Happy Birthday Joe

Aside from which, is it just me or is the citybound onslip on to the Sydenham Bypass far, far too short. Once I’ve ended up having to continue on to the hard shoulder as there simply was no gap to migrate into and on several occasions a combination of split second timing and the consideration of other drivers has been necessary to get actually get off the onslip and on to the road home. The onslip on to the Bangor / Holywood carriageway is similarly ridiculous as well.

Once IKEA opens plan is to make the main exit for non City Bound through the “Holywood Exchange”. The country bound slip is ridicious being approx 10m long! Best thing to do if busy is to wait until someone comes into the lane to enter City Airport from city bound.

Try google or if you could be more specific in what you need to know…. (e.g. do you need to know which airlines use the airport?)

Antrim International :p

Personally i like Flybe Adverts on the side of The Oval, Dont be EASYly mislead.

Personally i find it teadious at best calling BFS Belfasts Airport given its something like 12 miles from the greater belfast boundary as the crow flies.

Usually Easons have it in Northern Ireland but unsure of Dublin. Some easons are now called “Read”. I find if you ask Easons they will bring the magazine in without subcriptions as long as you or someone else will buy a copy a month. Smaller newsagents wont as there is a minimum order but easons etc can split it between stores.

Shamrock321 is completely right. Their base fare was £65 return when the train comes in at £40 return. If someone offered the route for £30 you would find it would be used alot especially given BD have pretty much the entire civil service using them from Northern Ireland to London and they could easily get this between Belfast and Dublin as there are approx 100 a day going either way. Aer Arann only ran the route for 3 months and did hardly any/no advertising up here other than in the airport. The times were ok but could have been better to accomodate a full working day or the International Flights.

Its only a matter of time before an airline runs BHD-DUB and sucessfully if they get the price right. Its been well researched and I know 2 “airlines” are looking at it as a possability. Also the train is becoming less and less of a viable option as its getting very old and dirty which is putting people off (as well as the quite frequent bus replacement services). The road is being improved (2010 i believe it finishes on both sides of border) but given Dublin car parking is worse than Belfast that wont make more people go by car instead!

BTW True Blue, when easyJet (whos prices rival BD for business passengers) overtakes BD on one single route ill eat my hat. Given they operate only 10 flights compared to bmis 16 and bmi having more seats per plane i dont see that happening very soon.

If the demand was there easyJet would have capitalised on it and put more flights on. At the moment their flights are spread throughout the day which is not the “norm” when it comes to business travellers patterns!

How also would an all Airbus Fleet compare to his all Boeing! I think he would keep long haul and use it perhaps as a tool to help launch FR into the market.
