RE: What a drag!
It’s a nuisance. BA have denied people from the Isle of Man the ability to take long haul flights with baggage, without physically carting your own bags around London or on the LGW-LHR bus.
They refuse to transfer bags LGW-LHR. The only way to transfer bags through to your final destination is to fly with them IOM-MAN-LHR and as I’ve said, they have a poor record with transfer bags on this route. As was once said, BA*tards!
Anyway, gripe over. I just got back from Dublin. This is my 4th or 5th visit there, not sure which exactly. Nice city, I found the Chester Beatty library at Dublin Castle this time. Amazing collection there, illustrated books and texts, very worthy of the “European Museum of the Year” they boast of.
Anway, flew there and back with BA. Euromanx are the main operator on IOM-DUB now, but when I booked a few months ago BA were only 2/3 the price so I chose them instead.
Outbound leg was on an ATP, rego G-MANC. The flight was empty, roughly 25 pax if that!
Inbound it was a J41, G-MAJF. Flight was even emptier with 9 (honestly, 9 pax! I kid you not!)
Saw lots of Ryanair and Aer Lingus aircraft, and not much of anything else. It was 737-200 city, looks like FR base all their older jets at their Dublin base?
