Some obvious irritants

I use this app all the time as I am flying quite frequently at the moment but there is one thing bugs the hell out of me. From time to time, when you go to check in for a flight, it still makes you type out your 16 digit Aer club number in order to get credit for a flight. For gods sake developers, it’s 2023. Can you not figure out that if I am logged in to the app, my Aer club card is associated with that login and I am checking in for a flight in my name, that you just automatically use my Aer club number?

Can’t do simple stuff like displaying a multi-city trip

Never mind allowing me to manage a multi-city trip, it won’t even display the details. Why is it that The app can’t do something that most other airline apps do easily? Probably due to similar opaque reasons that have made it impossible (in my past experience) to manage any trip on their website that wasn’t booked directly through Aer Lingus. Or the inability to check in online for a US-bound flight departing Dublin if you have a US passport. Or the way their systems reject bookings made via partner airlines(like United) using airline miles, days after the transaction, even though their API told United’s system that there were seats available. ...I really wish Aer Lingus had used all that money from their rebranding on improving their IT systems and the resulting dismal user experience instead.

Mr daniel Donnellan

I would say that if you could I would think that for a more enjoyable experience that you could pre order food on your European flights especially the breakfast I love it personally the flavours and tastes are Devine except for a fried egg and toast which I understand is hard to be able too make on a plane flying but I do think if people can pre order food it makes the experience with aer lingus more personal because your sitting in your seat and the steward or stewardess brings it right too you without a fuss it's lovely if you could do that that's all I would say otherwise everything is amazing I love flying aer lingus because there's no stress involved like Ryanair lol

" Pro Tip: Don't fly this airline. "
" Choose another airline. They don't deserve your money. "
" Take carry on bags only, they will just leave bags at the departing airport and offer no help when you arrive at your destination. "
" Be aware, they only act in their own best interests - not you the passenger "

Aer Lingus, the flag carrier of Ireland, has in recent years taken advantage of a favorable geographic location that’s easily accessible from the U.S., and as a result, has added numerous flights to the North American continent. This is especially true for the East Coast of the U.S. As the second-largest airline in Ireland, you should have no trouble finding an Aer Lingus flight from the U.S.

In this guide, we’ll be analyzing all of Aer Lingus’ nonstop routes between the U.S. and Ireland. We’ve got a bit of ground to cover, so let’s begin.

Aer Lingus is generally reliable when it comes to operating its aircraft on specific routes. In addition, Aer Lingus’ Dublin base makes for a relatively short flight between Ireland and much of the U.S., so we won’t be seeing high-capacity aircraft such as the Boeing 777, 747, or 787, or the Airbus A380.

Instead, Aer Lingus operates using a mostly point-to-point model to connect cities across the U.S. to Ireland.

Ireland acquires most of its air passengers from tourism, which is why the aircraft operated are smaller than, say, British Airways , which routinely uses the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777.

Check out the table below for the complete Aer Lingus route guide for flights between Ireland and the U.S.:

Now, let’s talk a bit about the different ways to fly Aer Lingus using points and miles.

Aer Lingus happens to be owned by the same parent company as British Airways and Iberia. Both of these carriers are members of the Oneworld Alliance , but Aer Lingus is currently not a formal member.

You can redeem United MileagePlus miles (through North American gateways only), Aer Lingus Avios , British Airways Avios , and Cathay Pacific Asia Miles for travel on Aer Lingus.

Aer Lingus doesn’t have many partners you can redeem miles with, but you’ll still have a few options to use points for flights on Aer Lingus.

  • Aer Lingus, British Airways, and Cathay Pacific are American Express transfer partners
  • Aer Lingus, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and United are transfer partners with Bilt Rewards
  • Aer Lingus, British Airways, and United are transfer partners with Chase Ultimate Rewards
  • British Airways and Cathay Pacific are transfer partners with Capital One Miles
  • Cathay Pacific is a  transfer partner with Citi ThankYou Rewards
  • United, British Airways, and Cathay Pacific are transfer partners with Marriott Bonvoy

Hot Tip: Check out our Transfer Partner Calculator to weigh all of your options by loyalty program!

