Hard to know it still will take a while for demand to bounce back and it will be JFK BOS ORD MCO that will see demand the most .

SFO is the likely target

Great from Christmas, but we are approaching the traditionally weak demand period, Nov/Jan/Feb. Someone is watching bookings and they will see what the demand is to SFO and others based on tickets sold via BOS/JFK/ORD

The kids are back at school and Summer holiday season over. Business traffic picking up but not enough to reintroduce more rotations. The flights that are operating are around 70-80% full from my travels over the last few weeks so probably enough for the time being. We may see extra put on for Christmas but from now until the October bank holiday when the kids are off again and then November to 15/12 it will be quiet. I noticed the drop in activity in Dublin Airport last week compared to the previous weeks.

Have border force ceased informal checks on ei passengers arriving into Heathrow? It was case in Mar, Apr and may that border force would be waiting at gate to quiz passengers.

This is good to know, thanks DELLAS. I could do without the 4am start.

Yes they have now gone . No checks at all now. Ive flown into both LGW and LHR . LGW is going into the North Terminal currently while the South Terminal is renovated. We were bussed to Domestic arrivals and again no checks .

SFO next summer is for sale on other OTAs but not aerlingus.com. Is there a date yet when that flight comes back, or is this a sign they don’t want to sell tickets on it yet?

It seems to be an SFO and LAX issue. SEA, BOS, ORD, etc all bookable but I just get errors with SFO and LAX.

How long do these cancellations usually take to trickle down into the system? I see some of these flights are still on sale...

Edit: I see the flight I am on has now been removed from sale.
