- Transatlantic flights from Ireland are always a bit shorter, but that doesn't mean the seat is any less comfortable, or the food any less plentiful.

I worked for Aer Lingus for over seven years and had to resign when I got married... even now 55 years later.. when I see the shamrock on the aircraft high up in the sky my heart flutters with pride☘️
Nice
Even though you had to resign. Very misogynist. Who could have pride on that requirement?
Very misogynist ??? About what? Pride on what requirement ? Don’t understand your reply.... 🍀
@@maureenmartin4730 A company forcing you to leave the job when you got married? Did that policy apply to the men working there too? That’s misogyny! Or similar to the modern day slavery or indentured servitude under which M3 flight attendants work today.
@@davidbalcon8726 Legally in Ireland at that time, you were required to retire upon marriage as a woman if you worked in the civil service (aer lingus was state owned at the time). Yes it was very misogynistic.
I flew Aer Lingus in December from Dublin to Boston and my aircraft was one of the newer A330s. I found the service amazing and the crew were very friendly!
These are getting really frequent! I always love waking up in the morning to find a new simply aviation trip report
Probably have a few on the back log and are only now uploading them.
just flew aer lingus from düsseldorf to seattle with a stopover in dublin and i absolutely loved it! the pre clearance in dublin makes travel so much easier for non us passengers and aer lingus is a brilliant choice on transatlantic flights
It is salutory to note that the kingpin of passenger aviation, Ryanairs Michael O'Leary will not contemplate transatlantic services at the present time. Low cost airlines have tried it such as Norwegian airlines but have failed. Flying across the big pond must be hard for a no frills airline.
I actually really like Aer Lingus, their food is actually pretty nice, the seat is really comfy and there's not much to complain about :D
I assume that you never got their 'bbq chicken'. It was awful.
@@samtan4729 Yeah, right
AerLingus beef with noddles I had on my flight (same route as this one) looked like diarrhea mixed with sauce thickener and tasted like nothing. Pre-landing snack was a wrap with what felt like raw chicken in my mouth. The worst part: I only had to eat that since my vegetarian meal was not loaded for BOTH flights.
@@samtan4729 as a crew wroking for aerlingus, i agree. Try the vegeterian option is a lot better
@@samtan4729 Airline food is rarely good unless you’re flying 1st class emirates or something.
The US Pre Clearance in Dublin is great. Last year when I flew to Boston, I arrived at a domestic gate and it was the quickest exit from the airport ever. Literally 5 minutes walk to the taxis
I did the same thing when I left Bermuda to JFK.
It makes it a lot easier to make your connecting flight.
good to know that
Is it clearly indicated where you can you if you have been pre checked? Thinking of traveling to the US via Dublin because of this but not wanting to end up in the wrong line at board control once landed 😂
@@user-ez4jy6jj4gyou don't have a choice - if you're boarding a flight to the US, your gate will be past the pre-clearance controls.
I've always found Aer Lingus crews to be very friendly and helpful, comfortable seats and nice food. Thumbs up from me.
The Irish have to be some of the friendliest people on Earth!
@@michaelreid8857 you are right!
I really enjoy watching these videos as l will never do them myself, going along for the trip is just like being there...thank you
Great flight. Feels privileged having preclearance facility in home airport. I think this aircraft is workhorse, after arriving from Paro and doing turnaround, it's departing for Transatlantic flight after that. Looks like blanket stored somewhere by flight attendant and will be provided by request since this flight counted as daytime flight.
I agree with what you said about pre-clearance. I have experienced that travelling from Canada to the U.S. Very convenient!
The silence lets you imagine youre there. You can hear the backgrounds. Love it. Very lovely video and presentation. Looking forward to my upcoming trip.
Great review. I also like that you can enter the US already in Dublin and after that you don't have to waste sometimes hours at the border control in the US
I flew in Aer Lingus on this exact flight in February, really nice experience
I flew Aer Lingus from Manchester to Orlando I was impressed great service & friendly staff.
Preclearance is simply amazing! I spent 2 hours at the JFK customs after an 8:30 hrs flight, that was outrageous! Hope this procedure will expand to many more airports.
It will not be expanded anymore according to US customs. Only Ireland, UAE, Caribbean and Canada!
@@colors6692 😭
It's not as simple as offering a service at an airport, it requires a signed treaty between governments.
