Flying Aer Lingus Economy Class to Ireland! (Review/ Trip Report)

To kick off our big trip to Ireland, we had the opportunity to fly Aer Lingus economy class, from New York to Dublin, on one of Aer Lingus' A330-300. In this video, I answer that burning question in this Aer Lingus A330-300 trip report: Should you fly Aer Lingus Economy Class.

Excellent review Very detailed not just a view of the wing through the window Great work

[@PapaVanTwee5]

I flew Aer Lingus (EI) in 2016 with my wife and two kids ORD-DUB-AMS and back. We are planning this trip again in July. It's an A330-300 for the big hop, an A320 for the little hop. We love the A330 due to it's 2-4-2 configuration. There are 4 of us and whether we sit near the windows in two rows, or in the center and one row, it's good room for all. On the short flights it's a 3-3 config, and I'm sitting on the aisle by myself and they get to sit together. There are many great reasons to fly EI, but one of the best is pre-clearance into the US in the basement of DUB. Skipping the lines for immigration at ORD is a blessing to say the least. The food is okay, the seats are good although the recline is aggressive and if I remember correctly, the guy in front of me decided to skip the meal and sleep, so he reclined pretty much the whole flight.

I know I'm late on seeing this video - but I was curious on your experience with carry-on and personal items. Were they strict? The limits for the personal item are crazy small - 10 x 13 x 8 inches - and I was planning on bringing a northface backpack which is more like 17 x 14 x 6 inches. Do you think I'd get away with this if I keep it on the emptier side? I need the backpack for my studies when I get to Dublin anyway and am trying to avoid the bulk it'll create in my checked bag, and am already using a carry on that is within the flight limits. Thanks for your time and for the video!

[@LincolnintheAdirondacks]

The personal item is gonna go under your seat, so as long as the bag can be squished down I think you’ll be fine. But, you’re also losing more if your personal space

I regularly used Aer lingus being a Dubliner living in the UK frequently going home , but nowadays I use Southampton airport as its beside me here in the south and Aer lingus dont fly in here. Aer lingus is a decent standard . . and I think your flights were reasonable considering I paid crappy Flybe £325 to fly from Southampton to Dublin on January 1st , a flight that took us 40minutes. $600 for a round trip from the US is cheap!!

I’m Irish and yeah I’ve flown with Aer Lingus but it was a much smaller plane with only 3 seats either side instead of two 5/6 then two again.

But if ur looking to get a cheap flight literally saying u get what u pay for then I recommend Ryan air😁

[@RoadCone411]

I like the review - just flew Aer Lingus from DUB-JFK yesterday for the first time on a trip where I had flown Virgin Atlantic to London just a few days earlier. I was on the A330-200 (yours was a A330-300, similar but slightly bigger.) The food and IFE were basically the same. I'm not sure how I feel about Aer Lingus actually. They were not bad, and I wouldn't avoid them or anything silly like that, but they are also well off the pace of the best transatlantic airlines. Having recently flown across the pond to the British Isles several times, sampling an American B777-300ER, a couple of refurbished British Airways B747s, both a Virgin Atlantic B789 Dreamliner and a B747, and last week, a Virgin Atlantic Airbus A350-1000 (aka 351), I can confidently say that Aer Lingus has the worst hard product of all of them. Perhaps I am being picky: the seats are old-fashioned (I didn't know about the USB in the armrest and fiddled with the power socket under the seat to charge my phone) and in general the IFE feels like it is from a different generation. The Aer Lingus IFE is about on par with Virgin's B747s, part of their leisure fleet, which are on their way out in the next few months. They were great in 2005 but in today's age they just don't have the amount of content that the other carriers have on their newer/refurbished aircraft. The moving map, also a favorite of mine, cannot be zoomed in or out or otherwise customized - what you see is what you get. Even VS' old 747s had a fully customizable map! Compare that to the very detailed map screen on Virgin's new A350, and the addition of a tail and nose camera, and it's no comparison. AA's IFE system was fast and offered a ton of content, lots of movies and tv choices by comparison; it was a nice surprise! I hate to say that I felt bored with the Aer Lingus selection but on a seven hour flight, I was running out of things to keep me interested. With that, I found the Aer Lingus crew to be friendly and efficient, but I also noticed they spent at least half the flight huddled in the back of the aircraft talking away. How about a second drink service or something else to pass the time? The VS crew came around with hot towels and candies/mints in Economy class, but there were no such extras with the Irish airline. BA seems to be hit or miss but I've had generally very good experiences with them and their service has also been very good, and AA was okay on my flight from Miami with perhaps the best food I've had on any recent crossing. Ireland is a beautiful country - although I've yet to properly visit - but the whole Aer Lingus experience was a little dated and not on par with the better airlines. Still, I would definitely fly them again to/from Dublin or Shannon but I wouldn't consider them as a great option for connecting around the rest of Europe. Too many other (better) choices for that. Still, I was happy for yesterday's opportunity to travel with them and your video was on point.

