I wonder if part of the rational is not to force folks onto EI TATL service, now that EI will soon have 7 cities( of course only a couple will stop at SNN- others you will have to connect to SNN back on a TATL outbound service), rather than have them fly BA or Virgin and simply transfer at LHR to SNN[/QUOTE]

Good point - probably a lot of validity in this - make the pax connect elsewhere in US, and then fly direct to SNN.

Makes it very inconvenient to get to West of Ireland from Asia / SA etc though ....
