If you have to fly to North America, why add 2 or 3 hours of travel time flying first in the opposite direction and not use the US immigration facilities in DUB?
If BA takes over the DUB hub, can they fly to the US under the Bermuda II ?
Absolutely not. It does not even arise as Bermuda II is for UK/US air traffic, not Ireland/US. Under the Ireland/US agreement, Irish airlines operating to the US must be Irish **owned** (greater than 50% of stock).
