  Hi guys

  Looks pretty amazing! One question for those of us a little less experienced in all this.

  Common sense dictates that you would definitely have to start the flight in Dublin but as I live 11 miles from Heathrow can I just sneak off home from there on return?

  You’d obviously have to tell the stateside check in fresh off your intentions so that any checked baggage congress of the flight but is that possible?

  Cheers

    If you book the DUB flight for the next day, but with a gap of under 24 hrs to avoid stopover fees, you should be able to persuade BA to tag you to London.

    For a one off BA will not penalise you. Do this once a month, though, and you will eventually be in trouble.

      Hi all – is this something people have experience of doing? I.e starting off in Dublin but opting out of the final LHR-DUB leg?

      Interestingly I am looking at the DUB-LHR-LGW-TPA route so we would have to change airports in London! Anyone have any experience of this? I assume it would make retrieving our bags on the return route rather easy, but on the outbound route would we need to arrange to transfer ourselves from LHR-LGW?

      Cheers

        Indeed a change of airport would make bag retrieval a non-issue 😀 You don’t need to have an identical outbound and return trip, but IIRC BA don’t fly to LGW from DUB so you’d be stuck with that outbound.

      • Rob says:

        25 Oct25 October 19:18

        Yes, you must transfer yourself.

        I have skipped last legs in the past with no trouble. I also had a big fight in Bangkok once when BA wanted to check my bag all the way and it took a number of different staff members before I would find someone to agree – and this was with an overnight stopover, amazingly.

          Booked this trip at the weekend: DUB-LGW-TPA and TPA-LGW-(LHR-DUB)

          Fortunately you can get from DUB-LGW if you hop on an Aer Lingus flight, negating the need to trek from LHR-LGW. Whole lot for c£1050 each vs the usual £2000+

          And yes the bag retrieval will be a non-issue due to the LGW/LHR connection. And we get to spend a weekend in Dublin which is nice. Only downfall being the blasted Terraces lounge…. sigh..

    Officially this is not allowed and BA would be within its T&Cs to reprice for the flights actually flown. That said people will still do it and if it’s only done very occasionally probably won’t trigger alarm bells at BA. One way to ensure that bags are available at LHR would be to make book the London-Dublin final sector from LCY so you would have to collect bags at LHR.

  For those of us who don’t live in London and/or aren’t after the TPs, the direct AA and US flights to the States, and connections, price up similarly. This of course has the added advantage of clearing security and customs before departure.

  • sandgrounder says:

    25 Oct25 October 08:19

    Immigration and customs. Security is not optional! 🙂

    • tony says:

      25 Oct25 October 09:26

      Ah, but you clear US security in Dublin too, so the reality is that when you get to the US you’re straight off the plane. It’s a great arrangement.

      Note that this appears to allow you to fly BA1-4 as well.

  • Paul says:

    25 Oct25 October 09:45

    Direct from where? The only cheap rates I can see route you back via London, so you won’t be pre-clearing immigration…

    • Edd M says:

      25 Oct25 October 10:33

      My understanding too would be that direct flights from DUB to USA will get pre-clearance, whereas any flight with a transfer wouldn’t. But if anyone else has done it and knows for sure (clearing USA security in advance would almost encourage me to pay more 😉

      • Alan says:

        25 Oct25 October 10:46

        You definitely wouldn’t pre-clear US immigration if connecting via London as your flight wouldn’t leave from the pre-clearance area of the airport. Only direct DUB -> USA flights would have this.

        • sandgrounder says:

          25 Oct25 October 12:23

          There are cheap flights straight from DUB to the US via JFK ORD CLT and PHL. They might not be available for all dates perhaps as some routes are seasonal. I was looking for 6-17th of April, returns were available for around €1200 this morning in business.

        • sandgrounder says:

          25 Oct25 October 12:26

          As of 1224 DUB-JFK-DUB on AA can be had for €1155.33 on the dates mentioned above.

          “You definitely wouldn’t pre-clear US immigration if connecting via London as your flight wouldn’t leave from the pre-clearance area of the airport. Only direct DUB -> USA flights would have this.”

          If you fly DUB-LCY and then pick up BA1 to JFK then this flight stops in Shannon to refuel at which point all passengers clear US immigration.

        • Alan says:

          25 Oct25 October 15:14

          Totally agree – but in that case it’s by virtue of leaving on the LCY service that you’re getting preclearance (and IIRC they don’t offer it for all the LCY-JFK services at present, they certainly didn’t recently) – the fact that you’re initally leaving ex-DUB makes no difference 🙂

      • Rob says:

        25 Oct25 October 19:21

        Correct, no pre clearance if you fly to London then onwards

  • Brendan says:

    Unfortunately they are AAs rusty old 757s!

    • Phillip says:

      26 Oct26 October 08:36

      The ORD flight is on a 767-300. Seating is better than the 757-200, and if the 767 refurb happens fast enough, you could be in luck! The new product on the 767s is really good – coupled with pre-clearance, it’s a winner.

  There is a £30 cash back opportunity for CW flights with Quidoo at the moment too

  Check ebay for flight vouchers as always

  can see some flights on AA for same price. Do all their 777’s from LHR have the new 1-2-1 layout? seems a lot more like BA 1st, at first glance
