Is the west coast doing that well to justify increasing ( possibly) the frequency? How is Seattle doing?
There are strong hints of BNA and IND on the other forum being announced on 08/10. Has the third route been confirmed?
What’s the name of the other forum?
might get in trouble for posting but here ya go:

That’s also a really good aviation forum. The mention of IND and BNA is down through that link.
The infamous blue board.
I find this to be the better board and often topics such as cap on Dublin movements or new flights will be raised and expored here and then flow over to there.
Also there was a hint that IND on the other board due to "Nascar racing", but Nascar is connected with Charlotte and Dayton Beach, the Indy 500 is in Indianapolis.
The Blue board can be a bit of an echo chamber.
That early morning ASL flight to JFK was very handy if you wanted a day drip to NY.
EI doesn’t have a standalone order correct, IAG does. From what I’ve been told pretty much all CEO 320s are being replaced in order of age.
seems to be doing very well, increased to daily next summer.
correct in relation to 320 replacement, I was talking about long haul aircraft/expansion though. There is no orders after the XLR but as you said they can get aircraft from IAG.
Not launching Nashville on the late late show country special this Friday night is a missed opportunity
Ahh the good aul blue board. I’m sure half the regulars here are there too! (I won’t confirm or deny if I am or not😝🙈). I agree here is better and it can be very cliquey over there!
I once dropped a comment regarding something very controversial that was about to happen and got laughed out of the place, told I know nothing and even had a mod giving me grief via pm….. I was right! Go figure, never again 😂
According to flight radar ei fsl is flying back to Dublin tomorrow I taught it would atleast need a test flight since it's been out of action for so long
I read ot a couple of times a week. Looking outside the Irish thread can give you interesting snippets about global aviation. I have however seen speculative claims here or there being presented as facts on the opposite forum. "I read it on another site" being used to give support to a fallacy.
The "blue board" is more gossipy. It has its place but I find there are more people at the coal face on here who actually know what they're talking about.
Blue board users will be cursing me now for mentioning it here and seeing your comments aswell.
(i do prefer boards aswell, people are much nicer)
Oh yes agreed, anytime I see “I read on another forum” that’s the first place I think of. I agree with another poster too that there are more people at the coal face on this forum making it more reliable and friendly.
Ei nsa of to Madrid later for maintenance first one to go this winter going to sad seen cvc and cvb leaving since I have travelled on them both this year
EI LRE must have a tech issue in Dublin aswell. Its not flown since Friday and IAD and EWR have been cancelled during the past few days.
330 has been used aswell to cover IAD
Eighth test flight for EI-XLR today, a brief spin high over Berlin this time. Iberia’s EC-OIL had its first flight a few days ago too.
Ha... It'll be secondhand by the time it arrives 🤣
An article about St.Louis, Missouri trying to attract Aer Lingus from Dublin. Also name checks Nashville

Tue, Thu, Sa, Su from 12 April 25.
EI77 14:05-17:10
EI76 18:40-08:50+1
Someone in the Dublin routes thread said they got an email from EI announcing Nashville from April 25. Sounds like this is going to be a worse kept secret until official announcement.
Its been officially announced and mentioned two posts up aswell. Its on EI social media.
Oh sorry...didn't see an announcement link. Just a list of times.
So, why are EI only announcing Nashville and not the much rumoured second city?
The Late Late Show is doing a country special tonight so Aer Lingus probably saw a good opportunity to announce it a bit earlier than planned.
Gives a possible second route its time in the sun too whenever that is announced.
Probably have a trip as a prize on TLLS.
This has been confirmed on social media
Ready made perfect audience to advertise this route to
