Regarding DUB, it is very unfair to compare MAN and DUB to the USA. DUB is pretty much 'mini-USA.
But thats the point I was trying to make. Considering Ireland/DUB's links with USA, and the fact LHR has a massive USA schedule, we are not too far off their offering:
DUB has 2 daily CO B757 to EWR, so does MAN.
DUB has 1 daily ORD B757 with AA, so does MAN
DUB has a daily ATL with DL on a B763, MAN will have the B764 for most of winter
DUB has daily JFK with DL, so does MAN.
DUB has 6 weekly (winter) B762 with US, we have daily A333
DUB has 5 weekly? A330 to MCO with EI, we will have 10 weekly A333/B744
Extras:
DUB has ORD/JFK/BOS with EI
MAN has LAS with VS and JFK with AA and PK. Also many more charters to SFB
Rumour wise:
UA to start ORD from MAN, US to start CLT on B762 from MAN and AA to start MIA from MAN.
US also rumoured from DUB with B752.
See, not that bad really. Seat wise, yes DUB probably has much more, but schedule wise, we certainly aint lagging behind!
