This would seem odd.

Krakow is going to be served by Skyeurope on the same days from Dublin.

Almeria is great news! Murcia should be next!

With Skyeurope doing a 25 Euro each way and EI doing a 84 Euro each way....its fairly obvious who will get the business

On the Krakow route I can see Aer Lingus winning the Irish market and SkyEurope winning the Polish market. What Irish citybreak folks are going to fancy getting into Krakow at 0110?? The Aer Lingus gets in at the much more civilised time of 1935.

Over 60,000 Poles have moved to Ireland in the last year so I think both airlines will do well as there'll be a nice mix of Irish tourists, Polish immigrants and Polish VFR pax.

Almeria is interesting and welcome. There is a huge golf and retired Irish contingent operating out of the soutj east of spain and this will only get bigger. Property is much cheaper here but the lack of flights until FR started operating into murcia hindered things.

From an piece I saw recently about a Polish pub opening in Limerick, maybe they should fly ex SNN instead! Apparently lots of Poles in the area.
