Aer Lingus Business Class Review

JFK-DUB-EDI, GLA-DUB-JFK. Business class from JFK with a stopover in Dublin, and very pleased with the experience. I felt obligated to submit a review since our experience was so positive. Business class seating was very nice, as we had the newer aircraft both ways. Seats are angled lie-flat, but compared favorably to LH’s Business seats. Fairly decent selection of movies and TV shows, although the audio selections weren’t wonderful. Flight Attendants in both directions were very attentive. The food was surprisingly good. We were on the late flight out of JFK, so there was supposed to be a light meal service with full breakfast in the morning. We started with tasty canapés followed by an optional cold chicken plate — optional because some people chose to sleep right away. The only disappointment was breakfast, as the eggs were overcooked. Dinner on the way back was very good, with smoked salmon to start and good beef as a main. Both business class check-ins were very quick and pleasant. The lounge at JFK was very nice, and food was actually very good. The only downside was that it was outside of security, so we had to make sure to allow enough time after relaxing in the lounge. The lounge at Dublin was very nice, although with limited food. We had to deal with two economy class check-ins and flights, DUB-EDI and GLA-DUB, and both were painless. The agent at GLA checked our bags all the way through to JFK even though the two legs had been booked separately. One bag did not make it to JFK, but it was located and delivered the next day. All in all it was a great deal for good business class service. We would definitely do it again on the same routes, although we probably wouldn’t want to be in a full economy class plane going from DUB to Athens or Rome.
