Join me for this 6 hour journey in #BusinessClass aboard the #Airbus #A321neo #narrowbody!
The crew and passengers of EI126 from #Toronto #YYZ to #Dublin #DUB were lined up and ready to enjoy this #AerLingus flight on Sunday 26 September 2021, all masked and raring to go!
We left about on time, arriving in under 6 hours. I got a chance to enjoy the #KLM #airportlounge before departure with some fantastic views of the apron.

Patrick is always so kind and thoughtful in these wonderful videos, he took time to thank cabin management ☘️☘️☘️
You’re very kind to notice, Gary
Hi. I just wanted to mention I really enjoy the way you edit your videos. Always a great pleasure to watch. Keep ‘em coming!
Hi COA! That’s a really thoughtful comment, thank you. I’ve really only been going since June and it’s hard to gauge how things I’m trying are received. I think - like anything - it improves over time (I hope so!) and I don’t want to become too formulaic, so I’m interested to see where this journey takes me (and us)! Glad you are here! Pxo
I really enjoyed the series. Thanks for taking the time. I think that you have a great attitude for travel.
That’s really nice of you to say, ATC. It was fun to make and I feel I’m learning to edit and travel better as I go along.
I’m editing some older footage for this weekend and I can see a difference!
Very much enjoyed the series. Thank you. "Grumpsters in a dumpster " love it lol
I’ve been a grumpster in a dumpster for a long time 😂
Thanks Willie, glad you enjoyed it!
Back to Iceland this weekend to try to get that series finished!
Awesome trip report Patrick! Keep them coming!
Thanks BoB!
Hi Patrick, new subscriber from Toronto. Enjoyed this video as I'm researching a trip to Ireland with my dad who is 85 and will need a lie flat bus seat. This flight and configuration looks perfect. Appreciate the detail you provided about the class of service and the seat amenities. That massage feature looks fabulous. Thanks again for your review. Cheers, K
Hi Kathryn, thank you for the sub. This kind of narrow body is becoming the standard for transatlantic trips and the business class service and lie-flat beds are really everything you need. I hope you have a great trip with your dad!
Just received my "Upgrade yourself" upgrade for the same flight you reviewed. Now even more looking forward to our trip. Thank you for the great preview of my flight!
Great to hear! Good luck with your upgrade and enjoy your trip!
Watching Now Patrick very well recorded ,perfect picture ,and you managed to be heard despite all the back ground noise ...Well done
I appreciate it, Martin, thank you!
Noisy cabin!
Loved this series! New subscriber, looking forward to more! :)
Well I’m delighted you are here and took the time to comment. I enjoyed making this series and I hope there’s more for you to enjoy in what’s coming next!
Thanks Patrick. I just love your channel. I am flying out on Aer Lingus Toronto to Dublin and onto Dusseldorf at the end of May. Economy there and return. Looking forward ti checking out these new planes
Hi JM! Thanks for your lovely comment! I think you’ll enjoy the narrow body plane just fine… some commenters do prefer the wide body for moving around, access, how it flies… but I found the A321neo just fine for these pond-hopper routes. Enjoy Germany!
Hey! just saw this video! Another video to look back at! I wonder what the future will be like!
Who knows?!
Hi Patrick Another Cracking Video I Have Flown From Glasgow To Dublin Numerous Times It Has Mostly Been With Aer Lingus And Evan It Being A Short Journey I Allways Found Flight Staff To Very Helpful Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it, Henry
Great review, and the service looked good. A genuine alternative to travel across the Atlantic.
Couldn't agree more! And - if you happen to catch the fare options at a good time - it can be reasonable.
You had the same cabin manager as me when I flew on the A321 from IAD to DUB!
Oh wow, small world, VA!
There is something very different about your flight reviews, i can’t quite find what it is but i absolutely love it. You have such a pleasant vibe about you. ✈️
Glad you like them! And it's very kind of you to say that. Generally, I'm really happy to be going anywhere on a plane!
How was the meal looked amazing the potato skin with the cheese oh boy.
Potato skins with toasted cheese... mmmmmmm. So good!
I am looking to fly Aer Lingus from Manchester to New York next February which would be on this type of Aircraft so thanks for the great review. I am looking at all options but a flight out in Economy and back in Business is a definite option. Whilst the overall product is not as good as Air France on their 777 the price of that has shot up in the last 4 years since I last flew with them to New York so this is an affordable alternative which avoids a change of planes and especially doing half and half and once you factor in the extra 100 euros for a small amount of extra leg room in economy.
Thanks for your comment and I’m glad you enjoyed the vlog. This is one of my favourite ways to create an itinerary to the US - the day flight TO does not always warrant a business class fare while the return does give you the chance to sleep in some comfort.
Hope you enjoy some of the other videos and some more upcoming treats!
