Equally I know a lot of Dibbers fly from the UK via Dublin and Shannon to avail of pre clearance what if any are the implications for them.
I completely understand that a lot of this would be guess work but would welcome peoples thoughts . Again please no politics

You will not be affected at all because under the Easter agreement you as an Irish citizen have the right travel freely between the Ireland & UK. That's nothing to do with any agreements with the EU

From how I understand everything I have read so far, there seems to be a period until 2020 when very little changes concerning travel. I expect to go through the non EU lines and possibly 6 months should be on a passport to travel, but I don’t think any extra restrictions or visas will be immediately enforced. I also heard that the agreement to use UK data etc on mobiles in the EU on your UK terms will stay the same until 2020 but after that we will lose the right to use our phones on the UK contract conditions.

I could be completely wrong, as I find the whole Brexit situation very confusing but that is how I have read it 😀

This is correct. Here is the current UK government position in the event of a no-deal Brexit

Flights between Ireland and the UK will continue to be treated as domestic flights for immigration purposes.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with delay compensation

IAG the parent company of both Aer Lingus and British Airways with a registered office in Spain...the EU I think have a rule that 51% of shares must either be held or traded cant remember which within the EU I'm sure they comply.
Feeling a lot better now. Though Michael OLeary of Ryanair (Never a man to pass a microphone) was quoted last year saying in a hard brexit that flights from the UK would essentially be grounded. Always thought that was nonsense

At the moment it is one of the laws that will be adopted as is into British law, the obvious exception is that we could only enforce it on UK airlines (as we'd have no legal power of EU airlines anymore)

So flying BA or Virgin no difference

Flying KLM or Norwegian not covered

That's how it would be today but there is obviously the scope for discussion to bind airlines into the rules if they want access to UK landing slots - but this is obviously lower down the pecking order than actually just sorting out Brexit right now

Well what you describe is travel within the Common Travel Area. Normally controls in the CTA are minimal but both sides retain the right to implement checks as and when. CTA won't change. See below.

Sorry - but as the replies in this thread have shown - how would any of us know ?

Its all just theories and guesswork.
