Also news is that Irish government and Ryanair are prepared to sell their stakes - BA is prime contender to snap them up.

If so it means BA return to Ireland and N. Ireland. What goes round etc. etc.

I saw fares from 600 quid recently.

I'm sure someone on here said they were going to be flying with them soon and was gonna do a TR to tell us all what it's like long haul in that class.

I think they flew with them earlier this year but I'm not sure if they did a TR.

Aer Lingus is rapidly becoming the DFS of the skies. No sooner have they finished one fare sale than another starts. Some of the European offers are great - €0 + taxes. A couple of years ago my son gave me a voucher for Christmas and from it I was able to get trips to Lisbon, Vienna, Amsterdam and London from it.

The business class fares to my mind are not so good and I have generally found VS cheaper.

My son has applied for a job in finance at Aer Lingus and has had interviews and an aptitude test. If he is successful I will see to it that he gets preferential rates for all V-Flyers wanting to cross the atlantic!! :o) :w

I had a look at their website and they promise "restaurant quality" food in business class. :)

I agree that £1600 doesn't really seem that great a price. The US immigration pre-clearance is quite attractive to me, but flying via Dublin would presumably more than wipe out the time saved!
