Any ideas as to why EI-GAJ is currently operating DUB-LHR? I read somewhere recently that EI are keeping more long haul planes in service than really needed to minimize the complexity of adding them back to the fleet as more long haul routes eventually start being resumed. I imagine in that case, t...

Jump to postI am living abroad and was hoping to visit family in August, but it seems just as likely the quarantine rules will be made stricter than eased by then.

Jump to postI flew EI to IAD last week and the pre-clearance queue took over an hour (at around 10.30am).

Pre-clearance seemed under-staffed, w...
Jump to postThat does make sense for Norwegian, their product (within Europe anyway) is really good - free wifi included. Suprised there are free slots for them to move short haul to T2, but their flights are at weird times.
