But hang on this isnt a daily 777 to LAX !
With a transit flight we are only talking 75-100 seats twice a week tops are we not ?
Stick a flight on to Los Angeles at cheapish rates and even though Ethiopian are not exactly a household name I suspect most punters would not have a clue who they are flying with or care even less.
And are there no opportunities Eastbound where there is bound to be a modicum of interest.
I revert to original question would we not be better placed than DUB, given this formula that said I do accept pre clearance is a major bonus.
ON this basis , if precleareance is a deal maker, does that not also kill any chance of a thru MEB flight as well ?
