds to (insert name of currency here) now or later?
What currency is best for (insert destination here)
How much will I be charged for using my card abroad?

etc

well put a vote in for the budget airlines board, as i think that one is going storm into the lead in the polls,

early indications are *checks his swingometer* that it has received a large proportion of the popular vote...

I voted to keep it as it was, with a view to having a few stickies. Failing that it would have to be Budget Airlines.

I voted that the sub board should be deals and special offers, then its back to exactly how it was before, but the cheap deals will be easier to find (and it is a money saving forum after all).
I also agree that the insurance questions are also holiday planning, so should be on over here on the sub board

Wait, I've had a much better idea - I think DMG, Markymoo, Sturll and I should just adjourn to the nearest pub, get sloshed and forget about all of this! :beer:

You are a bad influence on me! Fancy another all nighter this weekend? :T

Now who's a bad influence?

I have voted for a sub-board for budget airlines - but only because my supremely forum-tastic suggestion of one for budget airlines plus one for currency/spending wasn't an option

all the budget airline lovers are voting to keep it as it was... nooo.... we need a budget airlines board...

I'll change my vote to budget airlines if you want me to?

The only problem with splitting the board in any way is that threads will inevitably still be placed on the main board (especially by the Ryanair rip off crowd), and threads just don't get moved when they should be, so defeating the object of the separate boards!

Yes to the 'airlines' sub-board, but do make it airlines in general rather than budget airline-specific. A 'currencies and travel money' one is a good idea two.