The crew on Aer Lingus are definitely some of the top tear. A pretty good representation of how you’ll be treated in Ireland itself.
You’ve got great hands Felix.... Thumbs up for who wants to see more of his face! 👍👍👍
The A330 flight looks comfortable enough with Aer Lingus.But back in the day their 747s on transatlantic flights were so much roomier and spacious.!.Memories.
Used this flight in December 2017 and I fully recommend, immigration carried out at Dublin took 20 minutes saving 90 minutes at JFK and I recommend taking the meal upgrade if it's available, I had steak outward and salmon on the return, plus you get served first! It's a win/win and the only time I have eaten all of my in-flight meal.
Sitting at airport right now.. Washington to Dublin, nice!
Excellent trip report as per usual Felix!
I enjoyed this video a LOT. Bravo. I'd love to fly with Aer Lingus into JFK or some other US airport!
When you think of Irish airlines only two come to mind, the flag carrier Aer Lingus and the budget airline Ryanair. Both airlines are nice but when it comes to service Aer Lingus goes over the top
ASL Aviation and Emerald Airways are the other 2 Irish airlines
@@Mugdorna and Aer Arran Islands, Cityjet, SAS Connect.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
I actually travelled on that plane on the 17/10/14, in 24K if memory serves me right. I went from Malaga (AGP) to Dublin (DUB). It was so comfortable. Especially this plane is special because my older sister just told me she was pregnant with her first child who is also called Aoife. So it is an amazing plane and thank you for putting this up. 😁
Really nice content here again. Never fail to impress me
Flew Aer Lingus last year from Boston, it was super comfortable! The food was kind of a miss for me but the cabin and crew were superb! Great content guys!
Agree on the food. And yes to the professional service.
last year I did fly exactly from Dub to NYC with AER Lingus - when I watch the video I get emotional:)!!! and this year again i fl with aer ligus from frankfurt to Dublin and from there to Chicago - 22.08 I CANT WAIT I AM SOOOO HAPPPPPPY:)!!!
Aer Lingus must have the one of the best safety records in aviation, if not the best.
It does not have the best...
@@Mgaffo222 oh? So who does? They haven't lost an aircraft since 1968.
Safety Record does not automatically mean a total hull loss... I am not disregarding Aer Lingus's Safety record I do work as Cabin crew for them and we are all extremely dedicated to our jobs and to the passengers safety that is our No.1 priority. However if we are being real that does not mean everything will always go smoothly. For example 2005 Logan Airport near runway incursion, Aer Lingus Flight 164, 2023 Tail Strike incident probably being the most recent. However even though these things have happened most of them you can really see are not due to crew error or maintenance of the Aircraft. But there are other airlines that have had better safety records. Qantas is probably the best airline with the best safety record out there.@@TheHorsebox2
@@TheHorsebox2 I do believe the safest airline was awarded to Qantas
@@Mgaffo222 Fair enough.
Flew aer lingus for first time last October. Seriously impressed. Us clearance was a bonus too
i love simply aviation so cool
Great video, I really hope that Aer Lingus upgrade their A330's to the A330-900NEO
There getting a350s instead 💖
@@SquirtleAviation When IAG took over Aer Lingus, Aer Lingus had already ordered 4 A350-900's but IAG gave them to Iberia
@@777cpt no they are still getting them 💖
I hate the enforced darkness which so many airlines seem to think is normal. I will always keep my window blind open and, on transatlantic flights, chose a seat on the aircraft right hand side.
Great aviation video man :D
Great video. Btw you’re right about their planes being called after Irish saints. They named their flight simulator ‘St. Thetic” ☺️
Omg ..😂😂
I flew on one of these only a couple of weeks ago but my experience wasn't as pleasant as I got EI-EIL and EI-EIK on return flight, both of which are ex Qatar Airways aircraft and we're not up to a very high standard.Also on my flight there was blankets in the overhead of the back of my cabin section
Really amazing video! Liked!
Pro tip - when you get your meal put your butter/ margarine or sometimes the cheese they give, under your hot meal. By the time you've finished it is soft and melted and is lovely in your bread roll!
Looks like a great way to fly to the US. Nice video.
