Thanks for the all the responses folks. After much pontification I decided to give EI a bash and have booked on the 18th of May.(the price being 330 euro return was the deciding factor!) I'll let those who are interesed know about the flight.
Finally a last query -
Does anyone know what is the definite situation with the aircraft on this route - will I get seatback PTV's or is it the same as the JFK flights? and what are the load levels like presently?
Many thanks
