FIRST FLIGHT REVIEW! Aer Lingus Business Class - A330 - DUB - YYZ -
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 вер 2019
- For years I watched as Business Class passengers boarded first and I always wondered, "What's that experience like?" Well after almost a year of planning, my FIRST flight review video is here!
COST: For this flight I bought a base economy fare at €525rt and used 70,000 avios (35k each way) to upgrade to business.

I wouldn’t say it’s the first time you’re doing this. Looks like you know what you’re doing and you’re so much fun! As a cabin crew myself, thanks for not recording cabin crews faces or voices, some ppl do it and just post it on the internet without permission, besides rude it’s illegal. You did a great job!
Ah cheers! Yeah my intention is to give the crew the privacy their entitled to. Thanks for your comments and for watching!
I like him. He's modest. It's so nice to see that!
Thanks James! ❤️
Great review - love how humble you are and how excited. You look like a kid in a candy store looking at the goodies on the food tray .. great review. :)
I don't know why your videos are not getting enough views and why I am not seeing more flight reviews by you. You are doing an amazing and honest job, please do more reviews and figure out a way to have more views. I am sure you will be discovered if you continue doing what you are doing. Good luck man!
Just loved the enthusiasm of this reviewer.
Great video and great review! This was super super helpful, thank you!
Hiya! Apologies for the delay! I had replied off the mobile earlier but it looks like it didn't post!
Thanks a mill for watching and your kind feedback! All the best in the new year!
I just stumbled upon your video this evening. I have been flying for fifty years and it was so refreshing to watch your excitement. I do, especially since I am older like booking Business Class especially for the extra room and comfort. Have flown with Aer Lingus many times and have always had great cabin crew, meals and flights. I just subscribed to your channel and do hope you will have posted more.🍀🍀✈️✨
Excellent review and video! Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Thank you! I’m flying Aer Lingus next year to DUB, seat 3k & this really helps.
Katrina Francis Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I've just seen this for the first time. Good job!
LOVE this guy - so excited about the amenity kit!! I love it that he's not too cool to show how much he's enjoying everything :)
Aww! Rebecca! Thank you! You're my first youtube comment EVER and you're so kind! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! More coming soon!
He's a pure Muppet and your as bad as him
@@brendankearney3070 he's awesome- it's like watching him open a Christmas stocking when he breaks out the amenity kit! Love it. PS what is a Muppet?
@@rebeccameredith4158 Someone that sounds Stupid and don't realise it, it's a slang word, the guy is off his game
@@brendankearney3070 if you're not entertained by him fine, but no need to be so negative. BTW, since we are educating... notice how I spelled "you're" with an apostrophe? That's how you abreviate "you are". :)
Hey dude keep up the great work, you are a great presenter, keep up the great work, my wife and myself are aviation senior personnel
You did great! So glad you were able to fly business class. Been wondering about Aer Lingus business class.
You did great for a first time You Tube travel vlog, and you picked the best airline. I'm not just saying that because I have family that are employed by Aer Lingus. I'm glad you enjoyed flying Business Class, and will pass your comments on to the proper people. 🙂
Michael Kuecker They really do take excellent care of you! I just posted a new video and I couldn’t fault them! Thanks for watching! Happy New Year!
Lol you’re fun! great first review. Here’s to more! ✈️
Thanks Craig for watching and your comments! Really appreciate it!
All the best in 2020!

You're always fun to watch ! And you were genuinely excited here in the business class !! So cure !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Thank you for this. I absolutely loved it and it has really helped me. I will be flying business class for first time too this year to visit my Son and Grandchildren in San Francisco. I’m 65 now and can no longer travel long haul with my legs down as I’m at very high risk of DVT. Saving for Business Class has been a challenge and Aer Lingus was the only airline I could afford and was so worried it might not be a good choice. You’ve put all my fears aside. Thanks again and good luck to you x
Great video - cant wait for the next one!
Thanks so much for your comment! Next one is Air Canada!
@@Seat5K Yasss - they were my first airline to fly business class with 😀
Fantastic video! I love your excitement! We watch all the same airline vloggers :) and of course I love the “that bothers me” (love Coco)! Thanks! Can’t wait for the next one!
