On time arrivals and departure, good in flight entertainment, courteous flight attendants, decent meals, reasonable seat space
Close was excellent. Comfort was very good. The food was marginal.
Didn't make the connection as my primary flight was 3 hrs late, I had to basically beg to be put on a different airline to continue my trip otherwise I would have been sitting on the airport for 8 hrs
Best service we’ve ever experienced! Special thanks to the crew member who took care of us throughout the journey. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We love Swiss Air!
The boarding of this flight was total chaos. For some reason, all passengers had to stand in a lengthy line at the gate to have our passports checked for the FOURTH time. No reason was offered for the necessity of the fourth re-check, and when we got to the end of the line, the check was perfunctory. There was little to no crowd control at the gate and in some cases, tempers were flaring. On the other hand, once we got on board, everything about this flight from start to finish, especially the quality of the food and the service, was probably the best I have ever experienced..
Boarding was very chaotic, we had to stand in two different lines that were not clearly marked, and the announcements were not understandable from the microphones, and we speak both German and English. We paid Kayak $120+ for seat assignments when we purchased our tickets but when we printed our boarding passes, suddenly we had been changed to 16 rows further back than our assigned seats we paid for. The seats we were assigned to on our boarding passes had no usable overhead bins and so we had to sit with our carry on backpacks underneath our feet in an already crowded space. One video/entertainment screen kept crashing and thus was useless for viewing anything. It was not an enjoyable flight.
The biggest plus point of this flight is that the crew was very friendly. Otherwise on European sectors, the Business class seats are a joke and there is no entertainment of any kind. The staff should be trained to greet the Star Alliance Gold members to make them feel special.
The seat and leg room is small on the 2 seated row. Otherwise, very good crew and service.
Entertainment sounds were not good. Otherwise everything else was good.
Business class seating in Swiss really is just Economy seating minus the middle passenger
My luggage was lost and still has not been found. Apparently there is a disconnect between Aer Lingus and American Airlines regarding the transfer of luggage that needs to be corrected.
I flew Aer Lingus Business class for the first time. Having flown economy a few times, I was familiar with the airline, and happy enough with economy. I’ve certainly been in nicer economy airlines before, but Aer Lingus is usually very reasonable, and I find the staff to be kind and have an Irish sense of humor and accommodation. The business experience was good, in that you got superior service to the back, lay down seats, better food and drinks, and more attentive service. However, the plane was a bit older, the WiFi was slow(not Starlink) and the pods were too close to one another for privacy, or function. When the Oder lady to the left of me fell asleep(fully reclined) there was no way for me to escape without having to wake her and put her seat all the way up. That lead to me being stuck with luggage I couldn’t put away in a cramped(for business) space, and no way to use the restroom for almost the whole 8 1/2 hour trip. I ended up trying to sleep with a large backpack blocking my feet. The food was good for plane food, but not great. The drinks were great, shame I couldn’t have had more, but I’d have peed myself. I love a window, but next time maybe an isle seat. Overall, the experience was good, not great, but an expensive good experience during which I got zero sleep. I’d do it again, but it’d have to be a deal.
The direct flight was a superb idea; please continue. The seats were less than comfortable for such a long flight.
Faster charging ports but that’s a super minor complaint.
Check in was excellent. Signs were easily understood and everyone was helpful. Everyone we spoke to was helpful. The crew was excellent.
I didn’t fly because the airline canceled my tickets on the last minute..
The check in and boarding process was smooth, and the flight was fine.
We had a wonderful experience with Aer Lingus. The seats were too close for the long trip. The crew was absolutely perfect. They were so caring and thoughtful! My husband did not have a good experience with Air Lingus on the phone when trying to take care of getting better seating because he is disabled and needed a wheelchair prior to the day of our flight! Mariam R. in Boston was so helpful with seating and getting help for my husband. Filip Pytka who works for OCS was extremely helpful! He made sure that we had the lift because my husband could not climb the stairs to get onto the airplane. He took us from the gate all the way down to where we needed to be.
Aer Lingus App never showed the gate and the board did not update until very close to the time the gate was due to close. Both planes departed late but no announcement was made which would have saved a run for the gate.
Aer Lingus interior is not the cleanest. I've seen crumbs on the seat and wrappers on the floor when I boarded
I liked almost everything (e.g. ease of booking, price, punctuality, efficiency, friendliness, courtesy). A slam landing in Dublin airport took some of the gloss off it, though. Being able to paste here the text of the review of the same flight that I just wrote for Ryanair would make me feel better about Kayak too.
Take off was great but landing is always with a bump.
Staff were very professional. Much better than the outgoing flight from Dublin. Seat cushions were practically non existent. Making for a very uncomfortable flight.
They were extremely unprofessional and unhelpful at check in. They did not understand laws related to Spanish residents flying with family It was very discriminatory the way we were treated.
It's not the staff's fault. The cabin crew do their best but the setup in Stansted Airport by Ryanair is poor. The herding of people like cattle is unacceptable before boarding and is something that's in every airport but only in Stansted have I seen the queueing of passengers outside the plane on the tarmac and the crew only turning up with maybe 5 minutes to depart. This is a resource issue . Yes prices are good but seemingly comes with a price of poor treatment of customers. I'll pay more next time
Flight was fine, crew were good, cabin director spoke far too much; disembarking at Dublin Airport and entry into the terminal building was just dreadful, like entering the back door of a neglected factory building. What an awful impression it must give to first time visitors to Ireland.
all fine - did not have food - there was no entertainment
Delayed delayed delayed and then cancelled very late not allowing for too much time to find a room for the night
Worst experience ever. First time and last time with Ryanair. I'm not a cow.
Didn’t like anything about it we were delayed by 3 hours and sat on the plane when leaving Dublin. On the way back to Dublin we were kept in the plane on tarmac for 4.5 hours. This airline is a joke!
