New Aer Lingus Routes

1 a week to Las Palmas and Lanzarote will wrok perfect.Alot of people go away for a week or 2 and tend to fly home on the same day as they go out so it will work perfect.Aer Lingus arnt stupid they fly once a week during the winter to tenirife and that worked perfect last winter.The flight to LPL is not an early morning flight it leaves Dublin at 1230 and leave LPL at 1340 25 min turn around.Someone said it on airliners.net earlier and I belive it to be true that Liverpool was just added to save an aircraft sitting on the ground in Dublin for too long.
As far as fares go I looked up going up going out on november 15th coming bacj on th 16th and it was 169E.Not good an Ryanair will kill them at that rate.

The eidw-eggp is an early morning flight out of dub to pool and back should be very popular as thats the exact timing everyone in pool were looking for so they could the atlantic connections.As for once a week to the other two there having a laugh arent they come on fungus min 5x so it works for people with holiday homes(not me).

The fares are 9E one way.Aer Lingus operate to Bristol once daily and they are doung fine their.Aer Lingus wont operate a Premier class cabin on this route.All the new A320s that are being delivered are 176 seat in a 1 class configuration.I very much doubt any of their new routes will have business class.They only have businsess class on flight to selected UK destinatins as well as BRU,FRA.Im not sure about AMS and DUS.

EI seems to market itself as a low fares carrier now though. I suppose LPL-DUB will appeal to leisure travellers who don’t want to fly Ryanair and are prepared to pay a bit extra.

LPL-DUB will not work with just one rotation a day, how is that useful for business travellers? That means its only open for leisure travellers, who are going to be after cheap flights and go with FR. I don’t see ANYONE buying seats on this service?

Maybe they will increase if its popular.Aer Lingus are also in direct competition with Ryanair on the DUD-EDI AND BRS routes and they used to be in competition on the LGW route but EI pulled out as well as LCY.

Mmmm only 1 flight a day to LPL. That’s not good for business. Shoudl be two, 1 in the early morning and 1 in the evening. Still good news tho!

And the one I find most interesting is 7 weekly flights to Liverpool in direct competition with Ryanair.

Hi,

There not only in direct competition with Ryanair from LPL, there in competition with there own MAN-DUB route aswell as Luxair and Ryanair’s MAN-DUB routes!

Thanks
