Dublin to US questions
Hi all,
I have a couple of Dublin related questions, that I'm hoping one of you lovely Prruners can answer for me.
The missus and I are flying from Edinburgh to Boston via Dublin in August. Connecting flight is a code-share with Aer Arann and the transatlantic leg is Aer Lingus.
I am pretty sure the Boston flight will leave from Dublin T2. Will the Aer Arann flight come into T2 or will we need to change terminals?
Will we clear customs and immigration in Dublin? I've read reports that not all flights do this.
Finally, can we book a business class lounge in Dublin. We have a long lay over on the way back so we wouldn't mind paying for a wee bit of comfort.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Delight.

You will arrive in T1 from EDI. Boston will depart from T2. It's easy to go between Terminals.
If the Boston flights is departing at 14:10 you will clear immigration. If it's departing at 11:00 you will not clear immigration.
You can book lounge access when you go to manage booking on Aer Lingus site.

Dublin - Glasgow Int & Prestwick
Interesting to note that FR Dublin/Prestwick significantly down (-30%) in March 2011 compared to March 2010, and AerLingus Regional up strongly (+30%). It would seem that the smaller aircraft is a strong weapon against Ryanair's 738s!!!!

How come the early one doesn't have clearance and the later one does? It doesn't seem to make sense when the USCBP officials are on duty from earlier in the morning with DL and CO departures not to mention their own 105 to JFK which only departs 30 minutes before hand. I'm shocked and disappointed that EI are not using the facility to its full potential.

Ryanair dropped capacity on PIK-DUB so outwith the FR service the market was forced to pay way more to fly on a smaller and slower aircraft with RE. It's not that RE is better, it's more frequent but also slower and more expensive than the A320 it replaced, it's just operating at times when the market needs to travel, something Ryanair are forgetting.
People are not choosing the ATR72 out of choice, they are doing so because FR are shooting themselves in the foot again. I think they are losing the ability to deal well with some of their more mature markets which will have impact as the dash for growth ends. The bit that's missing is whether the drop in capacity means that FR's DUB-PIK is operating at a better profit and the same for RE. Damn commercial confidentiality!

@noxegon Jamie is saying that the flight that goes at 11am is not covered by us cbp but the 14.30 flight is. so it's not to do with the limited working day.

BOS flights
The morning flight EI 139 does not use USCBP and only departs 3 times a week. The later flight EI 137 does use the facility and the flight is daily. AFAIK the reason for the 139 not using it is due to congestion, there are a lot of flights leaving DUB for the USA in the mornings.

I would sell both Cork and Shannon as to ensure healthy competition, and I think ORK would do best out of this. I wouldn't however sell DUB until the benefits/negatives were realised from the selling of ORK. Don't know how Shannon would fair though.
