Why are you comparing direct and indirect flights in two currencies, in different classes? There are so many variables as to make the comparison pointless. Are you looking to fly premium Economy and accept a one/two stop route or do you value your time and want a non-stop flight?
Fundamentally AA are neither an Irish or Canadian airline and don't have a non-stop flight between the nations or an alliance partner in either country. They have no ability to command a high fare in this specific circumstance. WS have an advantage of recognition in their home market and their large FFP base. |
I’m not? The AA flight is premium economy return to Chicago (x2). The Westjet flight is economy return (x2) to Halifax in a 737. Significant difference in price, hence the question. I have never seen TATL £1200 for economy. |
Significant difference in price |
Anyone else think a £1100 return economy fare is justified? |

Seems excessive for a 2500 mile flight. Would say you are being pedantic. not many will agree. |

New/more e-gates at Dublin.
It'll be great if they're all actually operational at any one time. |
April passenger numbers of 2.8 million up 7%
https://www.dublinairport.com/latest...ion-passengers May passenger numbers almost 3 million up 4% https://www.dublinairport.com/latest...dublin-airport Total traffic year to date over 12.3 million up 7% (764,000) |
I often fly to Oregon on the west coast of the USA from Cardiff and in general it costs me between £800 and £1100 with KLM or Aer Lingus So instead I book Brussels - Atlanta - Buenos Aires - Atlanta - Brussels: same flights, but with a couple of extra flights thrown in: £500. My work saves £500, and I get to visit Argentina for free :O Once I got a fare Brussels - Atlanta - Los Angeles - Sydney - Brisbane - Los Angeles - Atlanta - Brussels for a little over £1000, but it was still cheaper than Brussels - Atlanta - Brussels. Sorry that's all off topic. Back on topic: some great traffic figures for Dublin! |
Dreamliners have also been deployed to London and Rome, and still to come this year, Etihad will introduce these aircraft to markets including Frankfurt, Milan, Dublin, Johannesburg and Lagos. |
