Ryanair VS Aer Lingus | Trip Report | London to Dublin and back!

[@PilotStudd]

My first trip report, give me any feedback you’ve got, it’s much appreciated! A small correction, I got the Dublin terminals confused, I arrive with Ryanair to terminal 1 and depart with Aer Lingus at terminal 2, I hope you enjoy!

[@pattralee]

I was just about to correct you on that one.

[@Tianton1]

That Ryanair landing into Dublin looked really smooth!! Nice video all the same! Loved how wet and cold you looked up in Howth!!

[@PilotStudd]

The camera doesn’t lie 😂

Please more of the tripreports, this was the best tripreport i‘ve ever seen ✈️

[@katopeeps8564]

Just want to correct a slight error: In Dublin Ryanair always uses Terminal 1; Aer Lingus uses Terminal 2

[@PilotStudd]

Yeah whoops! Thanks for the correction :)

[@jbaviation1]

that Dreamliner/Ryanair livery was beautiful!, nice video as always!

[@yuenbarnby8228]

I love trip reports!!! Great video and something a little different!!

[@alexisarteta1409]

Excellent video! 👍👍

[@123fockewolf]

By watching the landings from my computer looked like that ryanair landing was much better smoother and not long flare as in that aer lingus! Great report!

[@PilotStudd]

I’ll be honest I think GoPro stabilisation helped out Ryanair, it felt much bumpier then it looks ;)

[@123fockewolf]

@@PilotStudd Oh I see! but really long flare buy the lingus XD two great airlines anyway

[@80sfreak14]

Having flown both more times than I care to count I can say Aer Lingus is better on routes such as Dublin to Paris or Rome because from my experience they were only ever €60 more tops which for me is worth not having to deal with Beauvais or Ciampino, or on a long flight. However on a flight like Dublin to Bristol with a short flight time and one airport I wouldn't hesitate to choose Ryanair if they were significantly cheaper. Just got back from Milan and we flew Aer Lingus to and from Linate and we're heading to Edinburgh with Ryanair in 2 weeks so I honestly couldn't live without either ✈. Great report I really enjoyed

[@bastienandre1836]

This trip report is so good, congrats!

[@PilotStudd]

Cheers Bastien!

[@Cgaming365]

Really good trip report! Interesting the whole way

[@shboyle]

Ayy totally wasn’t expecting this 😉

[@RYNT1157]

Have flown Cork to Stansted a few times and it was fine , the fare was cheap. Have flown Aer Lingus to LHR from Cork too , LHR is more convenient for some parts of London. Interesting report well done.👍👍

[@PilotStudd]

Cheers Tom, Glad you enjoyed!

[@guskelly4014]

Great trip report, thanks for sharing.

[@CoordsYT]

Great video as usual!

[@mjc8281]

I used to fly alot from Manchester to Dublin(it will teach me for dating an American and flying across every 8 weeks(you clear US Immigration there and not in the US so its much quicker than flying direct if you time it right)!!!), the thing that I always found uncomfortable is with the runway layout you feel like you fly past the airport before landing with the runway off-set to the side of you.

[@agnieszkakaminska7961]

I live in ireland and it is wonderful

[@eoinoconnell185]

If you have British Airways Avios points, they can be used on Aer Lingus.

[@shboyle]

9:42 this is the ATR that normally does the DUB to CFN route, to the most scenic approach in the world

[@Victor-oz3zo]

Too bad the Amapola F50 is off the route

[@shboyle]

@@Victor-oz3zo yeah, it was great to see that fly over my house every day lol

[@minnietoby]

Nice video well done

[@brianstewart3594]

i was pricing going to london with aerlingus very expensive but ryanair was cheap to Stansted

[@musefan12345]

Dude, if I had known you were over here I would have bought you a pint lol. And the Guinness is much nicer here than anywhere else in the word. Next time you’re over, I’d suggest going to the west of the country. Galway is great city. Lots to do and not nearly as expensive as Dublin.

[@woofvault]

Very cool tripreport mate, nice to be back in the skies innit?

[@ronacm]

Arrived into Terminal 1 with Raynair and departed from Terminal 2

[@aaryansharma9878]

Ryanair buttered? Isn't that illegal ?

[@markmacken1]

Great video but i was looking forward to seeing the new livery on the aerlingus flight.

