Yes 2 they are the only 2 a320 left in old livery be next winter before they are done if they are going to be done also only 2 a333 left eav and duz
Alicante cut to 5 weekly this summer. Was 6 weekly last summer. No flights on Mondays or Wednesdays.
I remember when it was twice daily in the summer. When the kids were younger we holidayed there 4 years in a row.
Seems to be a bit of an anomaly as sun routes seem to be the strongest performers year after year
So looks like the travel company that we use are going to use EI for flights to BNA,Before hand if flying from Dub to the US it be AA or EI to LHR and onwards connections with BA/AA.
So having flown on the Neo biz class to ACE, What would it be like going to BNA down the back? Have never flown in a single aisle to the US is it much of a deal compared to 330/777.
Honestly I don’t think so. It’s the same size seat, same legroom, probably actually a bigger size screen in front of you. The main complaint is all the toilets are at the very back and this can cause congestion. Pick seats closer to the front. Other than that it’s a standard long haul flight, you get a seat, a tv and a meal and drink and you sit out the hours in the sky.
So last time i flew EI to MCO meals included and alcohol you payed for is that still the same?
One free beer or wine now included in Y.
I've done the NEO on TATL a few times in Y. I avoid drinking alcohol on it as once the meal service starts, you can't access the toilets down the back until they are finished. Lost revenue for the airline in that regard I suppose.
Other than the toilet issue, it's no different than the 330 imo.
Many carriers put a lav at L3 on the 321 Neo, I wish EI had done the same.
Is the one toilet at the front mainly for the biz class people?I noticed when on both legs to ACE no one from economy came through to use the toilets.
Yes the front lav is only for business class. They'll pull over the curtain divider at the front of economy after takeoff to prevent Y passengers wandering into business.
Two I believe if you ask!
I’ve heard if you’re really nice it’s as many as you want. Crew can’t be bothered charging for some drinks but not others!
Ei nsg is active on flightradar should be airborne soon
Any difference in cabin layout to reflect it's ETOPS certification?
Has it been confirmed as ETOPS? There’s no markings visible on the front landing gear.
Ah. Maybe just another wwwoumur.
looks like there could be 3 aircraft in cork after all

That would be a positive development. There's still plenty of capacity lost with AMS gone so maybe there's more increases or even a new route to come.
There is different stock for complimentary and charged. So you might order 2 beers, a wine, a whiskey and a G&T, they will charge you for the spirits.
Yep, a can of wine or Carlsberg, then the usual tempernillo or vadjero to buy aswell as Heineken and Moretti.
One benefit I like with wide body is it can be easier to do loops to stretch the legs than up and down the same aisle. As well as more space around the toilets. After that it’s all the same to be me. I like aisle seat so I can get up when I want instead of the old excuse me as I’m not a sleeper on a flight unlike some I know who are asleep before the doors are closed
Anyone now when nsg will be entering service
Not sure but I see it’s St Dervilla
This was previously an a321 I think
The real pain in single aisle is at service time. Toilets are basically a no go .
Much easier to get to toilet without having to move/wake someone also
Correct ei cph the second neo to get an a321 saints name nsb got cpg name
Looks like EI-NSG enters service tomorrow morning on EI152
One of the next XLRs, EI-XLV, has been spotted in full colours in Hamburg. No engines yet.

DER heading to Shannon this evening, possibly repaint? :(
Fairly sure she’s the last 320 in that livery, so the end of an era if this is the case.
