Norwegian services will be operating from Terminal 1, no USPC to be availed of at either DUB or SNN.

Services on SWF and PVD drop to 3x weekly each for the winter from 7x weekly and 5x weekly respectively, which means that capacity is cut in half for the winter season.

Looking ahead to Christmas 2017, on the other hand, the quoted fares are looking really good. It's too soon for me to confirm I'll be visiting the USA, though.
Regarding your Xmas '17 planning - if you don't mind switching flights, you'd probably save a few bob jumping on a low fare to Gatwick then Westjet to Montreal or Toronto then Jet Blue down to Houston. Know it's a bit of switching but if slots aligned you could save a tidy sum over the Shamrock usual gorgement.

Have you seen Westjet's dispatch reliability on the 767? Very risky on a separate booking

Fair comment regarding Westjet. Could take Icelandair into Canada then switch to Jet Blue

Depending on price I'd look at FR/EI to MAN then the direct SIA flight to IAH.

It's on the A359 too if you're interested in trying a new type....

New Tower

The IAA have completed trials of remote tower technology and they seem happy with the results.

https://flyinginireland.com/2017/02/...ial-a-success/

Given that one of the requirements for the operation of the imminent northern runway at DUB is a new, higher tower, subject to regulatory approval/change, might this prove to be an alternative to a new tower, with instead a sensor suite installed above or alongside the existing tower building? It would allow staff to remain in the current facility at the airport, all be it upgraded to use the systems, with the technology being used to extend the view to the currently obscured parts of the field.

Just a thought.

New tower is happening, remote is just for ORK/SNN.

Remote tower technology for the third runway at Dublin is unfortunately far too sensible and cost-effective a suggestion to actually happen.

It's only feasible for quiet aerodromes during quiet periods. Dublin is far too busy and complex.

The Emirates A380 scheduled to arrive at 14.10 on 26 March on delivery from Toulouse Wonder if there will be an announcement of some sort. If the route does go A380 it will be 22.25 departure not the 13.50 one.

I'm assuming that would be due there being no other widebodies at T2 during that time? Would it block 2 gates with wingspan?

EK scheduled due out at 13.50, there would be two EI A330s and another due at to arrive at 14.00 and 14.20 but guess they could go to B if needed. If it does go to stand then it will be Gates 424/426 area as those were the ones with air bridge plans.

I'm sure only a select few pilots will be allowed fly it to DUB like I believe RY 16 ops require.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear! What I meant was if they did put it on one of the flights it would have to be the late one due reasons above.

Yeah sorry, in summer there is only two departures after 19.30 to LHR at 20.10 and 21.10 while probably only only a handful of short haul A320's arriving back between 21.15 and 22.30, the rest are largely 23.30-01.30. More less empty during winter at EK times as well.

Believe evening service is best service for people transiting beyond DXB so would be most logical.

Emirates have officially confirmed the visit now stating it's to celebrate 5 years which passed back in January.

EK 7380 XFW-DUB-DXB A6-EUQ expected on 26 March but date may change.
