First A321LR painted and looks ready to go (except for the foil!)

Anorak question... why the D- registration?

They all wear a temporary Airbus reg until they are delivered to the customer where they are then given their proper registration in Aer Lingus case it will change to EI - LRA.

My EI 131, DUB-BDL, on August 8 has changed from A321LR to 757 on May 10, but then on May 23, the flight is reverted back to A321LR. Checking expertflyer, the BDL route will feature the A321LR beginning August 2.

Does the A321LR have the legs for DUB-MIA?

In theory I think so yes. Range is ~ 4000nm/7500km (not sure on loading here) and DUB-MIA is ~3600nm/6700km. I don't know about safety limits etc that need to be incorporated so if they can actually fly it on those routes.