Unfortunately, Aer Lingus doesn’t currently offer any first class options on its routes between Ireland and the U.S.

Aer Lingus Business Class Options

Aer Lingus A321neo business class

The goal of business class is to enjoy a lie-flat bed, good food, and a peaceful flight to your destination.

Aer Lingus doesn’t disappoint in this regard, as long as you pick the best seats. In business class, you’ll enjoy a cheerful inflight experience, decent award redemptions, and good food and beverage selections.

Here are the planes that you can currently fly business class between the U.S. and Ireland — there are both narrow- and wide-body aircraft that Aer Lingus uses for these flights:

  • Airbus A330-200
  • Airbus A330-300
  • Airbus A321neo LR

The Airbus A330 is a wide-body aircraft that’s spawned a number of different versions since the jet has been in production, with the -200 variant being among the older ones.

As far as the seats themselves go, there are 23 total in the cabin. These Thompson Vantage XL seats all lie completely flat, though they’re on the small side, with just 21 inches of width and 58 inches of pitch.

Here’s what the seat map looks like:

Aer Lingus A330-200 Business Class Seat Map

The best seats in this cabin are 3K and 5K , which are both so-called “throne” seats . If you can’t reserve those, the next best seats are the window seats at 3A and 5A.

While it’s harder to find the Aer Lingus A330-200 these days, you may still find it flying the following routes:

  • Los Angeles (LAX) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Miami (MIA) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Newark (EWR) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Orlando (MCO) – Dublin (DUB)
  • San Francisco (SFO) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Seattle (SEA) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Washington, D.C. (IAD) – Dublin (DUB) 

Learn about how you can find and choose the best seats in your cabin with our ultimate guide to SeatGuru !

The next product we’ll look at is found on the Airbus A330-300, a larger variant of the A330. The cabin itself is larger — you’ll find 30 seats instead of 23, making it 30% larger than the cabin on the -200 variant.

Otherwise, the seats themselves are identical to what you’d find in the -200, with 21 inches of pitch and 58 inches of pitch.

Here’s what the seat map looks like on this aircraft:

Aer Lingus A330-300 Business Class Seat Map

As we already discussed, the most preferred seats are the “throne” seats, of which there are 3 in this cabin. These are 3K, 5K, and 7K. You would want to pick 5K first, followed by 3K and 7K last , based on distance from the lavatories.

If the throne seats are all reserved — a very strong possibility — the next-best options are 2A, 4A, and 6A. These are true window seats and are much more private than aisle seats in 3A, 5A, and 7A.

You can generally find the A330-300 flying on the following routes:

  • Boston (BOS) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Chicago (ORD) – Dublin (DUB)
  • New York (JFK) – Dublin (DUB)

Finally, there’s Aer Lingus’ relatively new, narrow-body Airbus A321neo LR. The business class cabin on these planes has 16 lie-flat seats in an alternating 2-2 and 1-1 configuration.

Each seat measures 20 inches wide, extends to a bed that measures 78 inches long, and offers 45 inches of pitch when upright.

For context, this seat and configuration most closely resemble JetBlue’s original Mint product , whereby there are throne seats (the best options), and seats without direct aisle access.

Aer Lingus A321neo LR business class seat map

The best seats (especially for solo travelers) are 3A, 3K, 5A, and 5K . These are throne seats that provide tons of space all for yourself. Of course, you won’t have a seatmate to worry about, making it ideal for solo travelers.

You’ll find this single-aisle aircraft on the following routes:

  • Boston (BOS) – Shannon (SNN)
  • Cleveland (CLE) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Hartford (BDL) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Newark (EWR) – Dublin (DUB) 
  • New York (JFK) – Shannon (SNN)
  • Philadelphia (PHL) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Toronto (YYZ) – Dublin (DUB)
  • Washington, D.C. (IAD) – Dublin (DUB)

Unfortunately, Aer Lingus doesn’t offer a premium economy product to flyers.

