Amazing increases, especially given the current capacity on the AMS route.

Aer Lingus must be feeling it.

All 3 are more less doing well, it went from 8th to 4th bussiest route last year and chances are it may even move to 3rd (MAN currently) this year. EI still have some big ticket passengers on the route + T/A + other carriers using them.

Believe KLM are averaging 85-90% with a lot of short haul connections.

Not sure AF own equip will be operating CDG from October either as scheduled.

EI has been milking passengers on that route for years. A few years ago I had to travel to AMS at about a weeks notice – and ended up paying more for an AMS round trip then a JFK round trip a few weeks later.

Dons't look that bad.

Two Chicago arrivals today, scheduled?

You mean 2 EI Chicago arrivals?

Also, I don't see two.

Referring to AA?

Fridays evenings 18.30 departure ex ORD was delayed 22 hours until 16.30 yesterday and yesterdays regular 18.30 ran as scheduled hence two arrivals.

They cancelled yesterdays 09.55 ex DUB which will take any passengers who have not transferred to other flights back tomorrow at 10.00. One assumes the 28 hour layover is for the same crew to bring the aircraft back.

Surprised they didn't cancel it, they have transformed themselves in 3 years.

Reported in the papers senior management from Hainan are due back in DUB next month.

Yeah it was AA, just didn't see it listed so wondered if it was a charter.

At short notice they all screw the customer. AL, KLM, RYR............

So just for the heck of it, I priced a round trip into AMS in three days time – Wed 24 May outbound, Wed 31 May return, using the cheapest flight from each airline.

Aer Lingus: €199.98
Ryanair: €54.98
KLM: €246.72

The flight I referred to was booked at about a week's notice, not three days, and cost €770 round trip. The entry of Ryanair into the market is thus extremely welcome.

Noxegon

FR are load factor driven and have lots of seats to fill on those dates, they are not charging low fares for no reason.

Enjoy FR on AMS while it lasts ;)

Are you saying FR will be leaving the route? Not what I've been hearing, infact I've been hearing of an imminent increase.

Always delete your cookies before checking prices on an airline website too. They do keep tabs on you.

Example: Buddy of mine working in Toronto, on Rte, Independent etc websites everyday, quoted over a grand return on all 4 airlines serving YYZ on dates he looked at (about a weeks notice). Deleted his cookies, quoted €510 by EI and ROU, slightly higher for the other 2 on the same dates. Dirty barstewards.

Not for now, but it's future has a question over it. Only time will tell.

Air Canada will resume YYZ from 30 October using a 292 seat A330-300 (3 class) replacing Rouge. They are saying it's to cater for business travel growth on the route.

The stellar growth on YYZ continues, do EI revert to B752 in the winter or will the 330 be sticking year round?

Keep the A330 and add extra weekly.

American are upgrading the ORD route to a 787 also from July 5th to October 4th .

I can't find this on the American airlines website at all. Please provide evidence.
