Not sure if this is the right thread, but - I was looking to book DL44 from JFK to DUB on Dec 6, and then return DUB-JFK on Jan 4. Not sure the flight number of the return flight. The flight seemingly disappeared from the website this morning, so it seems like TATL may not be sustainable? It looks like the only current option for a direct flight to Ireland is Aer Lingus, which I am trying to avoid at all costs. But I would rather fly direct with them then thru Amsterdam or France on Delta. I am hoping the flight comes back but I am not holding my breath.

Looks like other international changes likely have been loaded as well. For example, JFK-BRU now no longer showing as operating until April.

Delta is cutting A350 out of AMS-DTW route for the summer schedule starting March 28th. Anyone knows where "that" A350 will fly instead? I cannot find any other route with A350 that I could use with my Honolulu flights. Thank you!

If USA citizens and residents can enter Ireland, I would think the route would be fairly busy around the holidays. OTOH, DUB tends to be a leisure oriented route with relatively low TATL fares, so it's probably low yielding.

Not really any point to fly to Ireland right now even if you're allowed to without restrictions... since they are in nationwide full lockdown until at least Dec 1. I'd be very wary of that Dec 6th date you want to fly there, as even if they come out of lockdown then I'm sure it won't be anywhere near normally open.

Yeah, for us we're going because my wife is Irish (born/raised, received green card about a year ago), so we're going "home" so to speak. Full on 2 week quarantine away from everyone is planned upon arrival and then we plan to try and have as normal of a Christmas as possible. So you're right in that there is nowhere to go, but we're not going anywhere aside from family.
