    I have heard a few helicopters flying over my house (South Dublin Bay area) during the early hours. Any idea where these are flying from?

    And all of these reductions (from all competitors) give EI a boost when people start flying again. As Ireland is a relatively small market, they may have the Atlantic to themselves for a year; with good interlining agreements, they may do a little better than they would otherwise.

    The dub-hub thingy may also benefit as the smaller UK/EU airports also have reduced direct services from the majors. Good planning will be needed going ahead.

    If I'm reading that correct United would have two flights from Dublin to San Francisco and Newark. Not too bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 69,551 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    The US OAG update this weekend has MSP resuming as a tag to BOS in June, interesting way to handle not being allowed fly in direct and obviously there's some customer pushing for it

    I had thought the same myself.

    According to Airfleets, United have parked 28 752's. I would wonder if they will bring them back to operate the near Europe flights like Continental pioneered in the early days. Proven track recorded with lower loads or will it be all about the cargo on the 789/10s

    In fairness many airlines are still selling tickets on flights that they have no intention of operating in order to increase cash flow.

    True, but it looks like they haven't pulled it yet which is a positive though obviously whether they run or not is another story.

    Seems like a very welcome temporary boost for DUB if passengers can go through enroute to the UK and not have to undertake quarantine there (if I'm reading the situation correctly)

    Agreed, but doesn't anyone landing in Dublin/Ireland have to go straight into 14 days quarantine?

    Also while I can understand ( to a degree) the UK'S reasoning behind Us not having to go into 14 days quarantine ( surely it's because of the border up north? ) what is the thinking behind France also being excused from the 14 day isolation?

    Some fudge around the channel tunnel/Eurostar - there is no other logical reason.

    I remember so long ago when I thought this would blow over (early March) I was looking at my US holiday (was originally next week) and US was closing its borders to all Europe except UK & Ireland - as I used to have to travel to work I was acutely aware of the US restriction which wasn't just you cannot fly from anywhere but UK & Ire but you must declare that you have not been in any other EU country in the previous 14 days.

    The quarantine can still be applied either based on where you normally reside or have travelled in x days prior to arrival even if you arrive through Dublin. Doubt we'll be walking through UK airports unchecked as occurs now.

    Passports are regularly scanned at airports so they can easily know where you were.

    At the moment, and hopefully it will change for flights from high risk areas, the quarantine is not mandatory, it is only advisory. The problem with people passing through will be that they may not as such come landside, where the advice is being given at the moment, and in the same way as the emergency legislation cannot be applied to residents of the North, the same issue will apply to non residents arriving by air, if they don't have a place of residence in Ireland, the present regulations cannot be applied to them.

    Also while I can understand ( to a degree) the UK'S reasoning behind Us not having to go into 14 days quarantine ( surely it's because of the border up north? ) what is the thinking behind France also being excused from the 14 day isolation?


    I suspect that the reality is that there is no easy way to enforce this, given the number of routes that come into the UK from France, both ferry and the tunnel, to stop every Eurostar and enforce quarantine would effectively shut them down, which would have all sorts of legal implications, unless they also enforce the same rules on the ferries.


    It does seem a strange decision, but that could be said of a number of recent UK decisions.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    Have to agree with You. But surely it is easy to stop passengers and cars using both the tunnel and the ferries? I know Freight MUST keep moving, but the remainder? Surely easily blocked?

    Or not?

    Not doubting You IS, but isn't this exactly what has happened to the airlines, albeit caused by people not flying moreso that governments shutting them down?

    The narrative coming from UK FCO is that it was a quid pro quo for France including the UK in it's non-quarantine list.

    AA come in every tuesday and depart every wednesday, 777 to and from DFW, cargo only.

    UA come in every wednesday, friday and sunday from IAD with a 789, cargo only.

    TAP winter schedules indicate a night stopper 3 days a week (Mo, Thu, Sat night) with departure to LIS at 05.00 (Tu, Fri, Su). Schedule is a bit all over the place with 1, 2 or 3 flights per day.

    Not sure about hub at LIS but guess an 07.40 arrival benefit passengers transiting to N America more than S America. The evening ex LIS is 19.55-22.40. Mix of E Jet and Airbus.

    I'm sure a lot will change between now and then!

    I'd assume that the producers of the movie he was working on here would make sure he flew private at the best of times, never mind during a pandemic.

    Why would he could back now? Its classic slow burn Bourne, remember the house in Munich with the gas and toaster...

    Great airline and destination, I've long hoped for airBaltic's return on both Riga and Vilnius to bring some welcome competition to Ryanair. I hope they can make it work.

    Unfortunately their wider expansion strategy looked a little overambitious before the pandemic, but now it just looks insane!

    Hi

    Mind me asking how much You paid for the Dublin/HK/BKK ( I assume ) flight? We were flying at least twice a year ( My Wife is from BKK ) & usually found the best and most decent price with Qatar.

    Hope Your HK flight is back on in time for Your trip.

    Hi

    Mind me asking how much You paid for the Dublin/HK/BKK ( I assume ) flight? We were flying at least twice a year ( My Wife is from BKK ) & usually found the best and most decent price with Qatar.

    Hope Your HK flight is back on in time for Your trip.

    Thanks. PM sent

    Very unlikely we`ll see them back before 2021

    But you don't know that for certain?

    Not to rain on your parade but it would be nice to get a go/no go from the airline or a credible source if people are planning to fly.

    You asked me to guess :)

    I dont know for certain but I`m in the cargo industry. They were supposed to be year round, but pulled off the route in November even before the covid $hit hit the fan. They just got bailed out by HKG government. They were due to resume in July. I have heard nothing on the cargo grapevine about a resumption anytime soon

    If I was sending something to the US by Fedex, does it go from Dublin to CDG and then on to the US or somewhere else? What are the arrival/departure for the Fedex 767?
