DAA incentives
In fairness to Aerlingus the quality and price of their food is reasonable compared to the rip off prices at some airport restuarants. I agree that Ryanair's in your face approach to onboard selling turns me off. I hope that any incentives will be linked to routes that are capable of generating inbound tourists even if it's at the expense of Sun Routes.
There are plenty of Charter airlines available to take up the Sun Routes if the need arises. I suspect the DAA will call the airlines bluff and that few if any new routes will commence.
