Shannon would have been a good option, Since US Immigration Pre-Clearance can be done there & resuming the Flight as a Domestic when landing at JFK...
Not sure Leipzig has US Pre-Clearance Facilities down there...

Maybe the airport taxes mattered there. Manchester and Frankfurt are bigger airport than Leipzig so it think it may have low taxes.

Definitely the fees at LEJ are lower than at FRA - but would that be a more Advantage then possibly more PAX from FRA. As already mentioned here Cargo seems to be one main reason for LEJ.hamzaafzal wrote:Maybe the airport taxes mattered there.

On the tender notice 1 + 1 means flight going to JFK and coming back from JFK. So the total number of flights to JFK remain 3 instead of 6 as you have stated.
