As a frequent traveller of more than 10 years with Aer Lingus, I have seen them grow from a small provincial airline, into a vast international company. Through this growth tehy have never lost that unique Irish Hosptality. the fact that Aer Lingus Commuter has grown from aroung 30 cabin staff to almost 300 i believe, has not prevented all of us frequent travellers being recognised and warmly welcomed.
The new, and ever expanding fleet means that journey times are being reduced, despite ever increasing traffic in and out of Dublin. the only drawback this has had is in the decline of what was once an excellentin-flight catering service. With EDI-DUB flight times reduced in recent years from 1hr 10min to just 40 mins on average, and with more than double the amount of passengers, little wonder that we are served cold open sandwiches. The staff struggle now to give the attention to the 'front cabin passengers' in the way they used to, but the courtesy and friendliness is still miles above most other European and US airlines in my opinion.
I for one will never abandon Aer Lingus for the cattle class of the other discount airlines operating out of Dublin. In fact I go out of my way to use Aer lingus on every occassion I can.
I only hope that with privitisation and the need to keep the new shareholders happy, that the 100,000 welcomes continues.
I would urge anyone travelling to Ireland to try this airline for themselves.
