There's still some amount of uncertainty over Aer Lingus's plans for next summer. There are rumours of two 737s that are being leased. Also the Shannon timetable currently suggests an aircraft based in Malaga for the summer period (probably only possible with a wet lease). Seeing that there can be up to seven flights a day to Malaga from Dublin, Cork, Shannon and Belfast, it could make sense and allow freeing up of aircraft across bases rather than putting all the extra capacity in one location.
It still is a case of Watch this Space. |
I happened to see a KLM 747 (PH-BFU) on approach this morning to Dublin at 08:30. A diversion enroute from JFK to AMS, I´m guessing a medical emergency whilst it was somewhere over Galway.

United to fly B787-10 from 22 May replacing B777. |
Westjet switch from daily B737 to YYT to daily B38M to YHZ next summer |
Disappointing to lose St Johns.
|
Here's hoping Aer Lingus will fill that void. If they can make it work yield wise, Dublin to St. John's - a mere 2049 miles - wouldn't be the worst use of those shiny new A321neo's.

I have a meeting near LPL and after taking a speculative look out of interest found I can fly back to STN (which I live near) via DUB and it only takes about 50 minutes longer door-door than if I went back into the centre of Liverpool and got the train. At £24 it’s much cheaper! If you arrive into DUB with FR from the UK, can you simply transfer airside to another FR UK flight without being funnelled out and then back going through security etc? I’ve not been to DUB for perhaps 15 years so not sure of set up. There is an hour between flights. |
No, you can't transfer airside – you'll have to clear passport control and go through security again.
You might manage that in an hour, but I think that's pretty risky myself – in a worst case scenario you'd have to walk ~800 metres after landing, clear formalities, and do the same in reverse – and if your inbound flight is even remotely late you'll be snookered. |

Thanks, it wasn’t to be. If the connection was much longer it would make the option less attractive anyway. Perhaps if Ryanair start official connections in future there might be some takers for routes between U.K. points that aren’t great by train |
Anyone know when Norwegian will put later dates for sale for SWF, i. e. last week in October ? Thanks in advance.

November saw 2.1m up 7% taking the year to date figure to 29.2m which indicates 31.3-5m in 2018 up from 29.5m.

Did I miss something or have AA pulled JFK for next year?
|
That's correct but they've added Dallas in June .

Right I didn't know. Looking end of October and waiting for Norwegian to go on sale. Currently way cheaper from BHD via LHR but hoping on a direct flight under the £300 mark.

Suggest you keep an eye on the consolidators about 6 to 8 weeks out because there will almost certainly be significant fare dumping in the Q3 period of 2019 especially via the UK with or without air departure duty. Recession IS an inevitable consequence of a certain event in March combined with notable slowing also being recorded across the EU and even signs of weakness in the US . |
As for Dublin - Dallas remain to be convinced of the business case to be honest. Are there really that many that somehow need to connect to for instance Tallahassee, Killine, Amarillo and the other similar forty or so mid state towns that make up the main points from Dallas. It might claim to be among the most connected on the planet however the VAST majority of the routes are simply feeders into the big city and a railway type regional hub of rather insignificant global importance. Yeah i”ll wait for the bashing from Texans but just look at the rather limited number of international routes that actually exist. Over on the Blueish site they have a thread on the monthly foreign long hauls and frankly the numbers are laughable. |
