There are a lot of mysteries in the world. For example, crop circles. Who or what is behind them, and how do they suddenly appear? Well, the same is largely true regarding a billboard that has just sprung up near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.…
It's supposed to be an exciting year for Aer Lingus. The airline is undergoing a brand refresh, and they've been growing consistently and profitably. The most exciting development for the airline this year is supposed to be that they're taking delivery…

She's baaaa-aaaack... Azealia Banks, a 27 year old rapper from New York, is no stranger to controversy when flying. Many of you may not know who she is, but may recognise this track, which is probably her most well known.
A couple of days ago I wrote about how Aer Lingus plans on rebranding for the first time in nearly 25 years. At the time there was a leaked picture of the new livery. Today the airline officially revealed their rebranding at a ceremony in Dublin. If…
We've known for a while that Aer Lingus is shortly going to be announcing a brand refresh. Rumor has it that the airline will be revealing their refreshed brand tomorrow. Most notably, this will include the airline introducing a new livery and new uniforms,…
In 2015 Aer Lingus was taken over by IAG, also the parent company of British Airways and Iberia. Aer Lingus and oneworld have had quite a history so far. Aer Lingus was part of the oneworld alliance until 2006, at which point they pulled out, realizing…
The last time I flew Aer Lingus business class was back in 2012, so I was curious to see how the experience changed, especially given that Aer Lingus installed new business class seats a few years back. At door L2 I was greeted by Glenn, the cabin service…
While Aer Lingus offers a solid business class product on their longhaul flights, the airline doesn't offer business class on their intra-Europe flights (they axed it in 2002). For a few years there have been rumors of Aer Lingus introducing business…

The Amex Membership Rewards program is one of my favorite transferable points currencies. Membership Rewards has more transfer partners than Chase Ultimate Rewards and Citi ThankYou, and I'm always happy to see that list expanded. American Express has…
This post is intended for aviation geeks, since I imagine most others would have no clue what's going on. If you ever listen to air traffic control for fun (who doesn't?!), you've probably noticed that controllers in the NY area can get a bit feisty.…
Before the widely publicised Iberia Plus Avios promotion last week, there was a different way to buy Avios cheaply through Groupon Ireland, which I wrote about here. I was hesitant to participate, because I still have nightmares about the awful experience…
For several years, the Spanish version of the group buying site 'Groupon' has been sporadically selling various amounts of British Airways Avios points at large discounts. While the sale prices have generally been great (lower than the 1p per Avios I…
Aer Lingus has a great business class product on their A330s, as they have a staggered configuration with fully flat seats. It has been cool to see Aer Lingus' growth the past few years, which has been gradual but consistent. They've added a handful…