Aer Lingus Economy Class Options

Aer Lingus pair dining economy

Aer Lingus is known for offering some of the most affordable economy tickets to Ireland and onwards to Europe if you’re willing to take connecting flights.

The seats aren’t the biggest economy seats in the world, but you can make your ride more comfortable by reserving the right seats on the right plane.

Our economy class ranking is as follows:

The A321neo LR has the largest economy seats of all these aircraft. They’re arranged in a 3-3 configuration with a single aisle, and each measures 18 inches wide and offers 32 of pitch.

The seat map looks like this:

Aer Lingus A321neo LR economy class seat map

The best seats are in row 15, thanks to the exit row. Also, rows 13 and 14 have limited recline, so be sure to avoid those when you can. You’ll also want to avoid rows 13, 14, 25, and 34 if you can due to the restrictive recline, lack of windows, and proximity to lavatories and galleys.

That being said, snagging a seat in row 15 can make the difference between feeling constricted and feeling more free to move around. You’ll find the A321neo LR flown on these nonstop Aer Lingus routes:

The A330-200 has a total of 243 seats in economy. Each of them is 17 inches wide and offers 31 to 32 inches of pitch. The economy cabin is arranged in a 2-4-2 configuration as shown here:

Aer Lingus A330-200 Economy Class Seat Map

The exit row seats are located at rows 11 and 29. Row 11 seats are the best in this case, specifically seats 11A and 11C . This is because the seats are located on the opposite side of the lavatory. Instead, there’s only a galley near 11A and 11C.

If you can’t reserve 11A or 11C on Aer Lingus’ A330-200, you can try aiming for the bassinet seats at 11D/E/G to avoid the lavatories. If those are taken, we suggest you choose 11H/K, followed by seats in row 29.

You can find the A330-200 on these Aer Lingus routes to and from the U.S.:

Our last choice would be the Aer Lingus A330-300, which is essentially a more-crowded version of the A330-200. The seats are the same design and size, but there are more of them.

Aer Lingus’ A330-300 has 287 economy seats , whereas its A330-200 has 243. The 2-4-2 configuration remains the same, but the positioning of the lavatories and galleys is the main difference.

Check out the cabin configuration below:

Aer Lingus A330-300 Economy Class Seat Map

The best seats in this layout are in rows 8 and 30 . Fortunately, there are no lavatories near row 8, and the lavatories near row 30 are significantly further from the seats than is typical.

Those traveling as a couple should pick 2 seats on a single side of the aircraft in the exit rows to maximize comfort.

You’ll be able to find the A330-300 flown by Aer Lingus on these routes between Ireland and the U.S.:

Aer Lingus provides great options for travelers to get to Ireland without requiring positioning flights, especially in the Northeastern U.S.

For example, its network in cities like Hartford (BDL) and Philadelphia (PHL) allows flyers to avoid a connection in larger, busier airports like Boston (BOS), New York (JFK), or Washington, D.C. (IAD).

There’s a clear hierarchy of seats on any given Aer Lingus aircraft, and it will always be in the solo traveler’s best interest to book the business class throne seats. Keep in mind that these are competitive, and window seats are a decent consolation prize.

As far as coach goes, the design of the economy section goes a long way in dictating which rows of seats are best for travelers.

Now, you have the insider’s guide on Aer Lingus’ U.S. routes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to book aer lingus first class.

Unfortunately, Aer Lingus does not offer a first class product on flights between the U.S. and Ireland.

What's the best ways to book Aer Lingus business class?

Aer Lingus business class is one of the best sweet spots for using points and miles, especially from the East Coast of the U.S.

You can use British Airways Avios to book travel on Aer Lingus, though you’ll need to call them to actually book the ticket.

