With EI launching the new Dub-Newcastle, would it not make sense to allow passengers to be able to book Newcastle-Dubai, as the dubai flight doesnt leave until after 5, and the Newcastle-Dublin gets in at 4? I think EI should try and push UK-USA traffic through Dub, as EDI, BHX, and BRS all lack links to Chicago, Boston and LAX, and Manchester lacks flights to LAX. Most people dont like having to transit through LHR, and DUB has US immigration pre-clearance!