Those views from the lounge are amazing! Wait, somebody stole the belt?! Please elaborate?! Lol. 8:03 is super relatable also, you know it’s gonna be a looong flight! Lol but I always feel sorry for the parents too. I’ve really enjoyed the Canadian series and look forward to the next adventure! The business product looks nice but I’ll be sad to see wide-body aircraft slowly disappear. I think €330 on top of the original fare is a bit steep, I understand it’s great to have especially on an overnight but I think €330 + original for a single trip is expensive. Can I ask the total cost?
Can I ask a huge favour? Could you put the name of the songs in your videos in the description? Some of them I really enjoy! Especially the one as you approached Dublin. Those bottles of drink looked cool and I’m sure tasted even better. Looking forward to the next video :)
I guess the belt ‘accidentally went missing’ 😳
Yes it’s tough on the parents. The baby was very upset for a lot of the flight and must have been exhausted as well as upset. I can’t believe Canada is over! Now time to draw Iceland to a gentle close before the Baltics Series starts.
I use Epidemic Sound. Let me pull something together on that soon. Pxo
I've had a look and below are the songs from this video. As I was saying, I use Epidemic Sound and I've started adding a link in the description for people who want a 30 day free trial (and if they use my link, it helps me out too). www.epidemicsound.com/referral/jct7sn
Anyway, these are the songs! As follows:
The Big Easy - Bozooka
The Light from Within - Howard Harper-Barnes
V1rgo - Ambre Jaune
Weather Any Storm - Cody Francis
Don't waste that cheesecake, send it to me! I love a bit of cheesecake.
You could have had it. Cheesecake not my fave! 🥸
All those little baby bottles of booze! So festive :-)
I’m not surprised I slept so well! I couldn’t drink that brandy, though! Too strong for my tastes!
Why does Aer Lingus use the KLM/Air France Lounge?
Good question. I guess (and it is a guess) because they have insufficient traffic to warrant their own lounge and this lounge is best positioned near the gates used by international flights.
“It’s not as extensive as he normal menu on a transatlantic flight”. Were you not flying Toronto to Dublin across the Atlantic, or am I missing something?
This flight was during Covid restrictions, so the usual more extensive transatlantic menu was not available.
Thank you. I’m flying from DUB-PHL in July. Bases on your review, thank god I was able to change my seat to 3k!
i absolutly would have paid 330e extra for the seat, on my recent aer lingus flight the upgrade was over $3300 dollars over the already $1200 ticket for one of the legs, way too much
Wow that’s a HUGE difference. Demand must really have soared in the last couple of months.
I’d find this interesting as I did the outbound leg’s report, however your 06:30 release time ( ☘️), has me not ‘Setting a reminder’ as I don’t want to be woken at such an early hour 😴. Perhaps release your vids at a more socially acceptable time ?
Hi Cedar Key. I hope you will be sound asleep at 06:30 if you're in Ireland!
I feel really lucky that my vlogs have started to be watched in lots of different places and, so it's hard to find an ideal time for a premiere. I usually release either at 7.30am or 8am my time as I'm an early riser and I can answer any questions before I start work. I'm happy to push this to 0700 am for tomorrow.
I'm sure you know, but just in case another reader does not, that the video is available for everyone right after the premiere.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Hope you enjoy it when you see it!
Patrick
@@PlanetPatrick ah I’ll definitely watch it later in the day. Enjoyable videos.
No worries, so. Take care.
i heard they put a few sprinkles during their jingles for your dingles that you drink. Enjoy your jingle dingle sprinkled gin....
Ohhhhhkay.
no flat lie seats????? whaaaa?
Of course there are.
Hi Patrick loved the vlog just be careful touching elevator buttons screens etc with you finger, loads of Covid and other germs there.
Hi Inver! Good call! Always a bottle of sanitiser nearby but I think I should make sure I show that (and always use it). Thank you. Pxo
So just watched your trip back. All very well edited and looked like an enjoyable trip. Not a great fan of Toronto myself, it’s design as a city is quite claustrophobic insofar as most streets have buildings placed at each end thereby creating a sense of being enclosed. This is unlike other large cities in Canada and the rest of North America where the long avenues etc seem to go on forever. I have to point out one aspect of your video the idea being a tad annoying though. At 13:30-13:45, you discuss mask wearing and declare that they’re a necessary inconvenience because they ‘keep us safe’. Yet at 09:15, you remove it to drink your undoubtedly lovely G&T. If this doesn’t show that the whole mask thing is a load of nonsense, then nothing does. Apparent deadly pandemic is neutralised because we are having a bite to eat or enjoying a nice drink. Anyhow, keep up the great blogs, highly enjoyable and don’t be allowing your GoPro fall behind those electric seats. Waiting for engineers only delays everyone going home including the cabin crew. At that time of morning I’m sure everyone wanted their beds 😴
We were lucky... the engineer was on the bridge and the plane was not yet empty by the time I had my GoPro in my hand.
@@PlanetPatrick ah fair enough. I’ll withdraw my claim that you delayed the whole crew going home to their beds in that case . 😂
