Flying business class is always an experience, and a recent passenger shared their thoughts on Aer Lingus’ business class service from Dublin to JFK and back. At a fare of €1600 with no Avios used, the journey came with its ups and downs.
Aircraft & Seating Experience
Both flights were operated on an A330-300, which showed visible signs of use. While the business-class product was basic, it still provided a comfortable journey. However, cleanliness could have been improved to enhance the overall experience.
Service & Hospitality
The crew delivered friendly and professional service throughout the flight. Despite some limitations, the service was well-received, adding a positive touch to the experience.
Food & Wine Selection
Although some menu options were unavailable, the food and wine selection remained satisfactory. While not exceptional, it still contributed to a decent onboard dining experience.