[@iNickRivas]

He meant during the main meal/dinner service. Most airlines in economy will come with drinks before the dinner, then serve the dinner and come back for a round of second drinks or refills. It’s very cheap and greedy that Aer Lingus despite already only having wine/alcohol for sale, won’t do another round of drinks to get more soda or something with the main meal. Since dinner was served like an hour after the drinks, don’t you think most would have already finished their drink in that one hour? Cheap

Good review but I have one thing to point out.. you’re talking about having only one drinks service. It’s less than 6h flight. I don’t know any company that has more than one drinks service (some not ever tea or coffee, specially in Europe). There’s also duty free service, which many companies don’t do. They still give you all the drinks you like if you go to them or press the call bell. The more services the more noise and as it’s a night flight ppl just want to sleep.

Again, like I said, at any time if you ask for a drink you will get whatever you ask for. And most passengers in a night flight just want to go to sleep anyway. No one would want another drinks service… especially if they still get the drinks they ask for at any time 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s not true that most airlines would do it on a night flight. Maybe Asian airlines do but that’s it.

@@iNickRivas and meal isn’t served 1h after drinks, it’s served STRAIGHT after. It could be 15 min or 30 min depending on how busy it is but not more

[@iNickRivas]

@@Press2GetTheCookie he clearly said in the video and replied in the comments it was served an hour after. You need to fly more, I’ve flown them before and never will again, they are very cheap, cheaper than what you pay for. And you will not get more soda or juice if you ask, I’ve seen them say only water on request. Most airlines would not do that, I’ve flown BA, AA, Lufthansa etc across and they all include wine not separate and do more drink rounds (you can find reviews like this one for other airlines on similar night flights), all during the night transatlantic flights.

@@Press2GetTheCookie he clearly said meal took more than an hour after drinks and replied to some comments as well 🤣like I said I’ve flown this and meal time does take an hour or so after the drink gets to you. It’s not them being lazy and waiting, but rather the time it takes to roll out everything, which is why other airlines will do the food and directly behind the drink kart again.

5.8? That flight is gonna suck being a 6.2 Dutchman...

[@LincolnintheAdirondacks]

Oh yeah!!! Lol Are most economy flights tough for you? I’d imagine it’d be cramped

[@Fustercluck01099]

@@LincolnintheAdirondacks hey man ! Thanks for the response, good vid ! Mostly it's okay, Lufthansa, China Airlines, Emirates and KLM are some of the more comfortable airliners for tall folks. Keep up the nice work, looking forward to see more aviation videos after the pandemic. Stay safe bro !

Aer lingus landing in to Dublin Airport

[@Watfordfc2030]

I’ve flown across the Atlantic many times and never ever had to pay for alcohol and that’s economy class also so that’s a first . I guess to keep costs down but I think that’s poor . Aer Lingus are actually pretty decent but this flight I thought wasn’t great if honest . Didn’t load her meal disgusting filth around power sockets etc . I know having a negative opinion isn’t great but honestly a lot better products out there

[@LincolnintheAdirondacks]

All fair points! The flight back was much better than this one, but I didn’t record it :/ lol The best flight I’ve ever had across the Atlantic was surprisingly with United Airlines from EWR to LHR. The worst flight? With United Airlines from LHR to EWR lol

[@Watfordfc2030]

Lincoln Riddle Enjoyed your video my friend so not all negative lol 👍

[@scottbrady6795]

Watford Fc I think the policy of having to pay for alcohol in economy class is changing soon. I believe economy class passengers will get complimentary (limited) use of the WiFi too
