Cork Airport - *Read Mod Note in First Post Before Posting*

I'm only now coping what you mean here.

Your carry on is being put into the hold... Have you got a BA executive club card? At blue level (entry) I think you might be able to avoid this.

Oh I understand your part, I'm more thinking of an aer lingus thing. I paid it when going to London for the exact reason you mentioned, not wanting to be stuck at a carousel. No brainer if the situation allows. But I don't know how AL monitor it whether you've paid for carry on or not. I strolled into Heathrowcoming home, onto the plane with the carry on when I hadn't paid it for return leg.

Yeah, they really are missing out on a lot of next summers bookings already. A lot of people, especially with families, book by now. I was trying to book accommodation for my family for next July over the weekend and accommodation availability is getting very tight in many resorts. If I want to book, for example, Majorca flights with Ryanair this morning, I can from Dublin or Shannon but not from Cork. Really putting Cork at a competitive disadvantage. People can't keep waiting.

Movement today. Lots of FR routes now bookable from March including Rome going year round!

Does anyone know what uptake of the Rome flights have been like so far?

They are up on the app for beyond March. But they are greyed out - you can’t book them yet. Same thing happened a couple of weeks ago for Bergamo but they were bookable after a few days. So I’d be pretty certain that Rome is going year round. Good news!

Shouldnt be too far off an offical announcement so

Just went on to check flights to Barcelona again and can book now

Valencia is available to book now.I notice increase in flights to Bordeaux, Girona,Palma,and Reus.Good news and that's before anticipated new routes announcement

Saw that, feckidy feck feck.

I use AMS as a hub usually, so I'll reroute using the 7am LHR flights. That flight was always jammed though, surprised it's gone. Especially as the Aer Lingus one a few mins later is gone too .

Ah you're right! It's back. I was sure that was dropped a while back (did I dream that!), and I swapped to KLM from AL at the time. Now it's back when I checked there. I can't keep up with the constant shifts in schedules.

When I look back over the routes I've taken in 2022, scrambling to get around flights and routes changing all the time, it's definitely been hassle. I remember one Thursday, buried in work, getting an alert on the phone that my upcoming flight is canceled, but good news, the proposed new one has something completely mental like a connection involving changing from heathrow to london city airport in 90 mins at 5pm on a Friday. And I can't quite figure out if it's the flight the next morning, or next week, or the week after from the message. "Your upcoming flight". Grr.

I could in theory book work travel out to June / July next year, but I stopped doing it more than a month in advance because it was so changeable. I wonder if it's more than me doing that, as booking numbers from business travel might affect demand forecasts?

There are huge gaps in the airport departure’s schedule still. Yesterday, there was a flight to Manchester at 10:40, and then nothing leaves the airport until the next London flight at 12:30 .

What a waste of ground staff.

Surprised Tenerife is still one flight per week next summer, they always seems full

Looks like KLM have removed the early morning service now until march 27th

All were dropped during the pandemic no?