Another very nice video. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed your flight. Aer Lingus is one of the oldest airlines in existence, since 1936. It’s safety record is outstanding, 87 years, 12 accidents, one hijacking and “only” 87 fatalities. (RIP😔) it’s our world Ambassador and we’re all very proud.
U.S. customs & immigration pre- clearance is also available at Shannon airport though it’s important to note that filming is strictly prohibited in the U.S. clearance areas and being caught could ruin your day and vacation, I strongly advise against that, once you’re through and in the departure lounge, you can go full Spielberg! Ireland is also the second largest market for commercial aircraft leasing and maintenance services, Airlines around the world trust us for our rigorous standards.
Use Aer Lingus for a visit to Ireland and we’ll all make sure you have a great time! Safe travels.
I worked for a large semiconductor manufacturer in Ireland and I had to take early retirement being unable to keep up with the rigourous demands of a highly regimented and heavily defined work place and conditions. While sorting out my next career step I met up with people from the aviation servicing and maintenance sector. Their tales of workplace oversight and inspection made my workplace look like free thinking libertines in comparison.
Many of the workers were subject to endless inquiries and inspections in which a negative result could have meant instant dismissal at very short notice. Every move had to be signed off and much time was spent ensuring no mistakes or omissions were made. Not a place for an absent minded person with a low attenetion to detail.
I flew on that same aircraft 3 weeks ago from Chicago to dublin, however on the outbound and returning there was a charge for alcohol and the same last year so either I got very unlucky or you got very lucky 🤣🤣 great video
Soft drinks are free. Alcoholic drinks have to be paid for. Not that expensive though compared to some airlines
Fly from Shannon Dublin claim to have the pre clearance first but Shannon was the first to have it. Less hassle fly from shannon
Thank You your video was super 😊
YES DAVID/FELIX
YA ABSOLUTE LEGEND YIZ
Kudos for the cupla focal as Gaeilge at the end!
Here where I live in Edmonton I believe all flights to the US also have pre-boarding customs is very helpful to walk away when you arrive in the US! Also, I will say border personnel in a foreign land are MUCH NICER than the ones in the US. It may be because I am from Brazil and they hate us but in general every time I did the immigration in Canada it was super easy took seconds how ever when I am flying from Brazil and doing the immigration in the US I was bombarded with questions and it takes 10 20 minutes sometimes. And even on flights from Canada, where I did the immigration in the US they were much rougher than any immigration I did for the US at a Canadian Airport.
As a Canadian who grew up in the States and have traveled many times in and out of the US. I agree 100% with you.
And imagine I am a White Male, Traveling on a UK or Canadian passport and at the time had a US Greencard.
I actually found the easiest entry spots before 9-11. For myself (a white Male). Was at the Mexican border.
The agents wouldn’t screw with anyone white and who spoke perfect English.
That shows you how they are (for the most part) a bunch of Racist M.F.s!
It’s no wonder that all the wealthy and middle class Mexicans, are now coming to Canada and avoiding the USA all together!
All Canadian airports with regularly scheduled commercial flights to the US have US preclearance customs.
@@heidirabenau511 Yes but they are not open 24/7, I had a few late-night flights without the custom being done in Canada. Still had to do it upon arrival in the US.
To be honest, out of all of the airlines that I've flown with, Aer Lingus has definitely got tye best economy class experience.
Subtle share as always. Greetings from Turkey.
Excellent video please upload more like this
Best intro of all time 😍👌
Very nice vegan curry !! 🍛 👍👍Smooth flight & landing !! Nice report !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🇨🇮💞
There used to be mural in the Dublin airport of famous Americans of Irish descent, i.e. John F. Kennedy. I wonder if that is still around.
I love their livery
ayo this is right after my birthday!!!!!
Amazing video, the size of their coffee cup has drastically reduced!
Thank you so much for always sitting behind the wing.
I have sat in that same seat en route to New York on the same aircraft!
Nice video, thanks for sharing 👍👍
Aer Lingus A321LR more better choice for crossing Atlantic. Bigger & modern IFE system and more comfortable seat.
Unless you were on their newer 330. They've a more modern IFE
11:19 it seems the meal came complete with the chefs hair😂
You can tell it isnt a thumbnail of a picture of his a330-300 because the airport in the background is Manchester not dublin
i hope our flight with aerlingus in 3 days will be as a good as last time we flew but knowing how good they were last time im sure they will and i hope we get shepards pie again as it was the only good aeroplane food i have had on any flight
Nice!
