Why all the dicussion on TA pax from ORK travlling via SNN or DUB ?
Having used both SNN & DUB, my last three trips stateside have been via LHR. EI provide a good service to LHR from ORK, you have better choice and in all cases it has been cheaper that travelling via SNN or DUB. I'm assuming that if I found it cheaper and better - that I'm not alone.
The interlining agreement with RE is a bit of a nonsense, in the past where you had to get your travel agent to do the booking - one through-ticket made sense. With EI's agreements with AA or BA you can still easily book one ticket from ORK to the US. My prefered option is to use EI & VS and I've never had a problem with it.
If TA travel is to be provided from ORK in the future it is likely to be at a premium, (single airline - no competition) and at best serve some East Coast destinations such as NY & BOS.
Do you think people will pay a €200 to €400 premium to travel direct from Cork to the US? Even the most civic minded and proud Corkonians would find that difficult to swallow !
