I flew two weeks ago, and my bag never arrived. I strongly advise: Stay away from Aer Lingus! I found out later that Aer Lingus has a reputation for passengers missing flights, small staff of employees at many locations, and NOT GIVING A DAMN about their passengers. I was on my feet for 8 hours during this whole ordeal. SwissPort got me on another flight to get home to LAX Los Angeles. Two AMS representatives got me over to SwissPort which is affiliated with Aer Lingus. Aer Lingus basically made me miss my flight then abandoned me at an airport in a foreign country. I missed my flight, came back to the Check-in/Ticket Counter and there was no one there. The real problems were the Kiosks available for passengers who can print their own boarding passes did not have the Aer Lingus app and there was only ONE PERSON at the Check-in/Ticket Counter, with a line of passengers that was very long, and I had arrived nearly 3 hours before my flight was scheduled to depart. I missed my flight from AMS in Amsterdam to DUB Dublin because I could not get my boarding pass unless I stood in line at the Check-in/Ticket Counter.

Have you flown with Aer Lingus Regional since Emerald Airlines took over the contract? What do you think of them? Thank you for reading and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below. You do what you can at the time to minimise it, what’s out of your control is out of your control, so why get annoyed by it? In my case, I was extremely inconvenienced, but I’m ambivalent about it. While nobody appreciates a delay, it happens and there’s not much you can do about it. The aircraft are the same and while the cabin interiors differ slightly, it is all just as it was pre-pandemic. Overall ThoughtsĪer Lingus Regional is still the same as it always was, even with a totally new airline running it. Soon enough, we descended and landed in Glasgow, where we boarded the bus which would take us to Ireland arrivals. Up in the air, I fly, zoom, zoom, a-zoom, a-zoom, zoom!įor once I decided not to have anything, so I sat back and enjoyed the view. Things proceeded slowly and as I was in no rush at all, elected to board almost last. Happily it wasn’t raining, as we all queued up outside our aircraft on the tarmac. I mentally bid farewell to my connection.

That kept on increasing until eventually the flight was two hours delayed. Once the bag was checked, it was half an hour in the security line and then I was through and ready to rock.Īt this point, the flight was listed as 20 minutes delayed. It was the beginning of the busy summer holiday period, so I knew not to expect an easy breezy quick experience. I spent a good hour and 10 minutes in the Aer Lingus check-in queue at Dublin Airport. The connection in Scotland was exactly one hour, so I needed this flight to be on time. British Airways cancelled my Dublin to London service and I was re-routed Dublin to Glasgow to London. I was not supposed to be on this flight at all. They replaced Stobart Air, who used to operate the franchise and they have elected to use the same aircraft type as their predecessor. Aer Lingus Regional flights are operated by Emerald Airlines which are a new airline on the scene.
