Card yes. Iām not sure what would happen if you refused point blank to pay
Heāll get it back with no wheels
Thatās grand and you are normally whipping out a credit card for incidentals anyway.
Being prompted for a payment just off a plane before you even get to security is South American shit. Iāve never flown to Knock before so had no idea they did this. Do you get a tacky model of the Virgin Mary in return?
Its a departure tax although I think they call it a development tax - few bob for the tar mac Boss!
What is it, a tenner?
Yep
A tenner??! By God.
What a country!
No. I work in Dublin.
Any word on what Aer Club are doing re tier status lads?
Iād hate to drop down to Platinum on back of this.

I may never fly again for business but the gesture is appreciated.
I got a scam email straight after it offering a free flight voucher 
Thereās been a lot of those Aer Lingus ones going around the last week.
The forgotten land
The colours in the sky
How are the regular travellers coping with the fallout from C19?
More family time and less time trudging through airports but Iād imagine there was a certain liberty to it thats badly missed at times.

I donāt really miss it. Iāll get back to it when I have to next year I suspect.
The boy in me would on occasion enjoy having dinner on the West Coast of America after having breakfast in Dublin and how far we had come (physically and metaphorically) but as the kids get older youād miss being away that long.
The overnights to London travelling mid afternoon and a couple of drinks in the airport en route or tagging an extra night on a European trip were the sweet spot.
Itās a young manās game now.

Jesus thereās cobwebs everywhere in here!
Mostly I donāt mind it all. Was abroad 5 times in Jan & Feb, all midweek shit - it fucks with any hope of a routine. Was gradually getting better at getting exercise in but ating well between airports and hotels is a struggle. I donāt miss getting into DUB at 11pm of a Thursday either.
That all said, Iād love an auld jaunt now. Just for any excuse to get out the country really. A project kick-off, before the battle lines are drawn and with the drink flowing, twould be ideal.

Iāll be taking my first commute since the last week of Feb in a few weeks. Iāve missed it. I find WFH 5 days a week very monotonous.
Hope they lift the 14 day quarantine before too long or my career might be in trouble.
