Hey everyone.
Could somebody tell me if the Aer Lingus lounge in T2 does a Irish breakfast ?Have an early flight to Bilbao . I have only ever used the lounge on a afternoon/evening flight before.

I flew early to New York and 51st Green if I recall had small buffet style. Sausages , bacaon etc. Wasn't the best mind!

Pretty sure no. Its a very crappie lounge. Some muffins is the best you can hope for i think.

As you rightly say 51st does have a proper offering

Brown bread, scones, fruit and biscuits usually but I think there may be a pancake machine - certainly nothing passing for an irish breakfast.

That's in the 51st & Green lounge AFAIK. Even the Dublin Airport T1 lounge is better than the Aer Lingus one, although there's still no hot food.

No decision has been made as of yet. As things stand its March 28, its a very fluid situation of course.....

California Dreamer · 11-02-2020 7:39pm

I was shocked the last time I was in 51st & Green that there was hot food in the morning.

Yes, prior to an EK flight. I had a very respectable breakfast — best I’ve had in a Dublin lounge.

Yup, all you get in the Aer Lingus lounge is a continental breakfast basically. Some Special K, and a few pastries.

Would appear to be a tour operator utilising a charter airline that is struggling to get its AOC in order.

Porentially a 3rd airline on the route to Chisinau. Didn't realise it was that busy.

Once they use an EJet, and get EI code share like FlyBE had it should be OK.

If they start putting Jetstreams on it it'll get a few posters here taking it for the oddity, and normal passengers taking it once and never again.

Is there actual anywhere in the T1 or T2 that does a decent Irish breakfast?
Have yet to find one.

No it in T1 upstairs beside Burger King. Always liked the food out of there tbh.

Delta A350 due into Dublin tomorrow morning, cargo only, from Salt Lake City.

Correct SC on it's location, and TBH, in comparison to BK, it IS paradise. But in all honesty the system they operate ( specially when flying solo ) is a bummer. Also they certainly are anything but cheap.

I was getting staff discount the last few times I was in there so not too sure what proper prices are like. And yes I can defiantly understand the difficulties solo travellers and anyone taking their lunch on there own might face.

Due in 21:28 tonight apparently.

DL8834 estimated in 2130. Could change again.

I believe there will be 2 Delta a350s this week, one this evening, departing tomorrow, and another arrival Wednesday morning, dept Thursday morning.

I'd love if this was a route, save having to connect through somewhere in the US everytime we've to go visit family. One can dream!

At the rate we're going you'll be lucky to only have to connect in one place to make that trip

It originated in Salt Lake City.

Was supposed to be direct,but they had issue with crew so it went to DTW first

As A320 said it was due to be direct. I saw the posts above saying it had stopped in DTW before I posted, was just commenting how SLC - DUB - SLC would be a hugely beneficial direct flight for me, as much and all as I know it will never happen.

EchoIndia · 24-03-2020 9:49am

The next Delta A350 is due tomorrow from ATL. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL8836

Rotating Irish peacekeepers. The aircraft comes back to DUB this evening.

It's had A332s for a few days now. Flightradar says it's going to become A321neo operated from tomorrow onwards but it isn't always correct.

California Dreamer · 04-04-2020 3:52pm

All economy too. Crews are turning around and coming straight back so all crew are in business. Makes no difference loads of tiny anyway.

Stobart are using the ATR 42 for Kerry ops now, looks like they’ll be doing a Donegal rotation in between the afternoon and evening Kerry flights.

I thought they were rotating aircraft to keep them flying and avoid long term shortage issues.
