It does operate twice daily, it was the morning flight that was cancelled, tonights flight appears to be operating as normal. Not sure what would happen to pax booked to connect with USA flights.

Agreed. Of course they can't be blamed for unforeseen problems but hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. They can't be advertising these connections to the US if there's a chance they could get cancelled, due to tech problems, and leave people stranded. Might as well use BA if that's the case! I may be proved wrong and EI might have something in place, though.
Also, arran91, if you look at a few posts above and previous pages in this thread, you'll see the A321 has been confirmed for S14.
What's people's views on the TCX A321's anyways? Do you think potential fuel stops may put off pax? Or is this good for NCL?
Anything's gotta be better than LCL.

I'm just a bit peeded off because I passed on the chance to fly to JSI with the 757 (and then non stop back to NCL, the longest route out of JSI) on the basis that I would "Do it next year." I'll still go to JSI at some point but may consider Manchester because I want to feel that 757 power taking off there! 
may seem like a silly way to pick your flights like! Hahaha.

I understand your point but there is a difference between waiting 10 hours for the next flight to DUB and only having to wait for a couple of hours for the next flight to LHR. I do understand also tech delays are unavoidable but a delayed aircraft is better than none at all.
JMD6198, I thought we were getting 2 x A321s and 1 x 757. I was lead to believe CWL was getting LCL.

That would make more sense, I was probably wrong, and if we are holding on to 1 757, will flights like SSH and maybe JSI stay 757 for one more year as that would solve the pax reduction or tech stops.

LiamNCL, more than likely you will be flying there on an A321, probably via somewhere 3.5/4 hours down route, which should rack the total journey time up to about a nice 6/7 hours. Have fun

Dublin EI
To answer my own Question EI to Dublin Does not opperate in morning on Tue and Wed between 13-19 Nov. And the evening does not opperate on Tue and Wed from 6-11 Nov and again from 14-21 Jan.
TCX. I thought they had confirmed that 2x new 321s and a leased A320 was to opperate in summer 2014. Egypt flights to be non stop but capacity restricted.

Yeah thats what that said for me this summer as we were booked to go to FUE, it changed at the last minute just before you could choose your seats online, it changed to a 757 from a 320

TCBB was our based aircraft last week too , positioned out on Sat to Izmir operating back to LGW ! BB/BC seem like two of TCX most reliable 757s so always nice to see one based here

EI DUBLIN
Does anyone know the reason for this seemingly odd scheduling for certain very limited periods? At least it means you can book with some certainty for the rest of the time.
