I don't think passengers will see much benefit from the move unless the aircraft always park at Pier E. The benefits will mainly come from the baggage handling side of things, with EIR flights utilising T2's system, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with EI (mainline) flights.

Aer Lingus Regional flights will operate from Pier B, passengers will walk through the old INS gates however a bus or two may be required for some of the first departures. If they kept using Pier A they could not be processed at T2.
Etihad will operate all A330-200 through thw winter, B777 only scheduled until 26 October, however EY may of no confirmed their winter schedules yet.
Turkish Airlines 10 weekly to IST continues through the winter, was planned to remain daily. From 30 March 2014 TK will increase IST 10 to 12 weekly

The DAA should urgently send someone over to Gatwick to learn how to run an airport with the interest of passengers in mind.
When BAA ran Gatwick it was a dump but it has now been transformed - I'm not saying perfect. The Security operation is geared to get pax through fast. On my recent visits there were about 15-20 people at each channel as I arrived. Within minutes two more were up and running and some pax were moved to these. I was through in about 5 minutes. Contrast that with DAA/DUB T1 where they have long, long queues taking up to an hour (someone here reported even longer than that a few weeks ago) with only 4 out of 13 channels open and nobody giving a highlanders. This is a completely unacceptable situation.
Gatwick's lounge seating has been good and their latest version upstairs is positively luxurious. Meanwhile at DUB you get seats of hard cold steel. God help your backside if your flight is delayed.
Whoever designed the toilets at DUB must never actually have travelled through an airport on their way to somewhere.
PS I started typing this before the previous two posts!!

CBP
Apologies if this has already been answered - I couldn't find it in a search.
What US-bound flights do not clear CBP in Dublin this summer season? Is it only EI's 2 BOS and 1 ORD or are any others (DL, AA,...) similarly afflicted? I may have a US trip coming up and want to ensure I'm only considering itineraries with precleared flights.
Thanks!

Yes everything clears apart form the above EI ones.
Delta have added a little more capacity to the 10 weekly JFK flights, currently all scheduled with a B763. It was 3 B763 an 7 B764.
Thomas Cook have added an extra weekly flight to Reus and Mahon on Mondays.
Mahon - 24 June-12 August
Reus - 17 June-19 August
Avion Express will operate both.

14 is downstairs area 13 is the last set of desks and it because of the internal baggage hall works.
Jack the plan was to go like T2 check in. Area 1 & 2 went with new security area and some may end up going with the baggage hall works. T1 departures relay needs work done on it.

Etihad A340-600 A6-EHJ will be one of many aircraft performing a fly past in Dublin city centre on 15th September.
The aircraft will be used on the normal afternoon MAN flight and use its down time performing the fly past at Dublin.

DUB MD
Can anyone tell me the name of the senior manager at DUB (I believe he is the de facto MD, but the title may be slightly different) who (i) is a Liverpudlian and (ii) was at BHX previously?
He is a friend of a family friend and I want to get back in contact, but it's a bit embarassing as I've forgotten his name!
Thanks all!
