I still don't understand why biometrics are
required to go to DUB if passengers voluntarily present their (British or Irish) passport or some other document which guarantees entry to Ireland.
Same with any other CTA destination. (I'm still pissed off that BA nearly kicked me off a JER flight because LGW's biometric capture failed)

How would this even work?
"If you take one of our flights, you must not board the same aircraft within 1 hour to fly the same route in reverse (except where you have stayed overnight), even if you hold another ticket that we don't know about"
As with all ex-EUs and positionings, the OP held two different contracts for LHR-DUB and DUB-DXB.
The potential for me to make a silly error like this is why I don't do B2Bs and always spend 20 hours in London on ex-EUs. I personally don't get why one would want a 7 hour trip to become a 12 hour journey just for a nicer seat, but when I spin it as getting a "free" day trip to Dublin (twice) then it becomes attractive.
