Very quick flight, efficient boarding, and clear and thorough instructions and attention from staff.
The flight from Dublin to London was short but they charged for any food or beverage. I have never paid for anything except alcohol on a flight before so imagine my shock at being charged nearly 4 pounds for a cup of tea. I once took an hour and a half flight (different airline) within South Africa and was served a complimentary dinner. It’s minor things like this that might make me hesitant to choose Aer Lingus over another similarly priced airline.
Excellent cabin crew. They helped a number of passengers with mobility challenges and a mother with a 3 year old and an infant. Better than most other airlines by far. Well done Eduardo!
Good, I slept the entire flight so I cannot add many inflight details
Air Lingus was in no hurry to get us on the plane as sat at the gate a long time before they boarded us. Then they leave us on the tarmac for an hour. They were no help to let me know what I needed to do to get home. I had to navigate London Heathrow with 0 help from them.
The free WiFi was great so I could stream movies during the flight. I would like to have movies available instead of on my device. Thanks!
The flight was delayed leaving Philadelphia due to “catering” and consequently arrived in Dublin some 75 minutes later than scheduled. Consequently this caused me to miss my connecting flight to Glasgow and I had to spend the night in Dublin.
Amenity kits were never handed out. There was zero friendliness and assistance by crew. Food was uneatable. One drink was offered and no wine, with dinner or before or after. Cocktails and beverages were not encouraged and when I asked for water, none was given. Poorest, most cramped business class flight I’ve ever been on.
I fly to the USA every 6wks on Ave and 99% of the time I fly Aer Lingus. If I fly BA I’m always disappointed. My only criticism is the food. I’m vegan and over the last year it’s got slightly better these last couple of flights but on the whole it’s not good! Salad and fruit salad for breakfast and that’s also the starter and desert for the lunch/dinner and the main is usually rice with fried veg 😳the pasta is pretty good though. That’s been the last 2 meals…. Everything else is fantastic.
The flight was half full and I presume that the next few days are even less busy not sure why they are still charging a premium to change a flight.
It was a late flight; crew was invisible. Zero air flow - the tiny plane was a sauna; the left the lights on for 1/2 of the flight; there was no water. Never again.
What an amazing plane! We flew a 787 to Miami. Although the Internet was not functioning, it was a wonderful flight.
Seats are uncomfortable and my impressive barely 5’10” frame meant my knees were touching the seat in front of me. My 5’3” sweetheart found the seats equally uncomfortable The crew were transactional. The food edible. The entertainment manageable. The boarding process efficient. The experience okay.
Getting to Scotland with no luggage (no medicine, no clothes and no club) on golf trip very disappointed
The check in agents in PHL and gate agents had to have been the rudest women that I have ever encountered; the agent weighing the bags at check in screamed continuously at all of the guests as did the woman at the gate.I have Executive Platinum status with AA and fly a lot with AA but these ladies were the absolute worst I had the displeasure to encounter!
My flight to London from Philadelphia was cancelled due to weather.
The flight was canceled 3 hours after original take off time
Again flight was awesome except British Airways lost both gate checked luggage’s. Still missing
Missed connection from Philadelphia to London because flight from DC was seriously delayed. Was re-routed the next day (had to pay for hotel) to Zurich and was given a main cabin middle seat while I had paid for premium. Great job AA!!!
So uncomfortable to sit in the tiny space on a long, international. Food was rough. Please, less white flour and processed food.
We spent two hours on the plane before taking off due to a fault which I would have thought they would have found before boarding so we could have stayed in the airport. Water was in short supply so restricted due to the extra time and so hot. Vegetarian food was awful and wish I hadn’t ordered it and was left starving
The food on the flight was of marginal quality. Small bits of chicken, instant mashed potatoes and some carrots. The rolls were very dry, nearly inedible. The seats were quite small and didn’t allow for any shifting of position during the flight. There was limited leg room.0
It was fortunate that the flight arrived in London in accordance with schedule, and the luggage was promptly transferred to the luggage carousel. However, I find it concerning that even minor issues in economy cabins are prevalent within the industry. American Airlines, in particular, appears to have the least legroom and feels more crowded due to the proximity of neighboring passengers. Additionally, the crew’s adherence to protocol is inconsistent. While they may enforce certain rules set by the FAA on a select few individuals, they often overlook numerous violations, such as failing to reset seat recline during landing.
I liked the comfort of the plane. It was unexpected from past experiences.
Chair is very high. Your feet cannot touch the ground for 8 hours flight. It was a nightmare. Food was bad.
Flight was delayed 3 hours and 15 minutes. The delay caused me to miss my tour group due to arriving late.
Flight boarded three hours late for no reason other than someone made a huge error in crew scheduling. We missed our connecting flight in Madrid and got zero help from American or Iberian airlines on rebooking. We had to pay for a car to take us to the Madrid train station and pay for train tickets to Santiago. We never used our booked flight to Santiago. American claims I can submit the expenses but they are not obligated to cover them. Very frustrating.
Super uncomfortable main cabin. Omg no leg space or seat space horrible
The trays weren’t wiped. They still had food from last passengers
Flight reservation was canceled withou notice had to spend the night in the airport
Check on was very hard. I believe my seats had been selected when I booked, but when I checked in I had to select seats. My previous pre assigned seats were no longer showing and I had to take seats I did not want. Check in took me forever. I also had to pay an additional 22/seat when I had already paid. Lastly thought I had pre paid for a checked bag., but that did not show up so I had to pay for a checked bag. 75.00????
Great until k found out they never got my check bags onto the plane.
Boarding process was chaotic. Confusion over Boarding gates: gate 55 or gate 56 ???. Unnecessary standing in long lines to board. Better to call out Boarding groups one at a time and everyone else to sit. Airline only has 2 Boarding groups 1-3 and 4-9. That causes over crowding and chaos
The flight was ok. The seats are so small. The free wifi for members was not an option on this flight. The one flight attendant, older woman with straight white/grey hair, was very rude. The gentleman next to me asked about the wifi since he was a member as well. He stated, accurately, that the option to enter the idea number was not available. Her response was, "I don't know what to tell you" and walked away from him. The rest of the staff was wonderful. I asked another flight attendant about the wifi, she said the free wifi was not enabled on that flight (true or not- at least she was friendly). It was also pretty dirty. When I opened the tray table it had mushed crumbs and there was a dirty used pair of ear buds in my seat pocket. Lastly the air vent above my head was working but stuck so I was unable to move it to face me when it got warm. I fly American often but this really was not a great flight.
I have always been pleased with their service. Would not change a thing
My flight was late. We stayed in aircraft one hour 😩
We were on flight for 7 hrs and there was no WiFi. Not really easy to use any of our electronics. Def not ideal
First time flying with BA and I will do it again. Staff at airport and on board were very nice and helpful
Overall, terrific service, accommodations, and experience. Only reason comfort was rated lower was because it was difficult to keep a comfortable sleeping position for the overnight flight, but I also had an economy seat.
Flight landed on time but there was a delay for over a half hour unloading us. I missed my connecting flight to Milan and had to wait 2 hours for the next flight. I was supposed to take a bus to Turin from there and do business with a bank. By the time I was able to get to Turin I arrived when the banks were closed and Friday was a religious holiday which they were closed. This ruined my whole point of the trip as I return to the USA tomorrow without getting buisness done. I also lost out on the money I paid for my original bus ticket and had to buy another.