British Airways uses a distance-based award chart and some sweet spots include Boston (BOS) to Dublin (DUB) in off-peak business class for 31,250 Avios one-way. This is a steal because Aer Lingus usually charges 50,000 Avios for the same flight!

If you pair this with transfer bonuses from American Express (up to 40%), then you can get a 6-hour business class flight for as few as 22,321 Amex points.

With Aer Lingus Avios, you can fly to and from San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), or Los Angeles (LAX) for 62,500 Avios during off-peak dates.

Check out our guide on how to best redeem Aer Lingus Avios for more information.

What are the best ways to book Aer Lingus premium economy class?

Unfortunately, Aer Lingus does not offer a premium economy product.

What's the best ways to book Aer Lingus economy class?

Aer Lingus charges 13,000 Avios each way in economy for all routes except Dublin (DUB) to Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), Orlando (MCO), San Francisco (SFO), and Seattle (SEA). It charges 16,250 Avios for these longer routes.

When using BA Avios, the Boston-Dublin route is a “sweet spot” that costs 10,000 Avios off-peak and 12,500 Avios during peak times.

How to book Aer Lingus award tickets with Avios

Nicky Kelvin

Aer Lingus sits in a curious position. It is owned by the same parent company as British Airways (IAG) but yet is not a Oneworld member . This doesn't preclude a loyal British Airways Avios collector from benefiting from Aer Lingus , as the Irish flag carrier also uses Avios as its frequent flyer mileage currency.

But how do you use Avios to book Aer Lingus flights?

Why should I use my Avios on Aer Lingus?

Aer Lingus provides a fantastic way to use Avios with lots of route options and, most importantly, low taxes . In fact, the taxes payable are generally far lower than what you would see on similar routes with BA.

The product can also be pretty great. I tried out the Aer Lingus A321 business class from Dublin (DUB) to Philadelphia (PHL) , which cost just 50,000 Avios and $151.60 in tax and it was a fantastic flight. TPG U.K. social media lead Liam was on the same flight in economy and paid just 13,000 and $129.70 for a clean and fresh cabin and nice experience.

Aer Lingus has a comprehensive North American route network, and when flying Aer Lingus from Dublin or Shannon to the U.S., you have the added bonus of being able to clear U.S. immigration in Ireland. So when you arrive in the U.S., you do so as a domestic passenger without having to clear immigration or customs.

How do I book an Avios ticket on Aer Lingus?

There are some nuances to understand if you want to book Aer Lingus tickets using Avios.

Firstly, you can't search availability or book Aer Lingus tickets on BA.com . You also can't book reward tickets on the Aer Lingus or Aer Club websites.

To use your Avios on Aer Lingus, you need to call up British Airways, which is becoming increasingly difficult at the moment, given the coronavirus crisis.

But in order to avoid long wait times on the phone with BA, the trick is that you can easily search availability and book tickets on Avios.com.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to book Avios.com tickets:

1. Sign up for an Aer Lingus Aer Club account. It's free, fast, easy and you can do so right here .

2. This is the counterintuitive part. You will need to head to Avios.com and log in to your Aer Club account from there.

3. Once you've logged in, you can search availability to find the Aer Lingus flights you want and check how many Avios you will need for your route and class.

4. Assuming your Avios are sitting in a BA Executive Club Account (or Iberia Plus account), you will then need to transfer the Avios into Aer Club using the Combine my Avios function, which can be found here . You must sign in to each of your accounts and then transfer the points into the correct place.

5. Finally, you can head back to the search page, find your flights, and book. Easy peasy.

The whole process is a little fiddly, but the rewards of more routes, low taxes and a great product make this method a must in the arsenal of any miles and points collector.

If you want to increase the number of Avios in your account, remember that you can transfer points from American Express Membership Rewards to British Airways Executive Club at a 1:1 rate. In other words, 5,000 Membership Rewards points can be transferred to become 5,000 Avios.
