I’m pleased to say that Nicole and Hannah, who were looking after us up front, were excellent, both to me and the other passengers.Īll things considered, I wouldn’t hesitate to fly Aer Lingus again on a long haul flight. Of course a crew can make or break a flight. Having never flown the airline before, the flight to Barbados exceeded my expectations.Īer Lingus offers a solid seat in its business class cabin and the meal service was surprisingly good. Conclusionĭespite Aer Lingus’ position as the ‘value’ airline of IAG’s three mainline carriers I was impressed. The airline offers a choice on all courses and the presentation and taste was really good.Īll too soon we had reached Barbados and it was time to land. I was really surprised by the food on Aer Lingus. I enjoyed the egg and mayo sandwich although I struggled to identify what the other sandwich was! I would have preferred to have scones to the profiterole and other desserts they had on offer but that’s just my personal taste.

It was wrong on the first point and has had to lease some A330 aircraft from Qatar Airways to enable it to operate its full schedule from Ireland ….
