The AA 788 has been deferred to August as posted before.

AC change is a surprise.

There are reports of a fire in an office in Terminal One this morning. It doesn't sound too serious, but the terminal was evacuated.

Great Report!

Anyone know if Aer Lingus' direct San Francisco flight is always €2,500 return Business Class.

Trying to see about heading to California next year and prices on Aer Lingus are inflated massively compared to American Airlines via ORD.

What's the cheapest I can get this route?

2,500 is good value direct cannot see it dropping lower.

AA prices reflect their product.

At Christmas I booked out to LAX and back from SFO in July for less than €1,900. You need to be flexible, play around with dates and get in six months early but sometimes there are deals to be had.

Read today that between 05.00 and 00.00 runway capacity is at 87%, if you took away the free slots between 05.00 and 06.00 which will never really appeal widely to carriers (currently unused) then it will likely take it to over 90% during the summer months.

LH

In addition to extra daily MUC in winter, FRA will also increase from 3 to 4 daily with new 08.55 ex DUB and 07.10 ex FRA starting on 29 October.

I got quoted £1200 return for Boeing 787. That is a better product

If their OTP on MAN was anything to go by last year, that's pretty risky. Also most of the US major's business product ain't great domestically, JetBlue aside.

If you're happy with the product and it makes the best financial sense for you, fire away.

If you can get EI for under 2k though by being flexible with dates, I'd bite.

I've taken Aer Lingus Business Class and it wasn't much different, just a standard flatbed. Infact it was poorer due to the Flight Attendants disappearing for hours mid flight.

I would choose EI before BA, AF and LH based on experience of all three on 10 hour plus flights, however it sounds like the American product might best match your overall requirements.

If I was you I would worry less about what the Dubs are whinging about and worry more about your own ability to travel and pay for stuff in next coming years

BFS Watcher has a point, passenger numbers at DUB are only a miserable 6% higher than 2016.
I wonder if they will still need the emergency temporary boarding area under construction beside terminal 2.
