    We fly Aer Lingus regularly from Toronto to Dublin. Their business product is excellent but we also find economy very good. My husband is 6’ 1” and finds the economy seats are fine for leg room. Staff are consistently friendly in our experience. Hope you enjoyed Ireland.

    Thank you for your really great video on Aer Lingus from Denver to Dublin. I thought it was a good flight at a really great price. Food looked good and the Northern Lights were indeed a treat. When I immigrated to Canada, a long time ago, I flew Shannon into Montreal on a very old Boing 707. It was a great flight except for a weather delay in Shannon. I did fly several trips home on their 707s. Always was a pleasure. 🌠🍀🇨🇦

      @@mattsmoments2 Thank you for your reply. Back then, getting to fly on a 707 was a dream come true. I had worked at an International Airport before I left Ireland. Loud when taking off and across the Atlantic that night, there was a terrible storm
      and the plane "rattled" beyond belief. There were only 30 passengers plus crew on Board. Food was out of this world and it
      was like something out of an Agatha Christie Movie. Crew was spectular. Everyone told each other why we were on this flight.
      I was by far the youngest and everyone thought it so romantic that I was travelling to Canada to meet my Fiancee, who was an
      Irish Musician and we were getting married. It was December 21st 1972. Flying has changed so much since then. I hope you have a great week. I look forward to your further posts. I liked that you did not complain about anything on your flight. So many youtubers complain is their middle name !!!!

    Great flight report. I love the socks. We didn't get a close-up of the pin. 15:47 I love red-eye flights. More time in the day to do what you have to, then sleep wake up in a new country. How was the food? Service? Seat comfort?

    • @mattsmoments2
      @mattsmoments2  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You’re right about that. Red eyes are great for that reason. Load up on a lot of coffee in my case. lol I thought the food was above average, service was standard and friendly, and seats weren’t anything different than most economy long haul seats. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching

    Minneapolis was not a new flight for them, it was the last one they brought back from its suspension during the pandemic
    Hope you enjoyed your time in Ireland Matt! I spent a month there last year, exploring the whole island and I had a blast.
    I just completed a trip this summer that was six weeks long. I spent two weeks crossing Canada, where I took the Via Rail Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver. Then I flew to Australia for a month where I took two luxury passenger trains four times across the entire continent. Those trains are called, The Ghan and the Indian Pacific. I actually was on the train across Canada at the exact time you took this flight from Denver to Dublin, Matt. This is a great big world and it’s fun traveling to see it yourself.
    I’m actually flying back to Europe again in April. I met a beautiful lady on the train crossing Canada, and we really hit it off. We become good friends and are planning to meet up again on her home turf in Germany. I went there last year, but I haven’t seen much. She’s gonna be my own tour guide 😊. You never know who you’re going to meet while you’re traveling.

      Aer Lingus is part of IAG (International Airline Group),
      as are British Airways and Iberia.
      All three are "legacy airlines":
      Aer Lingus remains Ireland's national carrier,
      British Airways remains the UK's national carrier.
      and Iberia remains Spain's national carrier.
