It is sooooo rare to find a video where you can see what actually happens in the aircraft and not just 7 hours of a wing. Thank you for that
You are welcome mate, thanks for your comment 👍

Finally!! Well done
Thank you for this video. Growing up in Holland and moving to Chicago, I flew many times to Amsterdam with my parents to visit family. The first time I went by myself, when I was 22, I flew from Chicago to Amsterdam with Aer Lingus. Airplanes are my passion, so the flights were one of the big highlights for me. Thanks for the extended video, especially in the airport, it brought back a lot of great memories.
You are welcome mate! Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Another perfectly smooth Aer Lingus landing.
As an anxious flyer who's never left Europe, I found this so reassuring as I like to know what to expect. Thanks so much for posting, I already feel a little calmer about my upcoming Aer Lingus flight! (Dublin-NY)
+theyoungparisians Thank you for the comment. Good to hear you became more reassured by watching the video. All I can say is just sit back, relax and enjoy the flight 😊
I,d like this. Seems that Aer Lingus is a pretty nice choice for long-haul flights. And this Airbus 330 looks very stylish too.
Thanks for your comment mate 👍
Markus Schult they're great for 1-4 hour flights on the a320 as well
On the short haul flights you are better off with Ryanair or if you want an A320 easyjet
dublin airport is just so good with the us pre clearence , can save a lot of time, good long haul by aer lingus
thx for the video
+Thai John You are welcome mate. While the US preclearance is still time consuming, passengers who are running late for their flight can get priority in line and if you already have a US custom form (the one you fill in in the aircraft before arrival in the US) you can fill it in before preclearance and save another couple of minutes.
Definately a big plus.
Where in Dublin Airport can I get a US Customs form? In line? I'm an American taking a return trip from San FRancisco to Dublin back to San Francisco.
I flew last month from DUB to Washington and didn't have to fill in a custom form at the US pre clearance. When I flew to Chicago in 2015 I did had to fill in a form, these forms could be found just before going through the pre clearance.
Thanks.
GR8 job on this one as well. X-cellent work. Sham-Rock to my hometown of Chi-Town.
+Jay's O'HareAviation Plane Spotting HD Thanks for your comment 👍 I had a great time in your hometown, hope to visit it again in the future!
Nice trip report! Thanks for posting!
+Australian Flyer Cheers mate, thanks for commenting 👍
I love the take-off you can see the wings bouncing up and down ;)
Another excellent flight report! Great work! :)
+Strahinja Jovanovic Thanks mate 👍
Nice video! Will be taking Chicago to Dublin & back in May. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Quite 🫙
Good video. Felt so real.
Very complete and nice flight report. Thank you for sharing.
+miguel perez Cheers mate, you are welcome :-)
Nice smooth landing as usual from Aer Lingus!
Hey mate thanks for the review I wasn’t sure about Aer Lingus until this video, you just earned a sub
Thanks for watching and the sub mate, appreciate it 👍
Man I don't know how many times I've taken that flight. It used to be that we'd have to fly to JFK or Boston then get a connection as Aer Lingus didn't have a direct flight back then so It was great when they decided to begin services to Chicago. And the fact that it's treated as a domestic flight is great when you get to Chicago as you don't have to deal with huge long lines at customs..
+celticlofts Thanks for the comment 👍
Didnt think i would like these videos but i really enjoy your videos
keep up the good work
+Nathan Bradshaw Cheers mate! Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the vids 👍
Great vlog. I’m heading to NYC this weekend with Aer Lingus via Dublin. Looks great 👍
Thanks for watching, hope you had a great flight👍
THANKS for the advice on camera 👍 really good quality of picture
thanks for the vid, I'm planning a trip traveling out of Chicago to Liverpool and I'll be going through Aer Lingus. I was skeptical on getting economy because I figured if I'm going to be on a plane for 7+hrs I want to be comfortable. I still will probably get business class but I definitely am surprised at how solid economy looks! thank you again!
