EI DUB Timings A mid afternoon 'one off' DUB flight operated by EI has always baffled me. The timing appears unlikely to attract much in way of business traffic, on a route upon which RYR had the volume pax, though ironically their timings too are far from perfect. It is very frustrating as it has been noted on previously, DUB has a US customs clearance facility, and in EI's previous life their NCL timings fitted in with their daily DUB - NYC flight. Given that LHR's image is if anything worsening, and lack of a direct NCL-NYC then EI appear to have missed an oportunity. I assume that a factor for EI to promote such a service with tolerable inter-connection timings would require DUB - NCL twice daily, and with overcapacity already existing it would put EI in an unenviable head to head with RYR.
