Direct flight over and back from Cork 
What airline flies there directly?
Youāre not really
Through Swiss Air.
Iām not really. I just thought about it when the thread popped up. Iām really interested to see it, but the actual travel 
I really really hope itās not BA, and I really hope itās not through Heathrow.
9.50 to Heathrow delayed until 11.15. Iāll be late for my 13.00 meeting & will look really stupid in front of my british business friends now. Paddy with his sweaty, red face bursting into the meeting at 13.26 or something (cc @Tassotti). Aer Lingus is not a proper airline.

Flying back this evening?
Yep, now the flight is cancelled for āoperational reasonsā & weāve to queue up to see about alternative options. I was told earlier it missed its take off slot on the way over from Heathrow so it looks like theyāre just not arsed going ahead with it & will try to throw folk on subsequent flights throughout the day. This could work out beautifully, I might be joining the call from my couch but the other attendees wonāt believe the distressing incident & aftermath Iām dealing with here.

Especially on a Monday morning
You could have gone to Stansted at 7:40am.

Indeed. But you know what, Iām past the days of going on a 6.30am or 7.30am flight for a 1pm meeting & building in huge contingencies & slack. Fuck it, if I canāt get on the next flight then Iām going home. This is Aer Lingusās fault & probably @Batigol ās too, not mine.

9.50 flight! Sure thatās more of a brunch flight than a red-eye!

Iāve had instances in the past that a group of us needed to go to āthe mainlandā for meetings/training. Up super early, fly over, train in, make it for around 10ish, all of this well flagged in emails. Some English cunt will say āoh yeah, the Irish on the Guinness againā, Captain Banter looking for cheap laughs. On one occasion the training was around stereotypes and I brought up the way we were treated the previous day. The same chap didnāt even realise what he had said. Fuckin Tan!

All (business) flights are red eyes. There used to be a poster who would lose the head when I called every flight to London a red eye. Ah those were the days.
Iāv strategically ended up near the back of the queue to arrange alternative flights. What a shame now if thereās no room on the next flight or the one after that. I might just need an email from them saying they couldnāt accommodate me until mid afternoon & job will be oxo.