You are welcome 👍 Business class is definately better then Economy, but like a viewer commented on a video of mine: "Cattle class ain't too shabby"
Interesting video mate - nice one
Calling your paying customers GUESTS. Now that is a very nice thing to do.
Really good video. Taking this flight in February. Best in-flight video if seen so far. 👍
Thanks for watching mate 👍 Glad you enjoyed the video!
nice report buddy!
keep up the good work!
+AviationDreams Netherlands Thank you for the comment, appreciate it! 👍
Very good and interesting Flight Report (Y) especially the vortext at the Takeoff looks great :)
+Flight time Cheers mate 👍
This was so cool! 😻 I'm grateful you shared this, I'm going on holidays this year (dunno why yet) but this gets me pumped far 😂
+Forever Gracie Cheers Gracie, enjoy the holidays 👍
I'll be on this same flight in roughly 6 months... It'll be my second flight ever, and it looks like it will be quite enjoyable! Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video! Enjoy the flight 👍
Awesome flight report! Liked and subbed :)

Air Lingus looks like a great way to cross the pond! Very nice airline.

Fantastic video..!!
Cheers mate 👍
Cool mate! Subbed!
Awesome mate 👍 Thanks for watching.
Great video, really nice all around! I'll be making this flight in two months or so and am looking forward to filming it, too! Subscribed :)
+Miles By Foot Thanks for your comment and sub mate, safe flight :-)
It always surprises me that just above the clouds on the dullest, darkest, greyest days in Ireland.... it is sunny and there are blue skies. I know that obviously the sun is always above the clouds but my surprise is more to do with how close we are to nice weather but yet so far away.
You used a Go Pro with a suction cup! WOW ..... I wouldn't have thought of that! Excellent idea :-) We will be on an Aer Lingus flight next month... thx for the video.
+Montana Snowflake Thank you for your comment Montana, have a great flight with Aer Lingus next month 👍
Hope u enjoyed the flight
great video
+Mateusz Siwinski Yes I did enjoy the flight, thanks for your comment 👍
i have a report from ORD to DUB. Great video!!!
+Leroy Tyler Cheers mate 👍 I'll check your video later or one of these days!
Great vid whoever you are
Thank you for this. Flying from LAX to Amsterdam on Aer Lingus. I hope he customer service when well.
Nice video. A lot of good details.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching 👍
ill be taking this exact flight in 2 days!!
Wonderful! I love airplane videos.
If you ever do a JFK to Shannon, I might wear out UA-cam entirely watching it so often.
+Sam Wheat Cheers Sam! Don't know if I'll ever do that flight, but you never know...
We are flying Aer Lingus next month to Ireland. We are looking forward to our trip with this airline.
Awesome, enjoy the flight 👍
Thanks alot! I have a fear of flying and I'm soon going from Dublin to Boston and this really cleared my worries
Thanks for watching mate 👍 Good to hear my video cleared your worries, safe flight!
Nice report. Excellent format. Food looks a lot better that Air Canada’s transatlantic offering of similar distance. Especially the snack!
The food looks great hehe
i walked through those exact same walkways and terminal and even took that escalator in the start in dublin 4 months earlier
Defenitly worth a sub youre channel!!
+Ismaïl Mekkaoui Thanks for the comment and sub mate 👍
Great Report! Very thorough and in-depth. The GoPro cam moments has some annoying sound, but I can totally understand that its from the casing. Other than that great footage.
Liked and Sub'd! Greetings from Tampa!
+NihselAviation Thanks for the comment and sub mate! In it's case the sound is the worst, now I use the frame, which seems to be less annoying. I have tried an external mic but the sound of that particular mic was worse.
your Geiger counter is going nuts on that flight
Aer linguistic is awesome
The suction cup on the airplane window made me laugh. 🤭
very cool ...
