Aer Lingus go through the same process of announcing new routes and increases in frequencies while also cutting back elsewhere. Just having a quick look at the booking engine for July seems to suggest that both Almeria and Bristol are being dropped (just looked at the first few detinations).
It would be sad to see Bristol go again - first route of the airline - also a great city as I found out for the first time recently and Bath of course. It seems like the same as what happened to Liverpool this year - go on a UK route for a while, drop it back from daily to 5 weekly and then drop it altogether. Hope I'm wrong about that. Id they aren't doing Bristol I can't see them doing Cardiff as they haven't been there in modern times. What are the odds that Newcastle will end up the same way next year?
