Aer Lingus Business Class Reviews

Aer Lingus is considered a good option for business class travelers according to bloggers and reviewers. Aer Lingus has interesting scores overall, in that many bloggers enjoyed the overall experience – leading to an overall great rating of 2.40/3, but the specific aspects of service – such as seat, service, food, etc., scored much lower. However, most reviewers felt that the value provided by the airline – often in the form of cheaper point redemption – outweighed the lack of any defining service. The seat is a lay flat and reasonably comfortable. Other aspects generally came in as average. Aer Lingus is not considered a “premium” business class, but is comfortable and acceptable.

What to Look Forward To: 400MB free WiFi access for business class travelers

What to Watch Out for: Not all aircraft have the new seating, mixed reviews on service, amenity kits

As a reminder, Premium Travel Insider aggregates reviews from around the web and scores them on a 1-3 scale. A 3 indicates that a given category exceeded reviewer expectations, a 2 indicates it met expectations, and a 1 failed to meet expectations. We evaluate a variety of categories, the most important of which we call the “Big 5” that are most important to a premium travel experience: seat, food, drink, service, and in flight entertainment.
