A few friends and I are trying to get flights to DUB lather this week from MAD. Every single flight to DUB is booked out until over the next while. I knew we left it late but not even a seat left with 3 airlines on the route. Is it generally like this.

For the next two/three weeks or so there will be very few seats available on DUB - NAD flights but some other Spanish flights also.
Around this time every year thousands of Spanish students come to Ireland from all parts of Spain.
Spanair, Swiftair, Aer Europa and Air Contractors some of the airlines bringing passengers over as well as Iberia, Aer Lingus, Ryanair.

would you not try to fly via SQC with IB or EI or via BCN/GIR with EI or FR. Bit of a long way round but if you really need to get to DUB this could be your only option.

Now that is a long way round! Maybe try SCQ instead to avoid the need for an Australian entry clearance?

Otherwise you could try via Oporto - skyscanner shows one-way MAD-OPO-DUB on Friday for €150-175.

Not forgetting Barcelona Cork with EI, Malaga Cork with EI and FR, Alicante Cork with EI and FR so how bad? Plenty of choice and then either a cheap bus, expensive train or a rental car from Cork to Dublin.

Cork Airport - small airport, big heart as they used to say!

Eithad are using a B777-300 on this afternoons arrival and tonights departure.

The transport minister has delayed the scrapping of the travel tax until all airlines release there winter schedules.

As in the Irish Minister of Transport? Only too right he waits until all airlines publish their winter schedules. Otherwise he's giving them something for nothing.

Eithad are using a B777-300 on this afternoons arrival and tonights departure.
This was a direct swap for the MAN flight. EY ran the newly painted A330-200 in MCFC colours for a photoshoot during its 5 hour stay between the EY21/22, so, as the sector times are similar, the B777-300 was sent to DUB instead.

Do Aer Lingus not use T2 in DUB. A number of flights are arriving at T1 tonight. Anybody know why?

They use T2 but Aer Lingus said that they may need to operate some flights from Pier B in T1.

If the website says EI flights will arrive in T1. They will but passengers will not.

The aircraft will arrive on stand in T1 but passengers will do customs and claim baggage from T2. There is a walkway for arriving passenger at Pier B to get to T2 arrivals.

EI have a lot of flights arriving after midnight and stands are a problem.

Hmm. That doesn't sound too clever as it means that pax will have to walk from T1 to T2 and then walk all the way back again with their luggage to catch the buses to the car parks or various parts of the country. What is stopping them using T1 if that's where they'll be arriving?