I love Coco too! Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed the review. thanks for sharing :)
Hey Keith! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! We have a new video out and we're giving away a new amenity kit! Be sure to check it out! Happy New Year!
Hey great job on your first review. Very charming & cute. I’ve flown this cabin & agree it’s great !! Cheers
Thanks Stuart! Isn't it great? Loads of storage, the seat reclines into a fully flat bed, the catering is amazing and the crew are amazing! Thanks for watching!
Like yourself, saving is what I’m doing for a flight home to Ireland be it first or biz. Thanks for your review
Ahw my guilty pleasure is looking at flight review vids, pure escapism frok homeschooling 😀 Glad ive found you. Love from Cavan
Thanks so much Sinead! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching! ❤️
Good job!
Thank you!
Bruce you do a MUCH better job then many of those your mentioned before you!!! PLEASE DO NOT STOP making videos
Thanks Bruce! (Great name btw) Definitely not stopping, just taking a short break! ✈️🧳
I could really see myself getting into your channel. Best of luck.
Darragh O'Donoghue Thanks Darragh! Happy New Year!
Awesome acknowledging the trailblazers before you, but kudos on a great job! Keep it going. Lol Jeb Brooks standard
Jo Willard Thanks Jo! Happy New Year!
I loved this video! I am booking a flight from Miami to Dublin in March, and this is the airline business class that is nonstop. Your enthusiasm is infectious! Just one thing, shorts in business class? Not cool.
You are adorable! Love your excitement!
hi, i fly Aer Linus all the time, Had an All Female crew last month BCN-DUB =. Aer Lingus staff are usually great, So glad you found the staff good too, really enjoyed your review!! johnmichael
Hey JohnMichael! Thanks so much for watching and your comments! Aer Lingus crew are some of the best I've ever flown with!
All the best in 2020!

Im with ya Brucie)
What a lovely service EI do. The afternoon tea in a nice big mug, just when you need it. What’s next Bruce?
Thanks John! Next is my Air Canada review! Stay tuned!
Great 1st video. Show us the food in more details please. Good luck with future videos.
Going to Dublin is on my bucket list via AL in Business class, because I am disabled with scoliosis and could not fly overnight in an economy seat; that would kill me.
Oh its definitely worth it! Your legs and back will thank you for it! ❤️
Severely underrated.
Thanks for watching Jean!
You have convinced me to fly business class.
Amazing Brian! Once you do, you'll be HOOKED!
Great video! Regards from Budapest :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
@@Seat5K Yo’re welcome, regards from Ex Air Canada 777-300 crew 🇨🇦✈️
That was so enjoyable. You are going places...literally.Always liked the idea of a dr jekyl Mr hyde type review.
LOVE IT!
@@Seat5K Or just stalk Dennis Bunnik and Non Stop Dan to the airport incognito (but not)....and try and get on the same flight. Oh that would be so amusing. Or travel like Bernie from 'weekend @'....
What I appreciated most, was the excitement you had, and that you paid for it yourself. So many of the travel vloggers say….and it just cost me “X” amount of points. Yea great, but a lot of us don’t have unlimited points in our accounts. Also, I rarely find that I can book the flights for that “little amount of points/miles”.
Congratulations on your first business class! I wonder if Aer Lingus still does their departure and arrival announcements in Gaelic any more. I flew to Ireland 3 times, twice on Aer Lingus from Chicago to Dublin, and I literally cried when we landed and left. Ireland is such a beautiful country! If they still do the announcements as I stated would you please consider playing it? You're a joy! Namaste, and wishing you all the best.
Thanks so much Emily and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. To be honest, it's been so long since I've been on an Aer Lingus Flight that I can't remember if they do the announcements in Gaelic anymore but I'll definitely make note of it next time I travel and I'll post it just for you!
Thanks for watching and commenting! All the best!
