A pal of the family is due out to SXF in the mornin' and even as late as Monday evening the outbound fare less taxes is just Euro 29. Kind of troubling when the fare is so relatively low? Mind you, the reduction to just two a week to SXF from four a week in the period from January to March does not help due to lack of flexibility with days. Sure, it is a matter of managing the scarce resources by EI but you would think they would have at least left Berlin at 3 a week to give it every chance of working for the summer and that it will not be an opportunity lost?
The mess over Manchester has all ready been discussed. Let us hope that the EI planners in Dublin give a bit more credible thought to Cork once this summer is out of the way and that a better plan is sorted for the autumn and winter season.
For the summer IT season on Sundays it looks like both an Astraeus 757 and Monarch 757 should be both sharing the Cork ramp around the same time. Nothing too wrong with that.
Fair play to Aer Arann for plugging away and not yielding to Ryanair. If nothing else Cork people love the underdog in the might of such a foe in the RE vs FR battle!
Who knows, I might even try DUB myself!
