AerLingus

Planning a trip from the UK to the US with a connection in Dublin and ran into something confusing while booking. My son will be about 18 months old and I’d prefer to book him his own seat, not a lap infant. But the Aer Lingus website only lets me select infant, which...

Saw a pretty frustrating situation at the Aer Lingus priority check-in area in Terminal 2 today. A woman walked straight past the entire queue in the business/AerClub section, went to the counter, made a fuss, and ended up getting checked in ahead of everyone who had been...

Just hit Platinum with AerClub and found out one of the perks is an extra checked bag for free, which sounded great. Then I learned the catch… apparently you have to call customer service to actually use the benefit. That surprised me a bit. I’ve had status with other airlines...

Had a frustrating situation with Aer Lingus recently. Our original itinerary was JFK → Manchester → Dublin with a 7:00 pm departure. While we were driving to the airport we suddenly got an email saying we were moved to a 5:00 pm direct flight to Dublin. We never requested that...

Booked an international Aer Lingus flight on February 1, and about a week later the airline cancelled the flight. Initially requested a voucher, but after two weeks with no response switched the request to a cash refund instead. Another week later an email came saying the case...

Looking at flights from the US to Dublin this summer and the price difference is pretty crazy. A direct one way to Dublin is around $1400 in economy. But flights to other European cities that connect through Dublin are only about $400 to $600, even though the first leg is the...

I’m flying Aer Lingus from Manchester to the US and just realized my suitcase is 162cm total dimensions, while their limit is 158cm. It’s only 4cm over, so I’m wondering if that’s usually fine? From what I’ve seen, it sounds like they care more about weight than a couple of...

Noticed Aer Lingus Regional has reduced Glasgow to Belfast to basically one flight a day for the next few months. Same story with Edinburgh to Belfast. Lots of cancellations showing. Looks like the second daily GLA flight comes back mid July, but I’m a bit nervous about booking...

Trying to see if this is normal or if I am just getting the runaround. Back in November 2024 my Toronto to Dublin flight was canceled after we had already boarded. Aircraft issue. I ended up booking a different airline myself the same day and made it to Europe. A few hours later...

Flying Aer Lingus business in about a month and basically moving my whole life out of Ireland. No family here to leave stuff with, heading back to live with my partner. Business gives me 3 checked bags, but apparently I cannot add more. Meanwhile economy can go up to 5 if you...

Flying NY–Dublin in August for my mom’s 70th and really wanted to get my parents into business. My dad is 6’3 and not super comfortable in economy anymore. I called before booking and was told there were plenty of open business seats and no one on the waitlist. Agent suggested I...

In most cases, airlines don’t officially allow cabin swaps between tickets in different classes, especially long haul. Business class comes with different service levels, catering counts, and sometimes security or manifest considerations. That said, sometimes crews will allow an...

I have a Manchester to JFK flight booked for March 14. Yesterday I actually called Aer Lingus to double check, and they told me I was fine since the official end date for Manchester ops was March 31. Today I get an email saying Manchester–New York flights are stopping from Feb...

I’ve been saving Avios for a couple of years for a big birthday trip and finally have enough for a business class return to Toronto with Aer Lingus. Super excited… until I actually tried to book. No matter which dates I check later this year, only economy reward seats are...

Flying MAN to JFK in June with my dad for the World Cup. Outbound is Manchester to Dublin to New York, return is direct. Out of curiosity I checked upgrade prices on Aer Lingus and nearly fell off my chair. Business class on the outbound was showing £41 per seat for both legs,...
