I know one of the 321LR’s got diverted last night from BDL but cancellations from PHL, EWR & IAD today, why so? You were aware of the weather right? The 321 neo have performance limits off 16 at DUB. LRB was departing for EWR at DUB but the winds wernt in the pilots favour. They told ATC they c...

Is it still possible to transfer Avios between programmes (e.g. AerClub to BA Executive Club)? I thought there used to be a function to do this on Avios.com in the past (I could be wrong though) but they've recently updated their website and there seems to be limited functionality on it now. Am I n...

Got off the American AA132 Dallas-Dublin earlier this morning after an almost 2.5 hour delay leaving DFW. Flight was packed (as expected) with many travelling to Dublin for St. Patrick's weekend. Plenty of Texas connections from Austin, San Antonio and even Amarillo. Flight was overbooked and some ...
Jump to postI don’t see anyone but BA taking over LGW. Vueling have zero recognition on the DUB-LON market & the ATRs wouldn’t be cost effective versus an FR 737.

But seriously, everyone seems to have been caught on the hop. Weather forecasters completely failed to predict it (gave a rain warning instead) and lack of deicing equipment and lack of stands seems to have led to lengthy delays
Got an email from AerClub earlier highlighting a change to the tier point years. It’s in line with those BA are making so obviously to fully align the programs

The 2 aircraft ‘to be allocated’ are XLR’s. Which are EI’s as EI’s deliveries make no reference to XLR deliveries, only 2 32N’s. All a bit strange, slide deck implying they are not allocated to EI yet but seems to be related to ongoing dispute with pilots. Ah yes you’re right, damn colour blindness...

Great news I have had some good flights on them over the last 3-4 months. Could not fault them and hassle free connections at BCN too.
Whatever you think of him, you can never accuse Michael O’Leary of not having an opinion ‘Please let me know if you would like a plan (since you don't have one) on how easily and quickly Irish aviation, tourism and jobs growth could be delivered at Dublin Airport' https://x.com/eoghancorry/status/17...
