I am curious to know if they wil use 757 or 767 traffic on these routes.
Wide body flights between UK and Ireland potentialy!!!!
I doubt it will open up seats on these end sectors because of immigration issues. You don't need a passport to travel between the UK & Ireland as they're in what I think is called the "common travel area."
As such, flights landing in the UK from Eire have to clear customs but not immigration. This contrasts with flights from the US to the UK that obviously have to clear both.
I presume it would be too time consuming to make everyone deplane at NOC to clear Irish immigration...
