Just a day after my Ryanair flight from London to Dublin, it was time to call it a wrap on this trip and head home. Aer Lingus to Los Angeles was the obvious choice, and I was very much looking forward to trying this airline for the very first time.
This is footage from EI145, A330-200 service from DUB to LAX. Aircraft registration was EI-DUO, and my seat was 33G.

you were put downstairs in order to clear pre clearance

@vonEitzen 4 жыл бұрын

Yup, exactly this. In Dublin for direct flights to the US via Aer Lingus, you get the benefit of pre-clearance so you can walk off of the plane without having to go through border control again.

Fun video! It's nice to see a good Aer Lingus economy review. Aer Lingus economy was my very first experience in an airplane - couldn't have asked for a better experience to ease the nerves of flying. Even the captain's PA announcement at the beginning of our flight helped, informing us that we would encounter some mild turbulence mid-flight but that it would be a rather "speedy" flight that night. The food is actually pretty good (dinner, coffee/tea, and a pre-landing quick bite). It was nothing over-the-top, but satisfying and tasty.

Have flown Aer Lingus many many times over the years since I was 5! Yes that is aging me! The one thing I always looked forward to was the Irish breakfasts when I flew from London to Cork. At that time they were free and unfortunately now you have to pay for them, but it always set the mood for my trip "home!" Other things I loved about flying Aer Lingus was hearing the Irish accents and Gaelic again! Then ultimately, flying through the clouds as we're about to land and seeing the patchwork quilt of green fields spreading out beneath me!

Great report, pleased to hear you enjoyed your journey with Aer Lingus. As for the A330-200 on this route, they come from a time when it was the only A330 model capable of west cost operation and Aer Lingus configured them as such; crew rests, early entertainment systems etc. These days the A330-300 is far more capable and later models delivered to Aer Lingus are regularly on the daily SFO and will be added to LAX daily from next summer. Also, green mood lighting does exist on Aer Lingus but for some reason it's only used at certain times and flights or for "special occasions" like St Patrick's Day.

@sanspotter 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Kevin! Good info! 👍🏻

And I think you will find the Aer Lingus own the older A330s outright - no lease. So I guess they have calculated that is pays to sweat their own asset rather than pay "dead" money for better match.

It was also really nice to do UK border control in Dublin before my connection to LHR (absolutely no line) and US Preclearance on the way back.

Great video! I work in the US Preclearance area and yeah it's tight alright, the reason for the basement gates as you say is because of the US preclearance as EU and US can't be in the same gate area ( us requirements that the DAA have to follow). In the summer and busy times upstairs is used because downstairs there is only 6 gates (401-406) so with the amount of flights to the US out of Dublin they need to open upstairs to accommodate the flights, hope you enjoyed Dublin Airport!!

Thanks for the info! Yes, I was able to wander upstairs and I did see several US flights departing from there - I figured the reason was because it was especially busy at that time. Glad to know I was right. 😆 Anyway, it is a beautiful airport terminal nonetheless!

@@sanspotter I prefer to work upstairs too a lot more space than downstairs especially when gates 404 and 403 for example are boarding at the same time.... quite the squeeze! glad you enjoyed Dublin

I think the basement gates are the only ones with US Customs pre-clearance, so they’re the only ones that flights to the US depart from

The pretzels are great. I get a big bag of those from my local Tesco.

The 'basement' should get the claps. It's entering the US 5 hours early so passengers can enter domestically. A shame there isn't more facilities there but the preclearance more than makes up.
