  1. I’ve always thought Aer Lingus was great, especially compared to Delta etc. Never had a bad experience on Aer.

  2. Just spent over 2 hours on the phone to Aer Lingus today too confirm a flight I’d already booked online. Joke of an airline

  3. I hate very few people but I reserve a particular level of hatred for Tim Dillon. He is the type of over indulgent moron that only New York can produce. He tried to do the whole Joe Rogan great ‘comedian’ migration to Texas and couldn’t handle the rough nature of suburban Austin.

    Picture a fat, gay even less funny Jennifer Zamperilli on ivermectin.

  4. He’s American so you already know what an entitled arsehole he probably was on a flight and they didn’t stand for his shit. Good on them!

  5. When I visited Ireland in 2007, we flew in on Delta and back via Aer Lingus and it was night and day. Aer Lingus – and the Shannon Airport – were lovely.

  6. Having problems with Aer Lingus myself at the moment. A couple of weeks ago they decided to cut many of their US West Coast flights, probably down to fuel costs and poor bookings. We are due to fly to Portland in June and they essentially cancelled our outward flight which was via Seattle and told us to rebook and if their is any difference in fare we would have to pay. We rebooked the whole thing expecting them to refund the previous booking. So far they have only refunded half of the original booking and are impossible to contact. I would like to echo this man’s frustration at the moment.

  7. All the trash talk re Ryanair, Spirit and Aer Lingus. Wake up there is no difference anymore.

  8. I do like that I can leave only 1 hour between flights when the second leg is aer lingus because theyre always minimum 30mins late. That bonus is offset slightly by the fact that they’ve lost my bags on 3 separate occasions tho so yea it’s swings and roundabouts for me.

  9. Funny that our “national airline” isn’t even Irish owned. Ryanair is more Irish, it has no foreign parent company.

  10. I just came to this comment section to see my fellow Irish get butt hurt because someone insulted our precious Irish airline. How dare they! The nerve!

  11. I feel obliged to disagree, whatever the story is behind this tweet. I was stuck in Switzerland when pandemic hit. I couldn’t get a flight out. My flight which was pre-booked months in advance was cancelled (I was there ’cause I do ski instructing). AerLingus then reached out to me saying they can get me home. There were just me and another Lady as passengers, with 4 cabin crew and two pilots.

    AerLingus has earned my loyalty for life. I don’t care what anyone else says.

  12. Now they charge you bring your hand luggage (10kg) on the plane… I got Ryanair vibes. I was really surprised by that, I wouldn’t have expected it from a company like aerlingus.

  13. Our national airline was sold to a global corporation years ago. You might as well say that Coca Cola is our national drink.

  14. Aer Lingus isn’t even owned by an Irish company it’s British/Spanish. Not our flag carrier, Ryanair though are Irish.

  15. Sorry to burst your bubble but Ryanair is much closer to being our national airline these days. We sold Aer Lingus to the brits a few years ago.
