Aer Lingus vs. Delta?

Would you recommend the new Aer Lingus business class or Delta A330 business class to get to Amsterdam? Connections, mileage price etc… are irrelevant.

Welcome [USER=1040]@Sheldon Cooper Enthusiast[/USER] – Lucky hasn’t reviewed the updated Aer Lingus Business Class yet and as we know, he doesn’t fly Delta a whole lot. 🙂

Did find a couple of reviews of each of these product from fellow Boarding Area bloggers – though not necessarily on the same routes:

Which one is best for you will depend on what you value in a trip. One thing to consider: if flying Aer Lingus via Dublin, there is a US Pre-clearance facility there so you’ll land in the US like a domestic flight since you’ll already have cleared Customs.

Thank you so much for the insight. I will take it into account.

Also keep in mind that Aer Lingus does not have any J seating on their short haul fleet, only Y.

Pitch is not as bad as Air Berlin which operates the same way, but it still a tight fit.
