I finally flew Aer Lingus’s Airbus A330 from Los Angeles to Dublin to find out what it’s actually like flying with Ireland’s flag carrier!

Together, we'll examine everything from the seat down to meals. But we'll also be answering a bigger question: Is Aer Lingus IAG’s forgotten airline? Despite being part of the same group as British Airways, Iberia, Vueling, and LEVEL, Aer Lingus has a pretty unique place within IAG. We’ll take a look at where the airline fits into the group, how its hybrid business model works, and what the future might look like as Aer Lingus continues to take delivery of A321LRs and A321XLRs.

Join me as I fly Aer Lingus’ longest route from Los Angeles to Dublin aboard the flagship Airbus A330-300, looking at what the economy experience is really like aboard Ireland's flagship!
