sooner rather than later hopefully. I have to go to OSL (from EDI) twice in the next fortnight. The fares via LHR/MAN/ARN/CPH and FRA are all extortionate :( And the timings aren't great either moan moan moan... :td:

JK's homepage is offering DUB-MAD for €30 e/w... :confused:

I did that exact same route a couple of times last year.
I found the best / most cost effective way to approach this was to 'nest tickets' and go via LHR. I bought EDI-LHR rtn on BD and then LHR-OSL rtn on SK separately.

The EDI-LHR rtn flight were at times as low as £50-60rtn all incl on BD, and the LHR-OSL was about £95-100 rtn all incl from the SK website or expedia. Whenever I tried booking EDI-OSL in one ticket, I always got a higher price of over £210...

Yes they have dirt cheap fares between DUB and Spain, but these are only valid using when using the direct DUB-MAD service (rather than via LON on BD).

Try to book from their site though. At least, they have finally added DUB to departure points (before it was just in the arrivals list). Every time I try to book anything, it comes back with an error message. The only thing you seem to be able to book are domestic flights, using the green days link.

Also, no usable timetable which makes it difficult to actually identify the days on which the service operates.

I poked around on travelocity (expedia for some reason cannot issue JK tickets). Could find flights out of DUB on JK al the low price, but none on the return in a period of over 4 weeks this summer.

Don't know why they don't list LHR as a possible point or origin, since they codeshare with BD on LHR-MAD. Just can't see any technical reason, other than they don't want to sell direct in the UK. Wonder whether they consider that marketing for UK departures is for BD. But then, the BD site does not allow you to book through tickets to Spanish destinations other than the direct services to MAD and PMI.

At least, they now include DUB, which is better than nothing. Next thing for them will be to get the booking engine to actually work.

thanks for the tips, ^ I'll try to use them next time. For next week I've got a fare of £249 on SAS via ARN. It will be interesting to see how busy this new service is.

There was a Budapest flight that was dropped, along with Prague, Zurich, Bergen, Frankfurt, Paris-Orly, Copenhagen and Oslo (I am sure I am missing some). They also won the right for a daily non-stop to Moscow, which they were in competition with VS for, but that was never started.
