Thanks EI
Shame that, looks like they'll need the extra capacity sooner than they thought. Will just have to lease a couple of extra 330s for 3 years perhaps.
Better to have too few seats than too many.
U.S. Pre clearance has been a god send for DUB and SNN
Don't agree about US Pre Clearance, yes it's good facility but EI don't market it when selling flights because they can't guarantee it will be available for all flights as the US could reduce it at any time.
The expanded facility at DUB is major improvement to the experience and the increased staffing is great for passengers.
I think what wins for EI is the fast transit times and ease of transfers while there product is reasonably good as is the price.
