Hello from Ireland!

Those of you that guessed I was flying Aer Lingus were correct. 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 pictures:

The one aspect of the flight that was completely unacceptable were the breakfast offerings. I don’t know how Aer Lingus can call themselves an airline while serving a COLD breakfast prior to landing. I mean, there’s a full 90 minutes between dinner and breakfast. What are these people thinking?!?

(Yes, I’m kidding in case it’s not obvious)

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.

@ 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.

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 :)
