Would appear to be a tour operator utilising a charter airline that is struggling to get its AOC in order.

I expect a drop, they would do well to remain flat.

Eastern confirm they intend to operate SOU-DUB service in due course. Not sure they are the right carrier.

Once they use an EJet, and get EI code share like FlyBE had it should be OK.

If they start putting Jetstreams on it it'll get a few posters here taking it for the oddity, and normal passengers taking it once and never again.

Hey everyone.
Could somebody tell me if the Aer Lingus lounge in T2 does a Irish breakfast ?Have an early flight to Bilbao . I have only ever used the lounge on a afternoon/evening flight before.

I flew early to New York and 51st Green if I recall had small buffet style. Sausages , bacaon etc. Wasn't the best mind!

Is there actual anywhere in the T1 or T2 that does a decent Irish breakfast?
Have yet to find one.

Correct SC on it's location, and TBH, in comparison to BK, it IS paradise. But in all honesty the system they operate ( specially when flying solo ) is a bummer. Also they certainly are anything but cheap.

I was getting staff discount the last few times I was in there so not too sure what proper prices are like. And yes I can defiantly understand the difficulties solo travellers and anyone taking their lunch on there own might face.

I'd love if this was a route, save having to connect through somewhere in the US everytime we've to go visit family. One can dream!

At the rate we're going you'll be lucky to only have to connect in one place to make that trip

Was supposed to be direct,but they had issue with crew so it went to DTW first

As A320 said it was due to be direct. I saw the posts above saying it had stopped in DTW before I posted, was just commenting how SLC - DUB - SLC would be a hugely beneficial direct flight for me, as much and all as I know it will never happen.

The next Delta A350 is due tomorrow from ATL. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL8836
