aer lingus
I priced Aer Lingus Premier DUB/DXB/DUB at 3400 Euro.
I was thinking of using EK from DXB to SYD.
On checking Gulf Business class I got it for
3200 Euro DUB/SYD/DUB (via BAH)!!!!
And AL Premier is NOT a patch on GF Business.
The CEO of AL - Derek Mannion - came from EK; one would have thought he would do a code share with EK. (Maybe EK are not interested?).
AL and EK do NOT compete DUB/DXB.
Anyway GF should become very popular for PAX from DUB to Middle and Far East and OZ/NZ.
Big Bonus? One avoids using LHR!!!!
