Aer Lingus App never showed the gate and the board did not update until very close to the time the gate was due to close. Both planes departed late but no announcement was made which would have saved a run for the gate.

Aer Lingus App never showed the gate and the board did not update until very close to the time the gate was due to close. Both planes departed late but no announcement was made which would have saved a run for the gate.

Flight delayed 45 minutes almost caused us to miss connection to transatlantic flight.

Vegetarian food options were pretty tasteless. Gob of rice with absolutely no protein, barely any vegetables, and poorly seasoned. Food was the major disappointment of an otherwise good flight experience. However, food is a differentiator on long haul flights.

We were an hour and a half late, which caused my rental car company to cancel my reservation. We had no car, had to take a taxi to our hotel, and then a taxi back to get a new car the next day. Sometimes lack of on-time performance can end up costing the passenger a lot of money, none of which is covered by the airline that operated the late flight.

Overall good experience. But seats were small and uncomfortable for the price. Good entertainment, staff friendly and attentive.

Flight was delayed no information given really . No food whatsoever on the plane . I think you should be able to put that on the app so people have a chance to buy food bring it with them . They said plane was very busy on way over but there should be enough for both flights as we pay full price for the service. No information or very slow on the app about the delays . Staff were lovely it’s not their fault so company not fare to passengers or staff .

Smooth quiet flight take off and landing both excellent. Food was mediocre. Boarding at gate was disorganized and unacceptable.

My only complaint is that during my 8-hour-long flight, the flight attendants came around with the coffee and tea cart twice instead of the alcoholic beverage cart. I would rather sleep on a plane than rush to the bathroom to take a dump. I asked the flight attendant if I could have a beer instead of coffee or tea. Unfortunately, she said the bar is closed. That tells me that she was too lazy to get me a beer on the plane. I was not happy about that.

Caring & friendly crew. Most important: got us SAFELY to our destination!

Friendly flight attendants, decent food if you can eat dairy.
