Show up a little bit more in advance for luggage check in if you don't check in online on your app sometimes there's only priority lines available and it takes a little bit longer to get through
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Sept 2026
There’s a wait in between security and going through passport control to then go to your gate, so don’t be surprised/thrown off
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Aug 2026
If you're a US citizen, know that the transfer from Dublin to USA includes the customs border check. This means that once you land in a USA airport, you won't need to go through customs again!
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2026
Have your passport ready; it’s requested multiple times! The Rome airport is enormous- not easy to get help answering questions on where to go and how to get to security and gate for boarding. AerLingus at Rome airport is actually on offsite part of terminal. We walked forever to get to our gate “E” then we were put on a bus to shuttle us to where the plane was. Again, more walking- if you have a lot of carry on with you or can’t walk so far it’s a challenge. They need to advise trailers at check in to get to their gate Early to allow for all the extra walking and shuttle time needed.

Naples is a very small but very crowded airport. EES gets crowded very quick so plan to reach the gate 30 mins early.

Going to the US via Dublin took ages. Plan your layover accordingly!

The lines to get in and out of Spain, may be a bit long, so prepare for that!

Your gate may be at the end of the F concourse, so be prepared for that.

The flight boarding at Dublin Airport was a negative experience. Another passenger admonished me for cutting in the "B" group line, so further direction on how to proceed in the queue would have been helpful for travellers who are not familiar with Irish airport protocol.
williamFlew with Aer Lingus-Apr 2026
Be prepared for long queues at check-in, after that passport control is a NIGHTMARE
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Dec 2025
Bring snacks. Double check with the airline that everything is in order. Never go through large airports like Heathrow with any layover that’s less than 3 hours. Small airports are preferred for layover like Dublin or Brussels.
JohnFlew with Aer Lingus-Jan 2026
Dublin airport was great for an American due to the American TSA 'precheck' area so we did not have to go through customs in America. Problem though: I wanted to see shops and restaurants in Dublin. An attendent told me there were shops and restaurants after USA Precheck but there really were not. there was ONE overcrowded restaurant with very few food options and there was a duty free shop and that was it. There should be signage allowing people to choose to go to the main airport before doing the USA Precheck and being stuck in this place with few amenities.
DeborahFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2025
Heathrow seems to have a lot of plane traffic so make sure you have a good cushion of time if you have connecting flights. I had a 2 hour layover but ended up having to run to make sure I got to the other gate in time.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2025
If you’re doing a transfer speak to someone at the desk don’t use an automated kiosk
joshuaFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2025
Counter service is little late , need to reach airport early
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Apr 2025
Make sure you have enough time on your connection because even though the gate agent in Naples assumed we would not clear customs in Dublin and we would just go gate to gate because we are on Air Lingus the whole way and we would clear customs in Los Angeles, but no, that was not the case we had an hour and 15 minutes and barely made it because it was a long walk off the jet way on a bus to the terminal a long walk until we got to immigration so they did put us through customs in Dublin and then we did not go through customs in Los Angeles.
KillianFlew with British Airways-May 2025
Dublin airport a shambles when it comes to collecting luggage or getting a cab. Allow plenty of extra time.
Verified travelerFlew with SWISS-Jan 2025
Check-in 3 is not conveniently located, so account time for that.
Rita AnnFlew with Aer Lingus-Sept 2024
The gate is a long walk so go through security earlier rather than later. Loads of great shops and restaurants both land and air side.
ThomasFlew with Aer Lingus-Oct 2024
You will likely have to walk a lot more than you might expect to make a connection.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Aug 2024
Hamburg sometimes has an additional passport check between two gates (Cx and Dx) which can take 30min. Take this additional time after security check into consideration.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Aug 2024
Put an AirTag or other tracking device in your bag.
PaulFlew with Ryanair-Jul 2024
Avoid Ryanair. The airport is tiny, buy water etc in duty free shops not restaurants they will charge you €5 for water
AnthonyFlew with Aer Lingus-Apr 2024
Baggage checking was very slow over 30min with not a massive queue. Gate was very late to be announced and priority boarding with young child was overlooked due priority boarding queue being so long. Airport is nice with great amenities and facilities in the terminal, but long walks to gates if travelling with a young family.
williamFlew with Aer Lingus-Jan 2024
The check in at Linate are diabolical. I would recommend online check in and carry on baggage only

This was an absolutely exceptional flight. The flight attendants were extremely attentive and very friendly. They seemed to go out of their way to make us comfortable and to make sure that we had everything we needed., We were in business and were very happy with the size and the details for our pods. We would definitely recommend Finnair and will definitely be flying with them again.

