If you are starting your training as Ryanair cabin crew then this is how you save money : dont even start. To quote Mr o leary " cabin crew are like lemons, squeeze them dry then get another one. "
I have seen the contract that they sign after they finish training, they own you.
Have some respect for yourself, get another job where your company respect you.

take a look at this website Dublin Serviced Apartments, Dublin Holiday Accommodation - stayDublin it offers very good apartment accommodation at reasonable prices. Certainly challenging working as Cabin Crew for Europe's biggest loco but if you love aviation like myself, you will love working for Ryanair too. :)

Adria Airways have cancelled there DUB flights for summer 2012 along with 5 other European cities.

Not a big surprise as most pax crystal holidays clients. was more of a charter operation rather than scheduled really but still a loss.

Could you be so kind to reference that quote from an august publication please.

thanks
 

these are beautiful, but not so cheap..
I go on looking for budget rooms for rent near the airport in Dublin, if anyone knows someone, who has a free room, pls let me know!

I was wondering if anyone with a good knowledge of Dublin Airport's layout could help me.

I've booked a flight to the USA on Aer Lingus and my first sector is operated by Aer Lingus Regional (Aer Arann) from Blackpool transferring to an Aer Lingus flight to New York JFK (it doesn't use US customs).

My connection time is 1h40m and I understand that EI Regional arrives into T1 and EI mainline leaves from T2, does anyone know what the inter-terminal connection is like?

DAA doesn't seem to have any info for these circumstances. It seems a bit of an inconvenience, but there you go.

Dublin Airport - Aer Lingus

Full detail for connecting flights with EI but just follow signs for flight connections and T2. If having trouble just ask a worker.

Oh I see, the two terminals are linked airside, so it's a case of just walking between the two following the sign for flight connections in T1. That's all I wanted to know. Thanks.

Iberia flights to Madrid only bookable until 31 May, Are they pulling out, would be very suprised if they did.

Madrid
 

EI-A330-300

One GDS available to Joe Public certainly shows nothing from the first week
in June, so it does not look good.

Possible route for the new Iberia Express? I assume tickets would not be sold
through GDS and IB seem to have big plans for them eventually.

They seem to be in axing mood.

Also believed to be a slight reduction in seats from Manchester as well although not huge in the grand scheme of things.

IB will not be leaving. Its just schedule changes between 31 May-11 Oct. Flights bookable except for the above period. Will post if anything different appears from the last post about IB 2012 plans for DUB a few pages back.

EK 161 on the way ...
 

Emirates' inaugural flight to DUB is now en route; dep. at 06.58. Current ETA in DUB, as per Emirates flight status page, is 11.20.

The flight/aircraft isn't showing on Flightradar24 at the moment, but it will look remarkably like this:

And Emirates have a wallpaper advertisement on the RTE website's homepage today. Very nice. RTÉ Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster

Aircraft is A6-EAG, currently just south of Poland.

EK 161 arrived safely at 11.19.

Fingers crossed it'll be a huge success! EK certainly have put a lot of effort into it.

It will be interesting to see how EY reacts to this!

Here;s a report from Breakingnews.ie: Dublin-Dubai air link launched | BreakingNews.ie

Have been told that they will be carrying a lot of cargo that previously went via MAN (with EI) so that extra revenue stream will allow them to offer nice fares to entice pax from EY (or indeed going via LHR)

They're already talking (TC hinted) at a larger acft type, possibly 777s; CPH only started last year and they're already getting 777s quite regularly.

I'm not surprised that cargo will be big business; hopefully EK (or even EY) will bring all-cargo acft to DUB at some stage.

I believe that the daa had actually thought that ek were to start an all cargo service before a passenger service so i would not be surprised to see an all cargo service to complement the passenger flights.