They do and the language is called irish
@@TheAyla2004 Thanks for the clarification
I just stumbled on this video this evening after watching a pathetic review by someone else. This young man was so polite and refreshing to watch🍀✈️
Really enjoyed this! I love to see people’s reviews of the Shamrock! And I’m even more so happy to see you flew the A330 with the (old) beautiful livery! Your going to go places with this channel. Quality is great, nice constructive and honest reviews.. keep it up! Subbed.
I’m curious, have your three videos been based on Aer Lingus/ Avios due to flying with Aer Lingus or are you living in Ireland? :)
Hiya!
Apologies for the delay! Your comment was flagged as potential spam for some reason!
Really appreciate your comments and feedback. To answer your question, yes, I've lived in Ireland for the last 10 years! Love the Emerald Isle! lol!
Thanks for watching and all the best in 2020!
Seat 5K - Bruce hey! Apologies for my late response too lol. I tend to end up in spam quite a bit according to creators I watch and my subs! That’s awesome, sure what isn’t there to love about this little island we call home? :)
Just watched your Tenerife video... currently resisting dropping money on a flight lol. Looking forward to more content!
Woah! Great Review... Try to fly with economy class 😊
Hey John! I'm flying economy to the Canaries in January! Stay tuned!
Great review especially biz class,
Thing is i want to know whats the LAX Flight like Biz class as im taking my 15 year daughter but she don't know lol,
Stay safe all 🥂🍺🍻xx
Hey John! Not sure how things will change due to covid but my journey from LAX - DUB was AMAZING! 11 hours of pure luxury with a lie-flat seat! The food onboard is really superb and the LAX/SFO are the only flights that include a full Irish Breakfast! 😋 This flight is by far the best value! When are you travelling? Would love to know what you think! - B
Great video, if you have not seen any of his videos another great blogger is Blake Edgeington. But overall great job, and don't be shy in the airport, vlog your heart out!
Hey! Thanks for the great recommendation! All the best in the New Year!
Paul Lucas and Noel Phillips are by far the most down to earth, nonstopdan is a different story.
Great video, how did you find the last row. I am heading to Orlando in March and seated in the last row of Business. Is there a lot of noise from Galley or bathrooms ?
Hey Ryan! Sorry for the delay! The last row was actually grand. I've sat in the last row plenty of times and to be honest, I don't really notice a difference because the toilets are usually at the front of the cabin. Enjoy your trip to Orlando! Let me know how it goes!
does air lingus flight seats have socktes to charge your laptop?
This aircraft retired not long after your flight. EI-EWR ☺️
Still a great video. With a few tweaks and a cooler presentation format, you could be a great. Happy to discuss. Maybe 'eats, treats and sleepzs' and go into huge details on those. 3 good, 3 bad things.
Register as an agent and sell your direct experience.
Maybe weigh the food and amenity on mini scales.
Or wear a 'tuxedo' on every flight.
Thats a great idea! Thanks for that! Hope you and your loved ones are well!
Great video! Was there any turbulence on your flight?
Nothing really of note. This route is usually pretty good when it comes to turbulence!
@@Seat5K ok cool. Thanks!
Why didn't you go to the 51st and Green lounge after the U.S. pre-flight clearance? It's much nicer, has a great hot and cold food selection, great seating with views of the runways and you're virtually right next to your departure gate.
Hey Kim! 51st is down after U.S. Pre-Clearance and I was only going to Toronto but I’m leaving for LA next week so keep an eye on my instagram and I’ll shoot it!
Green lounge is for all the Leprechauns or what
US preclearance is for US only (not Canadian destinations) Aer Lingus rocks its a shame non stop service to Montreal was postponed
I invite you to try QATAR AIRWAYS in any class to Entebbe, Uganda
I'm travelling Qatar Airways Business Class (Non-QSuite) in March!
I was supposed to fly with aer lingus to Washington DC back on the 3rd of April BUT GUESS WHAT "CoRoNa ViRuS"
Oh no!! I'm so sorry! Where are you originally from? We just found out on Friday that we might not be able to travel for the rest of 2020!
So I feel your pain! Thanks for watching!
Seat 5K - Bruce I’m actually Irish and I was flying to D.C. as a birthday present but we have rebooked for September but we might have to rebook in may next year so fingers crossed September because I love airplanes and long flights lol
Oh I'm with you! I love aviation and and long flights too! I'm hoping to book something for late September to California so we'll have to see!
