Aer Lingus

I took a flight from Dublin to Manchester. Online Booking was made very easy with the total price you pay very clearly laid out in front of you. You can check-in online but I didn't do this and headed for area 14 which is on the lower floor in Dublin Airport. The Check-in girl was so so...she was nice enough also not to charge me for an overweight bag, which was a nice touch. The Cabin crew did the safety demo professionally and were polite when we were greeted as we stepped on board. We didn't have a problem with luggage space inside the cabin, I had a large broadcast camera with me that required both my hands just to give you an idea of size ...  Read the complete review

My friends and I have just had our first experience of flying with Aer Lingus last week. And we were surprised to find that they were in fact a very good airline. We flew from Gatwick to Malaga and back again. The cost of the flights was cheap - much cheaper than with any of the other airlines, including EasyJet and espcially BA. The timings suited us better, and you can chose your outgoing and incoming times to fit in around you. The website is user-friendly, and I had no problems with it crashing, or taking too long to load. It made me feel that it was safe and secure to use. In terms of the actual flight, it was certianly no frills, ...  Read the complete review

Two weeks ago I had my first experience with the Irish airline and I must say it was quite alright. I traveled in their new route from London Gatwick to Munich which was quite good news to me. Living in Southern England, the closest airport offering this route was Heathrow and only with BA or Lufthansa which I consider really good companies but not the best prices. Needless to say Aer Lingus tickets was 50% cheaper than I previously had paid to fly to Munich and their web page was very easy to use. Note that you have to pay for check-in luggage which can be up to 20 kg and you can either do it when buy your ticket online or at the ...  Read the complete review

I recently flew from Belfast to Barcelona with Aer Lingus and would recommend them very highly. We booked through a travel agent so I was quoted a total price for the flights rather than searching myself and having the charges added on so I was not too disappointed. Baggage Aer Lingus only allows for 15kgs of luggage although in both airports we found the check in assistants were not very strict even though both mine and my partner's cases were nearly 20kg. They also state that only one piece of hand luggage could be carried on but I had two with no questions asked. Check-In Check-in staff were pleasant at both sides but I did find in ...  Read the complete review

I recently flew to Malaga with Aer Lingus and had a very enjoyable flight. The price for me and my partner looked like it was £20 each for each way, but by the time taxes and charges were added on, and then a bag each and fuel supplement we ended up paying £214, however this was still the cheapest we could get. Check in was simple and you are allocated a seat which saves you from the mad scrum you encounter with some other budget airlines. The planes are big and very modern. The seats are comfortable and slightly wider than most, with lovely moulded headrests. You have good leg room and decent size trays. The crew on our ...  Read the complete review
