    Just saw unusual looking plane out my window, quite surprised when fr24 informed me what it was!
    Almost 14 hours from Havana, seems like a long flight time, is the il-86 very slow?
    The flight path also suggests to me that Dublin wasn't the intended destination?

    Yes, I'm pretty sure it was. Today's is only the second Il-96 to visit Dublin, to the best of my knowledge.

    Fr24 say it was much longer, obviously their system is counting something incorrectly

    Handsome looking aircraft - looks like a cross between an A310 and an A340.
