Nicest staff I’ve experienced on a plane! Good food, great entertainment, and they gave out little blankets that my kids loved. All in all, great experience.

The Glasgow to Dublin route was very efficiently boarded, flight and landing and disembarkation were all super smooth. Dublin to JFK flight I was very pleasantly surprised overall. This was my first time on Aer Lingus and having already come off the short regional flight I was curious to know how the international flight would go. Aircraft was solid, entertainment options were better than expected, flight crew were experienced and operated like clockwork. Main entree left a little something to be desired but the snack was very tasty. Boarding and disembarkation again very smooth and pilots got us in earlier than expected. Would definitely fly again

Unfortunately the flight was delayed for 50 min. Just as we were about to board so that was a drag. The boarding was average. The bag check in process was new to us and efficient. And the flight itself was smooth- basically no turbulence.

I liked how they looked after couples by providing a row of 4 seats if available.

It was ok not that much because I always travel with Emirates airlines, Etihad, airlines, Qatar airlines compare to them food and comfortable was too low . Staff was good . Helpful

Noted in last review. Good to know, though air Lingus on European flights does not offer any food or drink, even though we were on the plane for 3 1/2 hours from Naples to Dublin everything you had to purchase even water.

Seats were alarming close to the row in front of you. I didn’t do the measurements online, which I’m sure they’re available, but it seemed much tighter than other planes, but the airplane itself was well maintained and looked fairly new. My only complaint on the staff was that we’re on an international flight. Normally they give you wine with dinner and the flight attendant decided to pull some strict restrictions and wouldn’t give more than one glass of wine per person, and you could not share with your spouse, which seemed ridiculous when we have four people on the plane with us and only one person ordered wine asked for a second one and she said oh absolutely not. It’s only one per person Which on a transcontinental usually is not the case. They’re very attentive on making sure everyone is as comfortable as possible.

Booked through Kayak, couldnt take flight, Kayak punted to Orbiz, Orbiz punted to Aer Lingus, Aer Lingus said sorry about your luck, try Kayak/Orbiz. Terrible customer service collecting air fares and not even offering a voucher when customers cant take flight

Very polite and helpful staff. Jet blue…ok, but not as helpful!..

The worst flight ever. Sitting in plane for 4 hours delay and then they change crew. No water or food offered to any passengers including children in that time. Only 2 toilets out of 3 operating for flight with 200 passengers. Only enough food available for about 7 rows of seats depending where you sat you might be lucky. Cabin crew very unfriendly.

Unnecessarily delayed and remarkably inefficient boarding contributed to a significantly delayed departure. Seats/legroom astonishingly uncomfortable even by Ryanair standards (minimal legroom plus reinforced plastic seat backs ensure you get punched hard in the knees every time the person in front moves, and as a 6-foot passenger I had nowhere else to put my legs. Upon late arrival at the gate in Luton we were kept waiting another 20 minutes before being allowed off the plane. Both Easyjet and Wizzair are currently a better bet.

The flight arrived within 15 minutes of schedule. We hate the cattle-like boarding process seen often in Europe. After your boarding pass is checked by the airline staff, you wait standing up in an area with no seating for several minutes.

Big delay on run way not much explanation why, missed a important meeting in Dublin, maybe if they did nt persist measuring everyone bag over 2 cm we would have got off on time.

The punctuality of f the flight was super: we left on time and arrived about 20 minutes early - and the cabin crew were both friendly and efficient. The only downside was that Ryanair appears to have resumes its old obsession with sizing cabin bags again after a long and welcome absence.

I liked nothing. An extremely uncomfortable flight, staff were rude, no ice for my drink. 4 hours of misery

We had a delay. That made me feel anxious because I arrived out of time

Seats are very small, I’m not a big person, but the person beside me was using his seat and half of mine… and this person was a bit gross but not a lot…

We were diverted to warsaw and there was zero information. We were just forced to disembark and off we go good luck the reat of the way. We all had to go our ways to find a way home!!!! Horrible horrible and it cost us alot of money to get a hotel and trains 4:30 pm next day.

Blood contaminated tissue was stuffed to the back of the seat in front of us.

The plane was over an hour late taking off... the plane was rather tired looking, seat cushion was thin and uncomfortable, the sound on my entertainment system wasn't working... crew are not friendly.

We boarded the plane and waited for 30 minutes ultimately for them to cancel the flight due to engineering issues.

They delayed my flight from Toronto Pearson for one hour and Frankfurt to Abuja for 2HRS, So sad

Love the little chocolate bars, and consumer rights in EU regarding stepped refunds when flights are delayed.

The flight was cancelled due to tech problem with the plane

When I booked the flight with Cheap Flights I actually booked in Business Class. When I got the confirmation it showed that my flights had been purchased by Cheap Flights in Economy Class with an Upgrade to Business Class. At first I was surprised and then the problems started. If you are not a seasoned Traveller you would not have been able to handle the issues this created. 1: the lay over time for the connecting flight in Frankfurt was 45min, which is extremely short and even the slightest dealy would have resulted in me missing the next flight. 2: the checked baggage allowance in Buisness class is 2 bags/ ea, 32Kg., however, my ticket being booked in Economy with an upgrade to Business only allowed for 1 bag/ 23 Kg. when I did the online check in my Boarding Pass showed a checked in Luggage allowance of 1 bag/ 32 Kg. which was very confusing. I called the Airline and asked what my checked in Luggage allowance actually is and was told 1 bag/ 23Kg. Since I have a frequent Flyer Status with the airline my baggage allowance increased by 1 bag / 23Kg. When I arrived at the airport I asked to be booked on an earlier flight, in order to avoid the stress and possible missed connection and I was lucky that this was possible. If this had not been possible, I would have missed my connection due to weather and even I am not quite sure, if and what the consequences of my cheap ticket would have been. My point being: if all of the above would have happened to an unsuspecting/unseasoned traveller, this trip would have ended in a disaster. The issue with the pricing is that the alledged money my airline received and what I actually paid to Cheap Flights shows a $1,000 difference. In conclusion, I would stay away from Cheap Flights if you want a hassle free experience!

My flight from Krakow was delayed over 2hrs. Since i had connecting flight i was worrying that I will not be able to catch flight from Frankfurt to New York. NO information NO help, no one was able to help and let us know if passengers will be able to catch the next flight. Had to run through entire airport and (2) passports control hoping that maybe still be able to board the plane. When i got to the gate i was informed that plane was waiting for passengers that came from delayed planes. Flight departure an hr late. So i run throu airport almost having a heart attach just to fin out that they knew and they were waiting for us. I was just 5 minutes later after "official" boarding ended and they were still letting passengers in, and flight departure an hr. later.

The Lufthansa app needs a whole revamp flight got delayed and it kept showing original time. Communicate better with you customers

Crew were professionals. However, the plane seats are too small -essentially there is no space to move around which for so many hours is almost inhuman but certainly unacceptable. Same with the bad quality of food and the fact that you need to purchase Wi-Fi

Sorry, I’m not a fan of United. The seats are just too cramped and uncomfortable if you are traveling very far.
