RE the DUB night stop
I think that the reasons for the night stop being back is less to do with point to point traffic ie DUB-LHR and more to do with getting onwards conecting passengers on Star Alliance flights through LHR. The current timings of BMI from DUB preclude a lot of onwards business in the mornings. I would guess that is why the point to point fares are higher than EI on the route asd BMI look on the point to point as "petty cash" just to fill up the last few seats. I could be wrong but there may be madness in there method or is it method in there madness??
Oh on another note have you tried the new Victoria Sandwich Cake OMG yummy or what!!!!!!!
