Aer Lingus have tried Amsterdam, Rome (being dropped), Milan, Paris and I think Budapest. Only so much an airline can do. With the base dropping to 2 A319 and 1 A320 does that not tell people anything....Sun routes can't even sustain a A320 and only reason a A320 is staying for LPA, ACE, TFS which EI would do with a A319 if they could.

Aer Lingus also gave Munich and Geneva a try from BFS and they were dropped, those routes just don't work from BFS with Aer Lingus. Even sun routes and UK regional routes far outweigh anything else on offer from Easyjet so the market just isn't there for much else.
Bucket and spade routes might be boring but they make money.

And Belfast gets nothing just same bucket spade routes.
We are not getting a good share of inbound tourists on European routes, I fly frequently to Spain and I never see many if any Spaniards on the flights, but when I fly to/from Dublin there are many.
Obscure routes wont work with a large aircraft or without good inbound demand.
P.S add Geneva and Munich to that list of routes closed!

Aer Lingus can still exclude the handling fee from the full fare as its still just about avoidable with a Visa Electron card. These aren't issued anymore so Aer Lingus will have to come up with another alternative soon or better yet, just do away with card fees!

Was passing through DUB Wed. morning about 10.30am and noticed five (5) EI A320's/321? parked remotely near fire station plus 1 x Regional ATR. Two more A320's were "silent" at Pier A. Seems a lot of a/c to be idle at that hour of the day. Was this exceptional or have they "parked" a/c for the winter? (2 x FR738's also parked remote so assume these are 2 of the 80 on the ground).

Ryanair does not really "park" aircraft for the winter. Aircraft will not be utilised to the max throughout the day, longer layovers etc.
What you saw could well be some of the latest withdrawals from the fleet either.

I hope to take the family to the US for a holiday in late June/early July, does anyone know if there will be a seat sale (for that period) in the the coming weeks or will there be no seat sale for what is the high season ?
