Advantages: Friendly, Helpful Staff

Disadvantages: The Price You See Is Not The Price You Pay

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 flights were friendly and very helpful when some people had trouble getting their hand baggage stored.

The Captain seems to speak a lot to the passengers, which didn't annoy us but would have done on a longer flight if you wanted to catch a wee nap.

We only bought sandwiches on board, so can't comment on the hot food, but it did look lovely. The sandwiches were really fresh and well filled. The tea was a good strong hot cup, unlike the dishwater I have been served on other flights.

I throughly enjoyed my flight with Aer Lingus and would highly recommend them to anyone. The only thing I would say that they could do to improve their service would be to advertise prices with taxes and charges added on. I don't mind having to add my bag on because it is an optional thing, but these charges are not optional and so should be included in the price.