[@PilotStudd]

Sorry Mark, I forget to film it, it can be seen on some planes entering Dublin tho!

[@swagicebear1688]

is it just me or does the train at Stansted sounded like easyjetsimpilot

[@AGMTB.]

I find Stansted a pretty messy airport. I fly from there fairly regularly and just don’t find it a pleasant experience. For the price of the Ryanair flight, cannot complain too much!

[@oda-san4821]

I miss ryan air hard landing😮‍💨

[@aviationguy1237]

can you do another passenger life in MSFS2020 from Barcelona to Frankfurt pls

[@matteopisu2768]

The camera doesnt lie and Ryanair landing feels much smoother than the air lingus one. A bit of prejudice here maybe?

[@PilotStudd]

Maybe, but I was on the plane, so I of all people would know, GoPro stabilisation takes greater effect on the first landing as resolution changes its impact, I went from 1080p to 2.7k between the two flights. The Ryanair landing was faster with no float unlike Aer Lingus, so maybe that explains it. Regarding the point of prejudice, Ryanair is my most used airline, i really do like them!

[@MerkyAviation11]

Great video, I can’t lie. I hope you enjoyed your flight to my home airport Dublin and touring out the city itself. Should’ve flown on the 16th. The weather was banging and there were so many people there at the time. I’ve been on Aer Lingus like 3 times and I’ve experienced what you’ve experienced but Ryanair, No Comment cos I’ve never been on the airline yet. Would’ve liked to see more details such as the seat number both flights and both aircraft registrations.

[@PilotStudd]

Thanks for the feedback! Both my seat numbers were revealed on the price bit (and I think I said it), and both aircraft registrations were listed in the bottom left corner around boarding :)

[@bfairs]

Can you talk again about the qbit 737??

[@SupernovaeTech]

Dang £40 for that Ryanair flight was highway robbery. I've flown from Dublin to both Luton and Gatwick for €8 each way. The stupidly cheap fares are frequent enough that personally I don't see the extra cost for BA or Aer Lingus as worthwhile. Obviously Aer Lingus's relatively new T2 at Dublin is a lot better than Ryanair's wing of T1, but I'm not sure it's worth say 5-10x the price. BA and Aer Lingus have the benefit of flying to LCY and LHR, both of which are better than Luton and Gatwick. The train from Luton to London is sometimes only £3.50 which really helps keep travel costs down, especially compared to the train to Stansted. If travel dates are inflexible and Ryanair doesn't have any cheap seats left, I'd fly a legacy carrier, especially if it was only 10 quid more. Personally, on sub 1hr flights I don't care about the product too much if I don't have any extra bags. I had a 4.5 hour flight on a Ryanair Max 8200 and the 28 inches of pitch would have been miserable if I didn't have the row to myself. I'm honestly going to avoid the Max 8200 to the best of my ability on flights over an hour or so. The 30 inches of pitch on a 737-800 is just so much more tolerable, even if the seats themselves are just as short and uncomfortable.

[@RJS4287]

I was shocked when I flew from Stansted. Cramped and very uncomfortable - even Lounge was tacky. Very poor compared to my regular Asian ports like Changi & Incheon. Wonder what first impression that gives of UK to visitors though LHR & LGW are hardly world beating.

[@johnbourke1053]

Always fly Aer lingus to Dublin

[@Mista_Spicy]

Imagine dieing on a Ryan air flight I wouldn’t even wanna talk about it lol

When did gb lift masks in airports

[@PilotStudd]

About 2 months ago I believe :)

[@Dubtenor]

I enjoyed your trip report and your other content but a half pint of Guinness ?? You could get deported for that carry on in Ireland

[@PilotStudd]

Certainly didn’t carry on in Ireland, and the Weatherspoons Guinness was watery not creamy so it was a safe bet, many a pint in Dublin was enjoyed though! Thanks for watching, Joe 😂

[@Dubtenor]

@@PilotStudd you’re welcome keep up the good work!!

[@aerodaan]

That Ryanair landing was not standard, it seemed to be a soft landing instead.

[@PilotStudd]

It felt bumpier and harder then it looked on camera! I believe GoPro stabilisation helped it out, I’ll turn it off next time 😂

[@matteopisu2768]

@@PilotStudd did you turn the stabilisation off on the air lingus one?? As sure as hell that was a lot harder. Also have you heard about the shock absorbers difference between the b73 family and the a320 family?
