Following on from the discussion regrading Aer Lingus diversions mainly at Krakow. Todays DUB-KRK operated to/from KTW. Want to know why because there was no Ryanair flights at Krakow in sight...if there was FR flights scheduled it would be Berlin or Warsaw.

Anybody flying with Aer Lingus over the next week or so in the morning allow at least 2h before your flight. Was flying out this morning and the normal Aer Lingus check in area 29-52 was full with the queues movning over to the T/A check in area when I was leaving and they showed no signs of getting smaller just bigger. Desck 29 system for flights closing was not working as the level of passengers was so high with queues everywhere and EI staff trying to get passengers who's flights were closing out of queues to check in. I have never seen T2 so busy. Would of got a picture but hadn't time after spending so long checking in it was a run to my gate.
30 December will be the bussiest day over the period so allow a little longer.

.if there was FR flights scheduled it would be Berlin or Warsaw.
Generally the order that has been established for EZY/W6/FR for a Krakow or Katowice closure has been the following. This is bore out time and time again and all of the below airports are well able to handle an A320. If there was an A321 operating however then it would eliminate a few of them however.
1. Krakow/Katowice
2. Rzeszów
3. Wroclaw
4. Poznan (previously served by EI)
5. Warsaw
6. Lodz
7. Berlin SXF
Bydgoszcz and Szczecin I agree do not have the facilities to handle diversions in most cases, but occasionally take the odd divert from Gdansk.
When Modlin reopens and Lublin is open a while longer I'd imagine that Berlin will fall even further down that list. Wroclaw and Lodz have recently had new terminals built and are not even half full at peak time, whilst Poznan and Rzeszow are nowhere near full in the winter.

It was an A321 operating and EI will stop flying the route on 14 Jan but should return next Dec/Jan. If it was a normal day there would of bieng around 4-6 FR flights out of KRK at that time in the evening and I can't see it being KTW for EI then. But enough said about it now.

Etihad has confirmed that Abu Dhabi-Dublin was it's 10th busiest route in 2012:
Etihad Airways lifts over 10m passengers in 2012 | ArabianSupplyChain.com
No doubt the wave of emigration from Ireland helped, which is now topping 200 people a day (the highest level since the famine).

NQY
Maybe we'll have to wait a while for EIR to announce anything about NQY, would hope they would announce and Inverness route too.
Because remember last year ? Wasn't Bournemouth announced in like February ?
It would make sense to announce NQY as I believe EIR are getting their new ATRs next year

My girlfriend was due to fly on United's flight to Newark this morning, which was cancelled due to the aircraft going tech -- apparently some turbulence related issue on the inbound flight. Anyone have any more details than that?

IB and Spain
Targetting all those students coming here maybe,
always struck me as odd how IBERIA and other SPainish carriers let EI and FR fly to so many citIes so often in mainland Spain without competition ,
still it all helps Dublin expand

EI/AC Codeshare
Evening all. Have been following the site for a while and it's great to be able to embrace my inner nerd but am in the ha'penny place compared to you guys and your knowledge. I just like flying in big shiny planes 
A question on the EI/AC interline agreeement. I have read previous posts and press releases and it seems as if this will lead to a codeshare. But any idea how long this might take and is it worth waiting for?
I ask as I am planning a trip to YYZ with AC and if there is an option to book it with EI and get points/lounge access then I would be interested and may hold off booking if it were imminent.
Failing that, I will book with AC. From what I have read (particular thanks to Jamie 2K9), the plane will be an old 767 with no individual screens, etc. What are the chances of getting a newer plane or would that only be if there was an issue with old plane?
Please and thanks, and be gentle on a newbie
