I know its an April Fools Joke, but if Dubai did get the DUB code, what would Dublin use?
All airline reservation systems can handle the ICAO codes. Time to discontinue the silly IATA codes and end confusion and baggage misrouting.

Why, I much prefer IATA codes, they front have that silly E on front of them. For anyone that's not a pilot, chances are they are about 20 times more likely to know the IATA code for an airport. I know only EINN and EIDW, after that I haven't a clue about any others.

AA drop 763 plans for JFK, since beginning the route it hasn't performed at all. Guess EI's new morning departure hasn't helped them combined with DL and EI overall product, surprised they get any passengers at all. Bargain basement route of all operations to NY! Still really strange that CLT gets A332 from a 752 a year ago. Many expected it was only in schedules temperately.
If they are not careful UA may cause big damage to their ORD operation...
Then again AA will most likely exit JFK if EI become part of IAG.

AA were flip flopping between between B752 and B763 last week, couldn't figure out why initially. DL were also switching between B763 and B764, any ideas which of those is scheduled for the summer?
The only people who seem to use AA on JFK or ORD are people from the UK using their avios.

AA 763 was for a brief period during peak season.

DL used B764 to JFK today as well as the 763 to ATL. Wonder when that'll change.
Because?
I guess the 752 is used in the quieter parts of the summer and larger aircraft in winter when they only have 3 NYC flights a day to compete with as opposed to 6 in the summer, plus larger aircraft on PHL.
The DL B764s are used on LHR etc so I'm guessing their cabins are amongst the nicer ones they have. The 763s they used on ATL in the winter tended to have older cabins, no ptvs etc.

B764 - 40/206 - 246
B763 - 26/200 - 226 & 36/172 - 208 (Majority have capacity for 208)

Read on another forum that LX operated an A330 into DUB this morning, any ideas as to why? Would've loved to have seen it!

The B763s to LHR are refurbished with lie flat beds the same as the B764s. They have the first three cabin windows blanked.
Easy to learn, that's what google's for, ICAO codes are also descriptive so OMDB is clearly not in the same country as EIDW.
I know only EINN and EIDW, after that I haven't a clue about any others.
Frankly I think technology will eliminate the need to even have codes printed on bag tags to read before we come up with a way to get people to remember codes properly

ICAO codes perhaps. IATA codes are pretty much redundant. But this was never on-topic to start with.

Why are IATA codes "pretty much redundant"? Doesn't appear to have made the news.....
