Just a small point if I may. The Birmingham 2 thread had reappeared briefly a little earlier and there was mention of increased Cork-Birmingham Aer Lingus flights next year. As much as it would be very welcome it looks like EI are to stay at 4 weekly on ORK-BHX for next summer. A pity as daily would do just fine. Beats me why EI want to put 5 a week on the restored ORK-MAN and leave BHX at 4 when Birmingham has a history almost always doing better than MAN from/to Cork. Ah, well, they know better at EI and as for the wisdom of having no Friday flight from Cork to Manchester my head is just spinning!
