Generally they are good with nice new airbus aircraft and friendly and experienced cabin staff. <BR> <BR>IMHO better than any American airline, BA,Virgin, as good as Lufthansa, Qantas but not as good as Singapore airlines, Cathay Pacific. <BR> <BR>depends on the crew I guess - hope you have a nice trip

They're only OK. The food is MUCH better coming OUT of Ireland, that's for sure. <BR> <BR>No way is Aer Lingus better than Virgin Atlantic! <BR> <BR>Terri & Oliver Tattan <BR>Independent Nikken Wellness Consultants <BR>http://www.wellness-consultant.com/ <BR>Ask us how to get 10% off our entire online catalog! <BR>

I flew with Aer Lingus from New York to Shannon on March 17th, 2000, St. Patrick's Day. <BR> <BR>I like to sit in the Exit Row due to my height. At check in, when I asked to switch, they said they had no exit row seats available. At the Gate, they said they had no exit row seats available. <BR> <BR>So we board the plane, and I ask for the chief purser. I said, if the exit row seats become no-shows, I'd like to switch into those seats. Well it turned out that of the four exit row seats - they were ALL available!! <BR> <BR>I ended up with both seats on the left side of the plane. But be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. <BR> <BR>On this Aer Lingus flight - about six hours and change...the configuration of the plane was such that ample space in front of me - became a waiting area for the bathrooms, so there were alsways people in front of me, chatting noisily, and there was the sound of the flushing - !! <BR> <BR>Aside from that, the service was good, the food OKAY, the flight took off and landed on time, and my luggage arrived with me. <BR> <BR>