+Porto477 👍
+Window Seat thank You welcome My friend.😍
I made this flight on the St Patrick EI-ELA on the 27th of March, 2014, the first of seven flights I made in the next two weeks, more than I have made on any other trips to America, on to Toledo from Chicago on American Airlines, then on the 31st of March, back on American Airlines to Chicago for a connecting flight to Houston, again on American Airlines then on April 10th to Oklahoma City on United Airlines and on the 13th from Oklahoma City to Chicago on United Airlines for my flight home on Aer Lingus St Munchin EI-EDY.
LOL! Every other flight I''m on there always seems to be a not so happy toddler screaming somewhere on the plane. Bless their hearts....
Still a great video with a great airline in a great plane!I like it!
+Aarij Navid Cheers mate :-)
Nice flight actually
👍
16:25-16:30 ish is the Western coast of the State of Michigan as you go over Lake Michigan.
hello good video! continiou I like this!
Cheers mate 👍
Another excellent flight report! Always excited to see the new content from your channel under my subscriptions list. Any chance your future content is going to be offered in ultra 4k?
+dragonskiss86 Thanks for the comment mate :-)
At this moment I don't record everything in 4K, but I think in the future it could be possible that I'll be recording in 4K. But 4K presents it's challenges for me, editting 4K videos is slower, exporting and uploading takes alot longer also. So yes there is a chance but I don't think it will be in the near future.
+Window Seat Gotcha. I was just curious. In due time.....I know rendering 4k content is a lot more time consuming, as is uploading the exponentially larger files associated with such content. But until then, keep up the good work! By the way, what airfield is that at 17:05? I thought it was Midway at first.
+dragonskiss86 I will do my best mate 👍 Am working on the next one, should be ready in 1 to 2 weeks.
That airport is Chicago Executive airport. In the takeoff video from Chicago to Dublin you can see the same aiport again as we pass it from the other side. If you watch closely you can see "12" on one of the 3 runways ua-cam.com/video/DTaLqkDzVB4/v-deo.html
this is the first time i have watched a video of yours. well done a i love it 👍👍 i cant wait to watch the rest. can I ask how you get to travel so much? work or leisure? it is my goal and dream to do this. happy travelling!
Hi FFF, thanks for your comment 👍 I do this for leisure and fund it by working. I don't stay long on my destinations, 5 days at the most and I look for bargain tickets on the Internet on a daily basis. For the trips I do and some hotels I stay I also save some FF miles which allows me an upgrade or promo award ticket once in a while.
A Great Job my friend!!! :-) the trip report is perfekt!!! :-) the airplane looks Good and the Terminal is nice!!! The A330 is a good aircraft!!! What are your next flights?? :-D
+Paul Hofer Thank you my friend 👍 My next trip is next week Ams-Auh-Cgk on KLM/EY. Should have been on the new KLM Dreamliner, unfortunately the delivery to KLM is postponed so it will be a KLM A330 for me...
I've flown that route many times with AL over the last 30 years. We used to have to fly to New York and get a connecting flight to Chicago as Aer Lingus didn't have a direct flight to Chicago back then. I would hazard to guess I've made that trip about 30 times over the years and in all but a few cases I've flown with Aer Lingus. I last few with them about 4 years ago and the Airbus we used was just a bag of rattles and the seat I was in didn't recline but it was still a pleasant flight overall. I hope for the passengers sake they've replace that aircraft with a new one at this point.
Fantastic trip report. The lavatory's spacious for economy. I think US preclearance is quite convenient.
interesting VERY INTERESTING, I was on a flight from Dublin to Chicago in august with the same flight name, only I was gate 401 not 406,
4:22 THOSE PLANES ARE STILL THERE, man they were there when I landed and two weeks later when I departed, they do not move do they
+dontlookatender it depends on the availability of the gate. for example if and american airlines was due to arrive at gate 401 at 7am and was delayed until 9 then the next aircraft that was ment to use that gate will use the next available gate. lets say the inbound flight from chicago landed at 9.30 and the american was using its original gate then ei would get moved. and because ei dont move their aircraft out of there parking positions until they head back to the us that afternoon then they stay in the gates they were moved to
+dontlookatender Dublin has a busy trade in repainting leased aircraft. (75% of international leasing companies have offices in Ireland) Often these aircraft are parked at the airport for up to 3 months between leases.
is that why every so often we see the likes of qatar airways and the german lufwaffe using DUB?
oliver jumelle well Luftwaffe fly to Dublin on a regular basis and Qatar airlines are setting up a new route.

