Aer Lingus offers WiFi and it’s free for Business class passengers. I was up throughout the entire flight working. Also owned by the international airlines group and known for their standoffish flight attendants. If I didn’t know any better, I would assume I was flying a US Carrier or maybe sister airline Iberia. This is despite walking to the forward galley and not using my call attendant bell. I was drinking Jameson Caskmates, and each time I asked for a refill the Flight Attendants would oblige, but act as though I was bothering them. There are also bottles of water or wine which one can self-serve. If you want anything else to snack on, there is a self-serve bar near the forward bathroom.
Flight Attendants retreat to the galley and are not proactive. oven baked cod, braised savory cabbage, and baby potatoes chocolate profiterole gateauxĪfter dinner service was complete, about two hours into the flight, the lights were dimmed and people were encouraged to sleep. Jean Pernet Tradition Brut NV & Canapés Burren smokehouse salmon, Toons Bridge mozzarella, roast red pepper with a Beetroot & Feta salad. Finally a sweet dessert or cheese is available. First the appetizer with the salad and bread and then the main dish, alone. There is no pre-ordering of food on Aer Lingus, so options can be limited. After we took off Flight attendants took orders and did a round of drinks and Canapés before dinner service began. The flight attendants are friendly and provide good customer service throughout meal service. Service during the flight was pretty basic, but enjoyable. Pre-arrival meal Lunch Menu wine list Wine list Aer Lingus Business Class Inflight meal A quick check of my boarding pass and passport and I was good to go. When it was time to board, I headed over to the gate area and boarded via the priority boarding line. Aer Lingus main lounge is in terminal 2, before pre-clearance. The lounge is shared by all airlines flying to the USA, so it does get very busy. I purchased some Duty Free Whiskey and then went to the 51st & Green US Pre-Clearance Lounge. Pretty fantastic for a trans Atlantic flight.Īfter Security I had about an hour to waste. Security and customs only took me 5 minutes. Dublin’s preclearance also offers Global Entry Kiosks. This can save an enormous amount of time and hassle. This is great because not only do I find agents friendlier in Europe, but when you land in the United States, it is like a domestic flight. Therefore, I was able to clear US Customs and TSA style security before departing for Seattle. The airline also plans to resume service between Dublin and Miami (MIA) in October 2022.Aer Lingus Business Class Boarding and Pre-Flightĭublin offers a pre-clearance facility. Both routes are being operated with A321LR aircraft. In March, the airline restarted daily service from Shannon (SNN) in Ireland to Boston (BOS) and New York Kennedy (JFK). “We are delighted to be building back our connectivity this year … This summer marks an exciting period for us as we welcome back so many much-loved US destinations for the first time since March 2020, including Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Seattle, as well as greater frequency on our Chicago and Washington services.’’ “Aer Lingus is fully committed to connecting Ireland to North America,” executive VP of US operations Bill Byrne said in a statement. Chicago O’Hare (ORD) will see a second frequency, to be operated 5X-weekly, to complement current daily service on the route from DUB.Īer Lingus noted that it will be the only airline providing nonstop service between Ireland and the US west coast with its flights to LAX, San Francisco (SFO) and SEA. The PHI route will be flown with an Airbus A321LR, while A330s will be deployed on the LAX and SEA services.Īer Lingus will also start a second daily flight between DUB and Washington Dulles (IAD) from June 9, marking the first time Aer Lingus has operated 2X-daily service to IAD.