I flew on a night flight it’s aer Lingus and they offered blankets soI am guessing it is only night flights
The a330 is a wonderful aircraft for passengers
Great video, I liked it very much. Never flown with Aer Lingus but they seem to offer a good service on board.
I have one remark tough, could you use another colour for your teksts. White is hardly readable against a licht background, perhaps you could use yellow in the future?
It hurts my soul that the national carrier of IRELAND hands out a Dutch owned margarine with their meals. Ireland produces the best butter in the world, whyyyy would they do that.
If you notice on the script he says he'd pre ordered a special vegan meal. I also noticed that margarine in slight disbelief but his vegan status explained it.😂
It's not the National carrier of Ireland...it's now sucked into IAG...British Airways, Iberia, and Vueling....the only thing irish on the plane is the shamrock on the tail fin.....
I'm going on this airline for my school's Spain trip. Just wanted to see if it was nice or not lol.
They are the best , the end
Was on that same aircraft JFK to Dublin last year.
Just a quick note ,Ireland is the only country to have American pre clearance at the airport, a passenger does a US immigration, operated by US border/ customs officials, in effect the area is considered as US territory. You arrive as a domestic flight, No checks done in America,
hi what apps is that... that you use to track down your plane it looks brilliant thanks..
Hardly any engine sound when rolling on runway for take off ?? Thanks for the video
Yep - dinner looked good. And I hope that the non-vegans had proper Irish butter on their trays.
What is the name of the app that you were using in Dublin Airport? I’m going to see if I can use it for my Delta flight to
Minneapolis in eight days
Ill be flying on one of those this Thursday. I just can’t wait for it!
Really want to fly to new york one day
does anyone know how long the pre clearance takes at dublin woud an hour between flights be enough thanks
James Kelly 16th May 2023.
Myself an a couple of relatives glew Aer Lungus; Dublin to JFK back in August 2020. Amazing experience. Flying back to Dublin we entered the Jet Stream and flew supersonic for most of the way. Only took 4 hours for the flight, not the usual 7 or so hours.
How long did the preclearce take? nice vlog.
Hey! How do you do the intro map with the flight path on it? Would love to know for future..
more reviewers need to show the overhead panel so we know if they have ari vents or not. am naturally a hot person (body temp wise not looks wise unfortunately. LOL) so i need the air vent. i flew air europa 2yrs ago and the only negative i had about them was no air vent. i felt like i was in an oven for 9 hrs. ugh. so i try avoid airlines with no air vents if i can.
I prefer the green livery to the new one they’re now using .
In my opinion, there are multiple things to improve. As you said, the placement of the audio port is annoying. The entertainment system is okay, but doesn't look that big or has a big variety of movies and shows.
Most important: They should have handed out blankets and the wrap is to little and should have been warm / hot.
Daytime flights. Less than 7 hours. People don't usually sleep.
@@Mugdorna It's not all about sleeping it is about comfort.
This is the older IFE screens. The newer ones are sleeker and brighter
@@noahbersier5849 Then ask your mom to get you a blanket
I love flying shamrock ☘
I flew into dublin on aer lingus in june of 2022 from ORD
Can u please try the new Iberia's A350-NEXT Generation? All 3 classes have improved a lot!
How appropriate to fly from Ireland to JFK…:D
I would like to know what the other meal options are. I understand you can't show them all, but just letting us subscribers know what other options are available would be great. Love the reports, just my $0.02!
I'd love to see your myflightradar24 statistics and the map
After clearing the US Border at Dublin, an A320/321 and 737 have the range and plane size capabilities that can handle LaGuardia’s shorter runways.
Hey the seats look similar to the ones Singapore airlines used to use on their a330s
As on AC
What app did you use to show the flight and plane info?
Flying to New York from Dublin in a few months and torn between JetBlue or Aer Lingus. Which do you recommend?
Just like Lisbon Portugal 🇵🇹
Glad they are still serving pre meal aperitif drinks, unlike some EU carriers. Wine and beer is always complimentary unless you fly some US carriers
They moved to Terminal 7 now
Alcohol is definitely not free in economy class! Was on same route last week and paid about €7 for a gin and tonic lol
