Cheers Andy. They are grand. I still wish they threw in a few free drinks but hey-ho! We are actually using them to fly to Orlando via Manchester later this month. I’ve been saving up to buy myself a few drinks on the flight lol! When are you away next?
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 Not until next year, was thinking of flying from Bristol via Dublin to San Francisco and being able to do pre clearance, we live near Bristol.
@@mars2100 I’ve seen a few people do that with Aer Lingus who are from the mainland. Pre-clearance is a game changer. Never been to San Francisco- looks so good!
Great video, thanks for the review. Yes this plane, the A321neo us also used by easyjet, this is just a modified version for long haul flights and they're becoming the future of long haul air travel with variants of this being made for even longer flights to places like florida from Europe
Thank you for watching and for your comment. It seems so. That’s twice I’ve been in one now transatlantic. It’s fine but not lots of room. I was lucky there was no one in the middle seat so I could move my bag.
13:31 Pre clearance is so volatile. Went through in June, no queue and took literally 3 mins. Saw photos from a couple of weeks before this and the queue snaked under the escalators with long waits. I’d always recommend people to assume it’s gonna be busy just in case 🤞
Thanks Scott. Yeah, last few times it seems they are only putting US citizens through full security again, whereas non-US travellers bypassed it and went straight to border control. How was your epic US trip by the way?
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 loved it! Definitely not a relaxing trip, but those aren’t my style anyway! Drove just shy of 3500 miles between me and my dad and saw all sorts of landscape, met loads of different people and experienced 110°F heat 🥵 Used every form of transport too-car, plane, bus, train and boat 🤣
You’d be a rich man Andy! As you can probably tell, I’m all about the food. Especially after a 5am alarm and a 2.5 hour drive to Dublin. I was ready for it! Hope you enjoyed the video.
Can I ask you a question? I’m flying from Dublin to Chicago soon and want to take my friends some home made tablet and packets of sweets too. Would this be allowed? Thank you
Thank you so much for subscribing and for your question. You should have no issue taking those with you. Either in hold or cabin baggage. We travel with kids a lot and would go crazy without taking sweets with us! We’ve never had an issue taking any kind of food items with us. Enjoy your trip!
I don’t think you would have to declare it. It would depend on exactly what it was, I suppose. We’ve just downloaded that app too- looks like a game changer to reduce waiting the other side. Hope you have an amazing trip!
Great video. Shame BFS isn’t great. I think they need to knock it and rebuild a new terminal😅it’s so old
I agree. They are actually building a new terminal at the minute but there still isn’t any flights to the US from there.
Great video, we have been thinking of flying with Air Lingus

AERLINGUS FFS 😅
If you pay for a seat at the time of booking, you can check-in on-line up to 14 days before you travel.
Thanks Enda. I didn’t know that. App only said check-in opened 24 hours before. Hope you found the video useful.

Sounds amazing Scott. Great memories made no doubt.
I wish I had a pound for how many times you said breakfast

Really informative. I fly with them next week to nyc and his gave me some good insight

@@thekennafamilyadventures5 thank you for your reply. I’m from Scotland so would like to take some traditional things over for them to try.
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 forgot to ask, I would have to declare that? I have downloaded the CBC MPC app to help getting through customs
I don’t think you would have to declare it. It would depend on exactly what it was, I suppose. We’ve just downloaded that app too- looks like a game changer to reduce waiting the other side. Hope you have an amazing trip!
Are we Live?
H Nigel, this was recorded a little while back (May) but I hadn’t had the chance to post it until now. Hope you enjoyed the video.
