For years airlines moaned and groaned about the travel tax, will we now see all those new routes we were missing out on? I won't hold my breath!
Ryanair may expand services after axing of travel tax - Independent.ie
Ryanair also welcomed the removal of the tax. It has long campaigned against air travel taxes imposed by governments throughout Europe.
While the airline didn’t immediately say whether it will expand services to and from Ireland as a result, aviation sources told the Irish Independent that the low-cost carrier may unveil additional services within weeks.

APD is far too much of a moneyspinner for UK Govt, unfortunately. Short term gain, instead of long term thinking.
And in the unlikely event they ever did scrap it, it would only be based on a date 5, 10yrs hence.

Am writing this while flying Dublin to JFK on an Aer Lingus A330, wifi 19 euros btw
Any idea why we had two security checks at Dublin ? that's three times this morning I've had to take my shoes off, I'm not moaning just wondering why.

The first one is the standard one that all passengers leaving from Dublin undergo.
Then, you have to have a TSA compliant one before boarding the flight to America. When you go through pre-clearance, it's as though you're boarding at a US airport. In theory, you could connect onto another US internal flight after this without a check. In practice, the layout of US airports never seems to allow for this.

International to international transfers do not exist in the USA (who knows why!) hence the need to clear border control and customs, pick up bags, go upstairs (most of the time), check in, go through security, then back to the gate. If you're lucky, your bags may be checked through, but the same palaver has to be gone through. AFAIK it's always been so.

Most American airports are set up for just that, as most transfer traffic in the USA is domestic to domestic.
For example, the last time I flew into O'Hare, I had to go out into the public area, take the people mover between terminals and go back through security. IIRCI arrived in Terminal 5 and left from Terminal 3.
