Have to say I travel to LHR with work and pleasure and I would always choose BA over EI all the way as baggage included the inflight service and the network links...
Would love to see EIR at BHD but would love to see true international routes from BFS.... I am flying to Singapore in Sept and currently I'm somewhere between BHD to LHR with BA then onward or Emirates from Dublin via Dubai...
If we had some sort of decent link in NI that would be great
