I saw on another site, that loads on the new CLE-DUB-CLE route for May were over 93% with 79.1% of passengers being US citizens and 20.9% are non-US citizens. Would like to see June numbers! It seems like its off to a good start.

Took DUB-CLE home to Ohio last week after purchasing two award tickets quite a few months ago. I had seat 3K (a "throne" seat) and thought it very comfortable with plenty of space. I think there was 1 empty seat in business class. I never did turn around to see how full economy was, but boarding took long enough that I think it must have been close to full. The flight attendants were very pleasant, but there was only one in business class and he struggled to get the food and drinks out in a timely manner. I wasn't in any hurry so I didn't mind as he did offer excellent, if a little slow, service. My Guinness beef was delicious! We arrived in CLE about 1/2 hour early. It was lovely to get off the plane, pick up my luggage minutes after arriving in baggage claim, and then drive the 2 hours home instead of having to transfer to another flight with all the expected delays. I flew UAL on the outbound flight through EWR, and although everything went shockingly well, I prefer this nonstop even with the drive I had to make.

Yeah I can see these routes to secondary cities being a big winner for EI.
The likes of CLE, STL, MSP etc serve pretty big metro areas and I think once word gets out about pre-clearance and being able to avoid connections in ORD/NYC/ATL etc it'll catch on.
