Its so that they can have more routes.

hmmmm

this is all completely pointless but.. there is one daily flight from BFS to EWR as I am sure you know... United 76 (codeshare with Air Canada and Lufthansa)...

According to FlightView (data that EWR uses):
today's flight (14/4/2014) is still in the air, left BFS at 11:01 AM Belfast time, i.e. 6:01 AM Newark time... is scheduled to arrive at 1:13 PM... ie. 7h12 flight time.
yesterday's flight left BFS at 11:05 AM Belfast time... ie. 6:05 AM Newark time... landed in EWR at 2:01 PM... flight time 7h56, 16 minutes over the scheduled 7h40.

or did you mean Dublin - Newark? UA 22:
today: takeoff 9:04 AM IST/BST.. ie. 4:04 EDT... landing 11:20 AM EDT... flight time 7h16... (scheduled time is 7h35 westbound)
yesterday: takeoff 8:54 ie. 3:54 EDT... landing 11:39 EDT... flight time 6h45

Where's your 4h10? Which one of us needs help with time zones? There is a 5-hour time difference between Newark and Belfast.

Even the eastbound flights took more than 4h10: UA 77 (EWR-BFS) took 6h03 last night... UA 23 (eastbound EWR-DUB) took 6h09.

It took 4 hours and 10 to reach newfoundland.

And the flights are long due to the runway work. Normally they take about 6:30.

Yes, you get the same seat and leg room and width in a small narrow body plane but I always thought it seemed more relaxing in a two aisle plane for a long flight vs. a one aisle narrow body plane. It is psychological being in a larger space. Anyone agree?

The only benefit is walking about.
