What I understand is that Cathay are doing well from a revenue perspective, with good loads in business too, and Hainan getting soft uptake in business class...

Shenzen is a response to Cathay's Hong Kong increase in frequency. Shenzen is close enough to Hong Kong.

Can anyone explain why? Arrived at Dublin on EI from LHR, parked out near T2. All get off the plane, walk on foot into the (totally empty) terminal, directed left to wards the east end, exit outside again and board a bus which then takes forever to drive right round the airport and drop us off next to the US immigration area - about 300 m from our aircraft.... I mean - why not a bus direct from the plane to the gate???
last time I saw something like that was at Dubai

Pretty Third World (or Aberdeen) IMHO - this is the 21st Century - buses should be an emergency measure only. The SLF , as usual, come way down the line cp "financial considerations"

Both will be a new experience, having used Norwegian I can't imagine anything much more basic and that was fine. Reality is nowadays we sit on a low cost airline for 5 hours to say Cyprus with no inflight meal or entertainment, no free hold baggage, no free allocated seats, what's so different when we spend an extra hour or so to the US?
