That was my first reaction to DUB but then remembered reading that tourism to Ireland is soaring, especially from N. America, up 8% Jan. - Aug. over previous year.
Is that enough, though? What about business travel.
Tourists would likely be OK to take one stop service.
Why deploy a business-heavy aircraft on a leisure route?

Perhaps because it is an airline that does well with leisure travelers and is still trying to find its way in addressing the needs of business travelers.

There are a significant number of companies that have their European operations headquartered in Ireland for tax reasons so there is a measurable business travel market to DUB.

Anyone know if the business class seats will be bookable with SkyMiles or FlyingBlue? Economy "V" award space is available.

It's not bookable using WS's own program yet (discounted). I'll be pissed if they release to partners first.

There are some competitive fares next summer YYC-CDG in business, on offer right now.

Sample Jul 26-Aug 17 $3488. That's pretty good for a non stop flight.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 7:47 am.
