Even though I'm Irish, I have to say that I'm not particularly proud of our state airline. Having flown with them about 20 times in the last year, I can say with a degree of authority that they are one of the tardiest airlines out there. Of the 20 flights, at least 17 were over 20 minutes late, of which 6 of those were over an hour late. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I haven't had the same problem with other airlines that I've flown (British Airways, Luxair, KLM, Crossair, Ryanair, British Midland, Delta, Royal Brunei).

The whole Aer Lingus experience is nothing exceptional either - steward/esses tend to have delusions of superiority more often than not, while the food is unplentiful. Most Dublin-London flights seem to offer no more than a packet of peanuts by way of nourishment.

All-in-all, disappointing, and I tend to avoid them where possible now (my company has some kind of group deal with them, so avioding hem can only occur for non-business flights, in case you're wondering how I've stuck with them for 20 flights.)
