The folks and flights were fantastic. I unfortunately wasn’t able to order a meal that I could eat (I’m gluten free) because I got my ticket through kayak, but they tried their best to find something to help me get through the long flight and I’ll forever remember their kindness.
Flight takeoff was delayed an hour, but arrival time was not updated at the same time as departure time, so those picking me up at the other end were not alerted to the change in my arrival.
Seats are terribly cramped. I’m only 5’2” and my knees were practically in my face. No room to put a normal size bag under the seat and when the person in front of you reclined their seat your tray table was in your lap. This is the airline’s way of cramming more seats into the plane to make more money. I’ll think twice about taking Aer Lingus again since there are a few other options from Boston to the Emerald Isle.
Couldn’t check In online, message was couldn’t check in until Sunday morning though plane left Saturday night. Checked in okay at airport but caused slot if stress.
It all went very well, except for the ramp coordination upon landing in Boston. That, however, was resolved in fairly short order.
NOTE. Aer Lingus does not accept American Express. I was denied boarding because I could not pay the fee for my oversized bag. I did not have another credit or debit card. Moreover, at CDG, I needed to check my bag at one location, go to another location to check my oversized bag and a THIRD location to pay for my oversized bag. Hence, once I was denied boarding, my bags were already en route to the plane. To retrieve them I needed to go to a FOURTH location in another part of the terminal. Last, Aer Lingus will not reimburse me for any portion of my ticket. I lost $1000 bc Aer Lingus doesn’t accept American Express at the CDG counter even though I paid for my ticket through the Kayak link with Amex. Kayak should remedy this situation if they want to continue to partner with Aer Lingus.
The biking process was confusing and I was called for a seat assignment from I number I repeatedly though was spam, but the flight itself was great
It was poor overall. They cancelled our flight and changed it without notifying us. So we incurred extra costs by having to book a hotel for our layover. They say it's Kayak/Underpricer's responsibility to reimburse us. But Kayak/Underpricer have said it's Aer Lingus' responsibility because they are the ones with our 'booking information.' I find this situation confusing and unacceptable.
My experience with Aer Lingus was not too good. First, because of the last minute delayed flight from Amsterdam to Dublin we almost missed our flight from Dublin to Philadelphia. Secondly, the flight from Dublin to Philadelphia had very uncomfortable seats especially it was a very long flight. My buttocks were constantly in pain for sitting on these seats for this long. Lastly, the service in the plane was also slow. I asked for a second cup of water and the hostess told me he'll be right back with that where it took him over an hour to come back with water. It was warm in the plane and I was very thirsty. Overall this airline needs much improvement in their services.
Staff was generally friendly and helpful. Attendants collecting trash were somewhat inattentive though.
Booked seats (paid extra) online and found they didn’t exist on the flight. We were then separated from the rest of our party. Given seats in the very back of the plane. We will not fly Discover or Lufthansa again. We will not book flights or travel through Kayak again!
Had a few open seats and could use it for a great rest ful journey
Airline food is airline food, but the plane was wonderful and the seating comfort outstanding. One of my best flights in quite a while.
Smooth flight with enough time for connection. Ran out of meal options. In-flight and gate staff were friendly and helpful. Good service overall.
Boarding procedure should have the crew and personnel who are more trained, in a sense of precisely knowing what can be done and what cannot. They do not have the exact information on what you should do in the first place, also the boarding itself was slightly delayed due to the aircraft "not being ready".
The seat space seemed small especially when the person ahead reclined but other than that, very good.
The service and flight was great. Luggage came out very quickly!
..it was short.. I didn't like that my red bag went out completely stained with black stains..That's probably some airport staff bad handling but still
Everything went well. I will fly with Lufthansa again. And use Kayak whenever I book flights
Bought a seat in a flight that got changed out so ended up paying for a seat I would have had if I hadn't paid.