We would definitely recommend Finnair and will definitely be flying with them again.

Crew very lovely. Arrived an hour late due to bad weather. We were given new tickets to an other flight but it could have been organised better, so we did not have to run through the whole airport to.

Do not use KAYAK or Finair for future travel. Unless you purchase the tickets directly from the airline, you were going to have a difficult time checking in. Kayak canceled my flights twice and ended up causing great difficulty in me getting back from Europe because they double sold my tickets between American Airlines and Finair. The event caused significant delays and led to me having to rebook my flights.

Crew were professional and responsive. Food was mediocre and breakfast could do with revampinmg

Our previous flight was delayed but they waited for us to board.

It was a pleasure definitely going with Iberia on my future travels

The wine was low quality Finnair label stuff in small bottles and only one small bottle each. Embarassinng. A competing airline served me two generous glasses of a nice South African Shiraz from regular wine bottles, a Beck's beer, and a generous Dewar's White Label on the rocks. Cabin service was good and polite, plane interior was beautiful, but cramped.

Flight ok, but me and other two passengers didn’t have connection with the entertainment in our seats. So, no movies, no games, no music… for 9 hours. The crew just told us that there’s nothing they can do but I noticed during the flight that there were empty seats, so they could have offered to us to change seats. Customer service could be better.

Boarding was a shambles, with no proper line or queue and multiple groups joining at the same time. Overhead space was limited. Seat spacing (width) is not generous. My neighbour was invading my space, before he even spilt his drinks over me (twice!) as he struggled to contain his meal on the table. The main meal was very poor. Choice was simply chicken / turkey - the crew didn't know exactly which - or vegetarian. The chicken meal was really poor quality - uninspiring and tasteless; and very little offering of drinks. Half the crew were friendly, half really need to cheer up.

Check in was awful. Missed our flight because we waited to check our bags for over an hour. Only one or two agents available. Plan on 3+ hours if you fly out of Madrid. Won't use this airline again.

The plane was new. The crew is very supportive and speaks various languages (at least English, French, Italian and Spanish). It was a great experience taking into account is a low cost airline.

Have to offer water. Leg room and space is non existent

One of our suitcases was missing at arrival. No news from the lost and found desk so far. As for 3 or 4 other passengers, they said it probably was missent at Orly airport. Hope it arrives. Not sure whether a compensation will occur if not found.

Transit through Cairo was abysmal and I will never repeat this journey !!!

Être avertie SMS/mail du retard/changements d'horaire avant les 5min du décollage initial..

There was a delay of more than an hour due to technical issues on a previous flight, can happen so I don't foult the airline for that. The crew was excellent and very friendly and boarding was pretty efficient. The seats were comfortable enough. However, if you are over 1,80m, don't expect any room for your legs, the room between the rows is extremely tight!

There was delay of 2 hours and all related announcements at the gate were done in French. It is not acceptable on international flight! The sandwich that I paid €6 for, was dry, hard and impossible to eat it. This is really a shame for French airline serving such sandwich.

Your nasty smart , The seat too tight You have to pay for everything 5h20 min Flight with no food no water nothing .I didnt take my Medicine Because I don't have no water The worst trip that I have in my life.1st time flying with Transavia its going to be the last time . I am so disappointed

La personne en charge de l’enregistrement était très impolie pas professionnelle vous devriez la renvoyer car c’est une très mauvaise image de marque pour votre société

too hot and too tight, no even small cup of water.

The check in crew were so friendly and attentive. Probably the best in my experience and I’ve been flying at least four times a year most of my adult life. Very considerate and I appreciate it.

Incredible airline experience for many reasons. Only improvement, would be to have higher quality food, such as Organic and non-dairy food items. A number of us got sick. Thank you!

Boarding was a bit disorganized but it was pretty quick!

They lost my bag and ruined my holiday, spent the whole time on the phone to them but they never managed to get it back to me in time

entire boarding process from the moment we entered Naples Airport was terrible

The legroom, seat width, inability to book my seat with the airline in advance when I paid extra to do so, the food is extremely plain and small. The cups of tea and coffee are small. Not to mention I had to pay for a g&T when I paid over $1k for a one way flight. Sheep travel better in a transporter.

