Air Lingus is in fact Aer Lingus, Aer being Irish (Gaelic) for air while the Lingus is an Anglicisation of an Irish word meaning fleet. I Have been flying with Aer Lingus for 5 years now and my first trip was to JFK in New York. This was a chaarter so I got a load of drink and I was going away for the summer so we had good fun. Since then I've flown with them many times, mostly to Heathrow but also to Paris, Amsterdam and Chicago. I have always found the staff to be very helpful and friendly and the customer service is very good even if you're in the cheap seats. On the long haul flights they take really good care of you. Nine times out of ten I'll choose them over anyone else and in comparison to some of the fairs you get with the budget airlines they're quite competitive. In the last few years they have made some real efforts to be more competitive, they're now part of the One World alliance with BA and American Airlines and they've launched a new online booking service in the last few weeks. If you can get an upgrade to Premier on the Heathrow route as the lounge is very comfortable and the care is excellent with a nice meal by airline standards and some champagne.

Aer Lingus certainly have a good reputation, I have never had the opportunity to fly with them but did receive details of their loyality scheme. I am sure the natural Irish charm and hospitality will be reflected in the service they offer to their passengers! ciao!

Good to see another fellow Irishman writing on the site. (Although I'm Scottish by birth, but an Irish citizen) Thanks for adding me to your CoT, and rest assured I'll keep an eye open for your new opinions. Best of luck. (Ken)