Another great flight report. Have you ever flown business class with Aer Lingus?
+Seán McClean Cheers mate! Unfortunately I have never flown Aer Lingus Business Class. It looks great, but in comparison to other airlines it's quite expensive. I hope I will find an error fare or good deal in the future, would like to try their Business Class...
it’s funny that yesterday i took a flight from dublin to sf in gate 406
Superb report as always! One question though, how come you did not film the landing with your GoPro attached to the window?
+TheChosenRed Thanks mate 👍 On approach my camera mounted on the window ran out a battery so instead of replacing the battery I grabbed my other camera and filmed it by hand...
I flew out from Dublin that day, but to Gatwick not Boston 😕
Nice video , i was always curious about Aer Lingus , i heard they will be re joining the Oneworld Alliance in 2017 , then i will try at least one of their routes.
Cheers mate 👍 They will receive the first A350 in 2017 so maybe a good occasion to fly with them.
Window Seat That sounds like an extra good reason to try them , thanks 4 d info.
They need to improve the service if they're going to Oneworld, especially the food.
I'm guessing you never flown on Aer Lingus.
No , i haven't.
Hello, Window Seat! Thanks for this video! Was your in flight meal complimentary?
Hi Hope, thanks for your comment, glad you liked the video! The meal and soft drinks are complimentary. There is a charge on alcoholic beverages, and if desired you can also pre order a (paid) 3 course meal through the Aer Lingus website.
Great video excellent quality. Have you ever thought of getting sponsored to travel? Some companies send people out to write reviews, take photos or all around exploration. I think you would be great at it
+Mel Sharkey Thank you for your comment Mel 👍 I know that there are people out there who do sponsored travelling, I don't know how to get sponsored by a company to be honest.
Thanks for the compliment 👍
that was an very soft landing.
Does the A330 for aer lingus have outlets for 2-prong devices? Gonna be flying to Germany in a month and this will help me know if I need to find an external battery source or not
+Ebessan No man, unfortunately not. At least, where I was sitting, I don't know if the other seats have but I don't think so.
Enjoy your flight!
im flying from dublin to chicago soon and im like bUrStInG with excitement
Can you bring a travel pillow and blanket? Does it count against your personal/carry on allowance? Flying overnight and I can’t seem to find any info on this. I’d rather not use the provided ones
One of the older A330's. The current ones have much bigger and better in-flight entertainment screens.
+wiltner Thanks for the info mate 👍
Aer Lingus great airline
Hi, great video first of all:)
I have a question. I´ve only flown with a a380 on a long haul flight. and it was very smooth and I didn´t feel the tubulence that much. Because the a330 is a little smaller, was it more bumpy and is it comfortable?
It doesn't differ a lot. The A320 is so different from an a380 but an a330 is quite similar
+wasim zemerly no their all pretty much different
At 1:26 there's an escalator up to Gates 407 - 426 - the non-US gates. I thought this was a secure area separated from the rest of the airport. It looked like a couple of passengers were going up that escalator but I'd have thought anyone going to Gates 407 - 426 would not be on the lower floor in the first place.
Just so you're aware, that's an A330 not a 757.
busy airport love the color scheme of those green planes did you like flying on the a330 or 777s
+Ryan Belden I like flying on both the A330 and the B777, but the B777 is Bad Ass and therefore I prefer the B777.
How tall are you? Looking to make a similar trip in the next couple of months and trying to see if I can stand Economy or should upgrade to the next class up.
The GoPro mounting looks very good to me... I'm looking for something like that... It's the original by GoPro or it's another Brand? A answer would highly appreciated...
+GJGBTL231 It is an original GoPro.
