You can freely walk between the two terminals.

brilliant!! cant wait to see it now :) anybody KNOW what prices are like in Dublin Airport are they ott e.g. Cork?

As cheap as everything could be in Ireland!!

Shops in t2 are all top end brands so kinda pricey

Dixons is the name of the shop.

thanks for the info guys, does anybody no how much the DAA lounge access costs? its €20 for the WHOLE day at the Jack Lynch lounge in Cork...

It's costs €20 for 3 hours.

Lounges

New Air France by CityJet route to Pau, France every Saturday from April 2nd 2011!

Is the AF/WX route to Pau not from LCY?

Doesn't seem bookable from DUB at the minute on the website. It would be great if it was from DUB but i'm not sure cityjet remember they have flights from DUB despite HQ being in swords ;)

its only bookable on airfrance.ie

Since when was Dixons ever cheap!? I never get why people have the urge to purchase electrical items in an airport. But that's probably just me. I remember following Stephen Nolan on Twitter at Xmas and he did buy an Ipad whilst stuck at Heathrow!

Pso Routes
 

Any update on whats happening after July when the PSO money goes? Anyone interested in the routes does any of u know

To be honest i cant see the routes going ahead after the PSO contracts expire, after the blow Manx2 has taken i wudnt be suprised if they delay developments for another 2yrs, who knows though these things chop and change by the day! maybe Loganair could take an intrest but to be honest i cant see the DAA chasing up operators for DUB-> GWY, LDY, NOC, SXL

The DAA might not but if u transit thru DUB you get the extra money making LDY-DUB-ORK-DUB-LDY for example worth the punt if you sell it as through service via DUB but its more likey the regional airports looking for the business rather than DAA but business is business, its not the size but what you do with it that matters, the aircraft that is not the airport.

But i agree I would say those routes are a non starter especialy after the Manx2 incident, but throwing it out to you guys, other than manx2 are there any european airlines that might give it a go?

Would a bit of punctuation kill you? :hmm:

As far as I can make out, you're asking whether any other operator would be likely to have a go at a couple of the PSO routes on a commercial basis (with no subsidy) on the basis that they could sell one-stop services within Ireland? And something about the size of the aircraft not mattering?

1. No. Dream on. Sorry.
2. From the point of view of operating economics (=profit or loss for the airline), the aircraft size does matter. Believe me, it matters very much.

I am currently sitting in the Oasis lounge at JFK. On the outbound I went to the Priority Pass lounge at Dublin, which is also the temp lounge for Aer Lingus. Honestly its pretty pathetic. From what I remember, it was just a room with a load of chairs, a bar with drinks, and a few snacks. Compare it to where I am now and its so much different. The Oasis lounge is streets ahead of Dublin, even on a bad day.

Must admit I didn't expect that route.

So far this year 13 new routes will start. Hopefully a few more lather in the year.

any news if Primera will make a return to Dublin this summer?:confused:

Primera will probably never return as they worked for the old budget travel which went bust, not to be confused with the new one.

Europe Airpost seemed to have filled the gap.
