The question is, if I miss the turnaround, is AA willing to put me on an AA/EI codeshare to get me back? I figure if so then there's a DUB/LHR that can be done right after, if not then they can put me on a DUB-BOS-NYC or if I'm feeling up for it DUB-BOS-ORD-NYC.
Anyone have experience on rebooking for a missed MR turnaround in DUB?
Also forgot to note (not sure about this) but if the inbound DUB is delayed and they're using the same equipment on the turnaround then I'm in good shape assuming I can turnaround faster than they can turn the airplane around, right?
Relax. AA has but one daily 763 ORD-DUB-ORD. Darn near impossible to miss your return flight. Takes several minutes to clear Irish immigration and wait in check-in line upstairs to get return boarding pass. Several more minutes to clear security and then sometimes a lengthy wait (15-30 min) for US immigration pre-clearance (when you return to ORD you go straight to customs since you've already cleared immigration). You should have plenty of time to relax before boarding.
