I just flew from Boston to Dublin on Aer Lingus, which is a fantastic value at only 25,000 British Airways Avios in business class one-way. At under 3,000 miles and 5hr40min in the air, it's an incredibly short transatlantic flight. I'll have a full trip report soon, though in the meantime here are a few…

I think in Y they don't serve breakfast from BOS, just a beverage run:
The main course looks dreadful. Hope it tasted better than he looks... I also eat with my eye...
What was the load ?
Ahh. Aer Lingus longhaul has the same fascination with minicans of cola that want to be bigger cans when they grow up 😉
And don't moan about a TATL Breakie. Down the back its a beaker of Orange Juice. Which makes it the worst TATL breakfast going down the back.
I'll let you guess who I think has the 2nd worse breakie down the back of the plane 😉
From other TRs I have seen, Aer Lingus' food isn't usually presented well but tastes all right...guess we'll have to wait and see.
I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth looking at that main course. Is it a bowl of cheese with some squash bits thrown in for color?
Yuck to the food. Is that a hamburg patty or a piece of dessert? Yuck to either.
@ Acker -- Hah, that was the best part of the meal!
@ Thomas -- There were three empty seats.
Ben- Were the flt attendants Irish or American? I read somewhere that Aer Lingus fired some of their Irish based flt attendants and hired cheaper foreign (I think U.S.) based flt attendants.
@ John -- They were all European (mostly Irish, and a couple of French flight attendants too).
@ Dan -- Nope, these are all Canon photos. No likey?
Love Ireland! Proposed to my 'now' wife in September 2010 at a beautiful Bed & Breakfast in the country side. Also flew business class home, except home was in Seattle so its a much longer flight 🙂
How did you find business class availability, I checked united, only shows economy, what was the taxes, was it LieFlat Seats?
@ John -- You have to call BA to ask about availability, as it's slightly different than what United has access to. Taxes were about $150 per ticket. Seats were angled flat.
Isn´t a cold breakfast pretty standard on TATL eastbound overnights? I know my SQ C breakfast was similar to this one, croissant, muesli, fruit, yoghurt. Presentation was ten times better of course. Swiss and SAS also have a cold breakfast offering in C.
