Jump to postI've been on EI-DEJ, 'DVH and 'DVL over the last few weeks and on all 3 aircraft, somebody has sewn the seat pockets to the back of the seat, meaning there's no seat pocket anymore. It's not a massive deal, but I wonder why someone in the airline thought this was a worthwhile thing to do, when they ...
Jump to postLooks like Vueling is dropping Orly to Cork and Shannon. ORY-ORK not bookable after 11 June, ORY-SNN stops 14 June. I know EI is due to resume ORK-CDG in September. Presumably this will be year round? I'm not entirely sure whether it's back permanently, or just Rugby World Cup Charters. We live in ...

The British Airways website is showing that the BA834/835 rotation on Sunday 5th March will be operated by a 777, is this just a glitch? And if not, why might that be?
Jump to postIt would appear that EI-DEF is the next to get the new Livery, with that aircraft having been in SNN for a few days now.

Jump to postPity that the EI724/725 rotation hasn't been restored yet on Saturday nights, instead this week I flew on EI183 and managed to bag a flight on EI-NSA as a result. I found it much smoother than the old A320s, and I get the sense it's much more efficient (We took off from Heathrow 10mins early!). Howe...

Jump to postI was on the inaugural VY SNN-ORY flight today. Great fanfare and media coverage at the gate with treats served and local and national politicians present.

Jump to postDEN seems like an unusual choice in my opinion. Would they not be better trying DFW? There's lots of Irish people in the Texas area, and connecting to the AA network would make sense going forward.
Jump to post[twoid][/twoid] Why does EI serve SNN-BOS/JFK? To me it makes no sense, moving the flights over to DUB would be better it seems. What is the purpose of the seasonal EWR-SNN seasonal service on UA? Lack of capacity at DUB for additional EWR service? You also had AA flying PHL-SNN at one point. I wond...

Jump to postAnyone know why EI are playing musical chairs with the ORK-based aircraft so much lately. EI-DVJ is the latest to randomly have spent a night in DUB last night, before switching back to ORK this morning. Whatever they're doing is causing delays, as last night's Malaga flight left 2 hours late to acc...
Jump to postFollowing on from my post about a week ago regarding my EI725 cancellation, I'm delighted to say Aer Lingus processed the refund, and they only did it for the return leg. My outbound leg remains, exactly as I requested. Thanks everyone on here for the help.

Jump to postIt took so long because IAG were quite happy with EI just as it was, as a ‘value’ carrier. They want to direct the high-value traffic (and frequent fliers) to the more premium JV partners AA/BA as much as possible. Reciprocal earning and burning and status recognition will no doubt be coming later ...
Jump to postI think we can agree that the South West of Ireland simply doesn't have that much demand for trips to Edinburgh and vice versa so that level of service is unsustainable in the long term. Like Amsterdam, it probably has more to do with the region being underserved for years than overserved at this p...
Jump to postI know I've asked a similar question before, but do EI actually plan on operating the EI247 LGW-DUB on the 8th January or is it just filling space on the website. We shouldn't have to play EI roulette guessing which flights will operate or not. I suppose there's always FR..

Jump to postHi All,
I'm flying KIR-DUB-KIR tomorrow for the craic and I'm wondering if I need PLFs for these flights, the whole thing is a bit onerous and if the purpose of these PLFs was to contact trace, surely the fact that it's a domestic flight would be irrelevant.
Cheers
In light of the fact that ORK is closed in the coming weeks, I'll be flying some DUB-LHR segments. The EI website is currently offering 11 daily flights at the end of October.

What a complete farce! I guess that's what happens when you pick a paper airline. Hogwash too about connecting Eurooe to the US via DUB. Emerald will reconnect the UK only. No aircraft in the 100 seat market either. Why not 5 or 6 Air Nostrum CRJs in the interim? I still think EI sees it's guests a...

Looks like EI-DHW clipped wings with a TK aircraft in MLA tonight. No injuries reported.
The only question that remains is with what frequency will aircraft be painted to the new livery. Also what aircraft will be painted next?
Jump to postThe livery could have been a lot worse. While it certainly won't last 23 years, I'm breathing a sigh of relief all the same.
