Have they given up on competing with Ryanair on the early morning market? It also rules out anyone using their transatlantic services from Dublin, because they all leave well before 3pm which is when you'd get there. I notice at the rugby weekend, they are operating 737s but no sign of any wide-bodies on specials.

I understood their EDI morning flight to connect with EI's TX was always well customed.? Dublin of course had the added advantage of USA immigration clearance.. EI do seem to be running scared of FR..CO might also have put the frighteners on any plans to re-instate TX connections.

They don't seem to have the demand for home games, away games however appear to attract the specials..?
