    Aer Lingus - the best airline Ive ever been on. Used to go to Dublin twice a year, always friendly staff and enjoyable flights.

    I once had to go to Dublin for the day to attend a business meeting. My company booked me on Aer Lingus in business class out of Heathrow. This was back in the mid-90s, when EI offered a champagne breakfast to business class passengers. There were so many in business class on that early morning flight that the economy section was about three rows at the back! That early morning champagne buzz made it a great flight! 😊

    I've only ever flown from Manchester internationally, as it's the most convenient for me to use. I always went from and to T2, as all my journeys were west to east. I always found it a pleasant enough place to be in, but then, it's the only experience I've had so can't draw any comparisons.

    I've been flying from Manchester Airport since 1973. At terminal 1 (which was the only terminal) where you are airside used to be landside with the large chandeliers. You could go there and use the cafes bars shops etc. You could drop passengers off outside the doors for free or go into the car park and hand your car over to a guy when you used the chauffeur service again for free.

    20:45 that Aer Lingus breakfast is excellent but it’s very hard to encounter and buy these days 😅 they only load I think 5 and it’s just in flights before 11am. You could pre order a few years ago but they stopped that. Also the hot breakfast is only getable on A320/321 flights to/from Ireland UK and Europe NOT the ATR flights on Aer Lingus regional flights.

    13:53 Smirnoff Blue 50% 1 lt at £12.99; is one of the rare bargains in world duty free at uk airports, but they do try to hide it behind the Red Smirnoff which is only 40%. Otherwise it’s an very expensive duty free shopping experience. If your after a cheap litre of Jameson Ryanair do a litre bottle onboard duty free flights for €20.00 but it’s a gamble if they have it in stock or not 😅

    Along with fiddler on the roof & Leprechauns, nobody actually says top of the morning in Ireland 😂😂. Forget Supermacs , you need to try a chicken fillet roll from Spar😂.
    CBP in Dublin is a big draw for the airport & one of only a few outside of the states. Top videos,especially the EV content.👍

    Aer Lingus is part of the IAG group which was formed when BA and Iberia Merged. Have considered flying with Aer Lingus to Florida with the kids would save so much time at Border control in MCO which always use to be a nightmare but the new terminal there might of solved that problem.

Scaned my Eyeball and Checked me out. As i walked forward i said you want to watch the Lady behind because im sure its Rosey West. My wifes face was a picture and my 2 sons were rolling on the floor laughing. Security guy said is he with you to my wife. She said yes sadly. Had some good fun with airport security over the years i must admit.