We loaded a little late, then sat on the tarmac for 1.5 hours, thus missing our connecting flight to the US. Naples airport was run very inefficiently. Overall, confusing to find the Aer Lingus check in. Staff on the plane were pleasant. The staff in Dublin did their best to help with hotel for the night. They booked us on a Lufthansa flight the next day, they said, but no e-mail or text was sent, like they said it would be. I later spent 40 minutes on a call to find out ANY details of our flight the next day. This may have all stemmed from a problem with the Naples airport, but frustrating nonetheless!

Flight was delayed out of Naples, causing us to miss our connecting flight. We were told our luggage would follow us to our final destination. We arrive at the layover airport, where we see our luggage on the baggage claim conveyor belt (out of sheer coincidence). Had we not checked, our bags would’ve been lost. The last flight we were booked on was not specified. I had to research which airline and flight it was. Inexcusably poor communication and handling of the situation. Will not fly Aer Lingus again!

There was a 3 to 4 year old child sitting behind me with both her parents. She kicked the back of my chair the entire flight. Flight crew did nothing. There were no snacks or drinks offered on this flight. Only 1st or business class got anything. Don't recommend this airline.

Aircrew was very very supportive helpful funny and accommodating. The flight itself was very smooth the pilot was very informative and we were very comfortable with all of the accommodations and concessions that were given. Really liked the Hub in Dublin that allowed us to do US Customs before getting back into the US to eliminate extra hassle and Rush their staff was always accommodating and very informative with signage every step of the way

Had no disruptions or delays. Did not order any food.

I liked almost everything (e.g. ease of booking, price, punctuality, efficiency, friendliness, courtesy). A slam landing in Dublin airport took some of the gloss off it, though. Being able to paste here the text of the review of the same flight that I just wrote for Ryanair would make me feel better about Kayak too.

Take off was great but landing is always with a bump.

Staff were very professional. Much better than the outgoing flight from Dublin. Seat cushions were practically non existent. Making for a very uncomfortable flight.

They were extremely unprofessional and unhelpful at check in. They did not understand laws related to Spanish residents flying with family It was very discriminatory the way we were treated.

It's not the staff's fault. The cabin crew do their best but the setup in Stansted Airport by Ryanair is poor. The herding of people like cattle is unacceptable before boarding and is something that's in every airport but only in Stansted have I seen the queueing of passengers outside the plane on the tarmac and the crew only turning up with maybe 5 minutes to depart. This is a resource issue . Yes prices are good but seemingly comes with a price of poor treatment of customers. I'll pay more next time

Flight was fine, crew were good, cabin director spoke far too much; disembarking at Dublin Airport and entry into the terminal building was just dreadful, like entering the back door of a neglected factory building. What an awful impression it must give to first time visitors to Ireland.

all fine - did not have food - there was no entertainment

Delayed delayed delayed and then cancelled very late not allowing for too much time to find a room for the night

Worst experience ever. First time and last time with Ryanair. I'm not a cow.

I really like to fly with Lufthansa. It is comfortable and reliable. The crew are polite and sensitive

The crew was very nice. The equipment on the 747 felt old.

very small seats the scree did not work. I could not watch anything for 9 hours.

Business class was roomy and comfortable however, the entertainment screen was very dark and hard to see.

I like the service and the efficiency. I am lactose intolerant and the lactose intolerant meal in business class was not astounding. Also, the business class fully reclining seats are not that comfortable.

Overall excellent service and Frankfurt Airport was very efficient and clean

The flight was cold, no enough blanket and the crew said that they can’t change it. I got very sick in the flight . Most of the kids were coughing.

Terrible experience. I was stuck in Germany for two full day because your flights can't leave on time. You guys suck!!!

plane was late. flight was very bumpy most of the way

Liked: Video entertainment options were generally good (sufficient choice of good, recent films). Could Have Been Better: 1. Both the SFO-Frankfurt and Frankfurt-Milan flights were significantly delayed. 2. Dinner was ok, although included no choice other than pasta (no meat). Quality of breakfast seemed very below average (just an unpalatable, bread-heavy vegetarian sandwich that many passengers seemed to discard after only a bite or two) 3. Crew performed their duties perfunctorily, but seemed a little stiff/impersonal. 4. Space between seat and seatback of the passenger in front a bit cramped.
