If you want the newer AC B763 then depart DUB on a Friday and depart YYZ on a Thursday.
Yesterday Emirates celebrated there first year on DUB-DXB route and carried over 220,000 passengers and over 10,000 tonnes of cargo.

Dublin passengers
Well EK have had a great year
It is true Other carriers have held their own
IMO BA are the big looser and their summer 13 scheulereflects this
down to max 5 flights a day , even last summer they took over BMI at 6 a day, for winter 12 announced 8 a day and that never happened.
EI sufferred too as LHR market is not growing even with BA brief interest.
AF have cut back on flight
TK have increased for S13 , so looks like all in all other than LHR the other routes and hubs, carriers are doing ok.
Possibly some hit on SAS too but maybe other issues there .
EI and ETIHAD link up should help keep some of the traffic off Emirates.
UA and EI is growing , far great transfers to EUR coming now from UA ex USA,
I think BA needs EI now more than ever as they have already re assigned some of their Dublin slots to other routes and EI really can help their LHR hub.
LHR was once the transfer hub of choice for ROI pax and this is now clealry gone to the ME . If BA want those 200,000 pax plus ETIHAD pax back then EI is the only player in town for them and LHR flights have to be made terminate in T5 .
ROI is a tiny market but Emirates and Etihad are sucking in NI pasengers too , away from LHR .
Cargois interesting as again BA via LHR used to be the first choice. SQ no longer do a cargo flight ex Dublin, not sure what impact ME carriers have had on AF cargo service , if any.
Interesting times but growth in DUBLIN is good to see.
T1 v T2 traffic is scewed a bit as EIR are T1 , a lot of flights and pax involved, also EI MAINLINE still have arrivals and departures from T1
I know these are counted as T2 pax but still it does scew any assumptions we may make.
I am surprised at FR as they really are not chasing LONDON traffic ex DUBLIN in the way they used to, STN LTN and LGW are not growing in pax or flights.

EK fly from regional airports in the UK so the days of those people having to travel to the likes of LHR to catch a flight are reducing and one could argue they probably won't need that extra runway. Perhaps that isn't such a bad thing?
If you travel with EK or EY from OZ, you only two hops and you're home. Who can compete with that?

too

LHR is a hateful place to be. Frankly it is little wonder that the ME carriers are doing so well, not having to transit there works wonders after you have slummed it in an economy class seat for the last 24 hours. As mentioned even UK passengers don't need LHR anymore with EK flying to many regional airports which would be much closer to most people.
The days of BA needing to provide a feeder service to pax transiting in LHR are all but over...

You hit the nail on the head there Chuboy. I fly regularly for pleasure and business and the last airport on the planet I will transit through is LHR. Between their extremely slow security lines, lack of courtesy and abysmal eating options it has to rate as the worst on the planet.

Just to add a little balance to LHR connections debate, passengers numbers for the first 10 months of 2012 between Dublin and LHR are up 25,220 over 2011.

Let's see what happens to those figures when EY increases to a 777 later this year.
Ohhhhh that's a BIG one.
Multiple daily EI and BA DUB-LHR = Meh
One daily Emirates B77W = Orgasmtasticmeheadscomingoffjustlookingatit
Spoke via hub to destination, they're both the same business model except one has way more money, newer aircraft, younger cabin crew, better AVOD and shinier Boeings and/or Airbuses. It's that or the Green Mile on Pier 6A at Heathrow (!) EEEK
