I have one ticket through to AMS all with Aer Lingus.
I noticed the EWR-DUB flight I’m taking (EI 100)was CANCELED Sunday for the second time in about a month since I started tracking it. Don’t know the reason but seemed concerning.
The layover in DUB is 80 minutes. There is another flight to Amsterdam three hours later and a flight much later than that (10 hours or so). Unfortunately, the flight that is six or seven hours later doesn’t run on Saturday.
With due respect you’re being overly dramatic. A fifth percent chance of rain and thunderstorms? And even if it is raining that doesn’t mean cancellations. Weather would need to be appalling. The forecast is nowhere approaching that.
Two cancellations could have been anything. You could as easy say it’s been on time 95 percent of the time and you’ll make your connection easy.
And even if you don’t there are flights later in the day.
Worried over nothing in my opinion.
