RE: EI
I have flown EI to Boston from Manchester Connecting and clearing customs in Dublin. They were good and their new A330, look great inside and out. Food, in-flight serice etc about average. The good thing with them is flying via Dublin is far less hassle then going to LHR for the US. However,because of Ireland’s position being on the west most tip of Europe, I couldnt see long-haul flights to the far-eat etc (if they were available) being as popular for connecting because people have the feeling you are flying back on yourself.