Stay in touch!
He went down T2 escalator then to the DAA lounge. Then onto T1 for the Toronto Flight. There is no Pre Clearance for Canada (which takes off from T1). There is only Pre Clearance for the US from T2. The 51st and Green is only available to those travelling to the US from T2.
How much did it cost in American dollars
The total was $350 USD plus I used 35,000 Avios to upgrade to business class!
Thanks for watching!
It’s my first time to fly ever and first time to fly with airligus from Dublin to JFK America was it expensive !
SKULL FACE The fare was only €500 return with Aer Lingus and I used 35,000 avios to upgrade to Business! I thought it was good value.
When do you leave?
Seat 5K - Bruce I leave on April 17 gone until 21 of April you saying you though it was good value can explain more about it I am not rich but I want to express it
Well for starters, the Business Class seat is a game changer from economy. It reclines, it has a massage function and LOADS of storage.
The in-flight entertainment is also very good with a much larger screen and noise cancelling headphones.
The food on board is also very good. Large selections of wine that are specifically paired for each dish, 3 course meal and plenty more!
Definitely worth the 35,000 avios!
Good review but you were in 7K not 5K
Hi, love the channel and hope we can stay in touch
Hey James! Thanks a mill for watching and commenting! All the best in 2020!
Are u Canadian Irish ? Anyways I loved it ur brill best I seen💚☘️
Hey Gary! I am Canadian Irish! Lol. I was born in Canada but have lived in Ireland for the last 11 years. I became a citizen in 2015!
@@Seat5K oh u are Canadian Irish ur now have Irish citizenship great stuff ur a natural lad can you do tours of Ireland ? I thought is he Canadian or Irish or both ? I think your fantastic mucks
Sure I’ll do tours of Ireland! 🤣 Thanks for watching and the support!
I'm diabetic .... and I don't have wine or bread with my meals. Otherwise, good job. Especially for your first try.
Good first shot. I hope by now you have gotten less wordy. But your assessment at the end was spot on. I flew Aer Lingus Montreal to Dublin and it was remarkably good. Great food, lovely service and oh did I sleep. There is even a massage engine in the seat! Work on your presentation skills and you will go far.
Are you Irish? I’m from Ireland and listening to you you sometimes hear a slight western Irish accent pernounced in some of your words
I was born in Canada but I’ve lived in Ireland for the last 11 years! I was in Galway for 9 of those years!
I wonder why you have only 237 followers... lol
Cheers Dan! Thanks for watching.
Nothing funnier than watching a gay person getting drunk 🤣!
Nice video thanks for sharing. Camera angles were nice got to try this!
I’m making an air Linus business class report this July feel free to check out my channel if you’d like!p wonder how I’ll find the product to be for myself!
Hey little dude! Apologies for the delay! It looks like UA-cam flagged your comment as spam and was held for review! All good now!
Best of luck with your Aer Lingus review! I hope you get to travel at some point this year! I'll subscribe and follow for sure!
Loved the Aeromexico dreamliner review!
Seat 5K - Bruce thanks Bruce!
You are so cute!
🙈 Thank you!
If there's no comparison to other business class seating per experience, what is the point of giving a comparison? Duh...
Good point. I guess I wasn't so much trying to offer a comparison but rather just share my experience. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe!
Seat 5K - Bruce thanks for sharing! Helps see if the money is worth it :)
Cheers Kaitlyn! Appreciate it!
Pmsl 🤣 Fucking plane is 120 years old! Only in Ireland 🤣🤣
HA! Not quite THAT auld but she's pretty old! lol! The interior is relatively new and I couldn't judge their business class too harshly!
Thanks for watching!
Annoying noise = Probably Children
Can I get an amen up in here? lol. Happy New Year Matthew!
Kinda like an effeminate Seth MacFarlane
I’ll take that as a compliment! 🤣 Thanks for watching!
@@Seat5K It was meant that way 😆👍
send a GAY to do a flight opinion LOL