Surprised you didn't opt for the premium economy meal again. Do you think they're worth the extra price? Last time I flew EI to the US the free meal was terrible
+ShamrockGoldCircle Thank you for commenting mate 👍 Is the premium meal worth the extra money? Well, depends really. I did enjoy the premium meal but the meal I ordered also included wine and salmon, which I don't eat/drink. But I knew that before I ordered it. So I payed for something I didn't consumed. But the chicken was good, and I bet the potatoes which should have come with it were also good. So if you are going to consume everything it's worth the extra money in my opinion. You do need to verify to the cabin crew with a voucher, which you receive after ordering, that you ordered the meal.
On the other hand, the complimentary meal served on this flight tasted quite good. The reason I didn't ordered the premium meal this time was that I was curious of the complimentary meal.
Hi, Window Seat. How does the Aer Lingus 757 compare to the Aer Lingus A330 in your opinion? My flight in February from Dublin to Newark is showing the 757 and I am worried it wont be as good an experience.
Hi skerr10, Thanks for watching my video. To be honest I prefer the 757 over the A330. I've flown 2 roundtrips DUB-US on the 757 and once on the A330. I think they use the 757 on routes that are less popular, and therefore these flights have a lower pax load (except on holidays). On all the flights with the 757 the pax load was around 60% maybe and had 1 seat free next to me, which means a little more space for me. On my flight with the A330 pax load was more like +80%
Main differences between the 757 and the A330: the A330 has 2 aisles and inflight WIFI, the 757 has 1 aisle, no WIFI and a USB port for every passenger.
Enjoy the trip!
Great Video. So do you recommend Aer Lingus for transatlantic flights?
Cheers mate 👍 I most definately would recommend Aer Lingus for a transatlantic flight. Good service and IFE on board, decent to good seat picth and last but not least: Pre clearing US customs in Dublin... Huge advantage.
Yes I would too. I was in / out of J.F.K. airport a lot from 2007-2011 and have a brill experience flying Air Linus. Would I be right in saying Aer Lingus have a terminal now in JFK or a hub?
Would you recommend the exit row? I'm flying to Dublin in 8a. Worth the upgrade?
Well, that depends on where you are flying from (actually how long the flight is) and if you are a tall person. I am 1.69m and I never take an exit row because I don't see any advantage for me to do this. But if you are tall and the flight is 8 hours or longer, it could be worth the upgrade. You could also consider to upgrade on your way to Dublin and if you like it upgrade for the return flight. Enjoy the flight 👍
I made this flight on the St Patrick at the end of March, 2014, then on to or back to Toledo.
On Tuesday I’m flying on the same plane, from the same airport. Just to Orlando instead of Chicago.
On the TVs thing their touch screen whatever you call it in the music section I wonder if they'd have Taylor Swift on it cuz I'm flying it it in 3 weeks cuz I'm moving to New York and ooh strawberry moose
+Krusty why u dissing her???
I got excited watching your video because I'm leaving for Ireland 2 week from today. Flying from Boston to Dublin on Aer Lingus. It's an overnight flight, so I'm hoping I will be able to sleep. Any suggestions?
+Spoiled Rotten Great Dane Great you got excited 😊 I don't usually sleep on flights. I don't know where you are sitting and how tall you are, but if you are sitting in close proximity to the galley or toilets the activities around these areas could disturb your sleep. A set of earplugs could help. Sitting in the aisle could have the same effect with people passing by, therefore I think a seat by the window is the best seat for a decent rest, unless you can get more free seats and lay down.
Enjoy the flight!
That looked like a full flight :P but flights from hkg- mnl are packed
+GD Snypah Yeah the flight was quite full, I would guess 90% or more.
Going on Aer Lingus ATR from Newcastle to Dublin and then Dublin to Orlando Tommorow on A330
Awesome man, enjoy the trip!
Daniel Metcalf how was it?
Daniel Metcalf How was it? Looking to go from Chicago to London (via Dublin) in October and I am NOT a good flyer. Did you feel safe? .
