Caring & friendly crew. Most important: got us SAFELY to our destination!

OK overall. Flight was delayed Crew on flight was good

I love the direct flights. It saves a lot of hassle and allows immigration and customs in Ireland, making arrival much easier.

One of the best flight experience I have had in along time. Would fly with them again.

The space between seats was reduced even further. Could not even open the tray table fully and got compressed the moment the front guy reclined. For a long haul flight it was extremely uncomfortable.

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.

Really lovely trip and flight. The flight staff were so accommodating and warm throughout!

Flight was great. Had to wait almost 100 minutes for luggage (some problem in the delivery). This may not be an Aer Lingus problem, but an SFO problem.

the room on the plane was good but that is because flight not sold the other three seat and I had room. the food in terrible.

Excellent long haul experience really enjoyed using Dublin pre-immigration
