    All short-haul aircraft will undergo a cabin refit this coming winter, allowing for installation of WiFi and enhanced Business product offering on popular routes LHR/LGW/AMS/CDG/ZRH/GVA......

    I'm sorry....but WTF?
    I'm a fan of that happening but adding some sort of J Class product is a huge step. I would have thought an announcement would be made on that point
    (not complaining as I feel EI would need to add Y+ to keep distance from and attraction against the 'new' FR)

    There's defiantly no business class cabin return, rather a similar approach to BA's blocking of a seat if plans progress. Talk of sockets for the first few rows etc, nothing concrete but the re-fit this winter allows the opportunity to do it.

    Announcement on the extension of the new DUB-IAD route from late Oct to January due shortly. Very positive forward bookings have led to the fairly short-notice decision.

    I'v flown on 2 of the A319's (EPS & EPT) the seats on them seem to be very cramped compared to the A320's, Any one know what the seat pitch is on these? SeatGuru mentions its a split cabin?

    First few rows still have business pitch. I heard 2 were reconfigured to change this. I was recently on both EPS and EPU and they both still had the better pitch up front. I always get seat 3A as a result ;-)

    Question about the Omni 767-200 to be leased.

    Do EI already have it? I've seen reports that it was very recently sent in for painting into EI colours (Or partly in them).

    Also, will it appear on FR24, I have my bets on it won't, but I hope it will.

    Doubt they already have it. It will appear soon enough. I think the lease is June-July-August.

    Might be an option to try a dummy booking on EI.com to look for the planned start dates.

    Late May/Early June, no refit due to lease being only 3 months.

    Omni Plane, Omni crew, Aer Lingus flight number and possibly titles.

    This amuses me :) I'm sure I've done it before though.

    I can also confirm it operates from the 8th of June. The B757-200 then goes to Dublin to operate the DUB-JFK for the duration of the 767 lease.

    The desperate times that we live in that we can't do without wifi or tv for a few hours. Maybe he could do the old fashioned art of talking and think about going on holiday to Orlando!!!

    Indeed. I know that He'll be grand, he'll have a paper and a few beers. Wouldnt boter him too much. But for many others this would seem like punishment.

    personally I'm a reader and a sleeper on planes.

    Here's a picture of the Omni that subbed for Aer Lingus the last couple of weeks , for some reason I cant't embed it, my browser keeps crashing everytime I try, maybe Tenger can edit it there and try embed it (I just took a guess and pasted the IMG link into your post)
