Shannon Airport Thread [Mod Warning in First Post]

I didnt mean Cork had Marseille, I meant that as Bordeaux is also dropped it could be a wider issue in France.

I believe it was winter as well last year (maybe the first time)

I agree with you re Paris. I hope this performs well quickly and we see the route expanded to the rest of winter.

Press release about the service. Just a stock PR exercise but you would wonder if they have future plans with the tone of it.

Long may this trend continue

I wish AA would bring back the PHL route, I know they don't really have an aircraft that's right for the mission yet but it was seriously handy to have.

Hi.

Just wondering would anyone have Promo code for parking? TKS4FLYSN not working.

Thanks in advance

Year round route to Paris confirmed by Aer Lingus, Twice Weekly!

Fantastic

That good news. Pitty it doesnt recommence early feb 2024 rather than march. Missing out on a decent travel period of valentines, mid term break, 6 nations etc but great news its back. Good for those who will want to take in Olympics next summer with competitors from mid west taking part

Possibility that it may become more than bi weekly too. See they have the flight time that passengers from Paris can connect to aer lingus flight onwards to boston and newyork. For once ill praise aerlingus for their planning. A lot of americans use dublin as a connection to europe so good to shannon getting in on the action

Flew on the Chicago route recently, flight jammed both ways, airport very busy heading out, long line for security! Never seen that before, but was still through within 10 minutes.

Thats good to hear and in more good news

Flew transatlantic from Shannon for the first time in over 10 years. Was a bit shocked to see that the departure lounge after pre-clearance still looks like something from the 1970s.

When you consider this is where the people who pay the most for flights have to wait to board the plane, you think a little TLC would have been on the cards years ago.

Yes there are parts of the airport once you pass security that could do with a facelift. Hopefully eith increasingflights and passengers that will flollow

I see Aer Lingus' service to JFK returns on the 10th of February 2024, making the break only a month and 2 days, don't recall ever seeing it return so early before.

You'd wonder is there any opportunity for SNN with the potential limit of night flights at DUB. I'm thinking of the 3 Ethiopian fuel stops at around 5am for example - typical type of traffic SNN would see, who knows why it's even going to Dublin in the first place!
