I once had to go to Dublin for the day to attend a business meeting. My company booked me on Aer Lingus in business class out of Heathrow. This was back in the mid-90s, when EI offered a champagne breakfast to business class passengers. There were so many in business class on that early morning flight that the economy section was about three rows at the back! That early morning champagne buzz made it a great flight! 😊
On the road again. I was singing that. LOL. Willie Nelson. Eleanor was lovely. I can understand plastic, but the wooden cutlery puts me off too. I would rather not eat. Happy Monday. Wishing you a great week. x
I used to always use Manchester to NYC via Dublin for the preclearance but I did Manchester to NYC direct last year both with aerlingus and the direct was far quicker through security at jfk than dublin
I've only ever flown from Manchester internationally, as it's the most convenient for me to use. I always went from and to T2, as all my journeys were west to east. I always found it a pleasant enough place to be in, but then, it's the only experience I've had so can't draw any comparisons.
Yer know what, it amazes me when I watch your Vidz that many people still bring on a backpack plus case and take up double the room in the overhead compartment, they should be considerate like you and check the damn case in!!!
Back fourth back fourth ✈️ , don’t you get fed up with it . Great to clear immigration in Ireland I did that on the BA001 from LCY Shannon New York on the A318 it was lovely when there was 2 hour lines at jfk
Another great video, Lee. I have dual nationality, so I use my Canadian passport going to Canada or the USA and my British passport returning to the UK. Makes life a lot easier and no visa payments.
I've been flying from Manchester Airport since 1973. At terminal 1 (which was the only terminal) where you are airside used to be landside with the large chandeliers. You could go there and use the cafes bars shops etc. You could drop passengers off outside the doors for free or go into the car park and hand your car over to a guy when you used the chauffeur service again for free.
Hey hun I am here watching you . don't like Manchester airport . I prefer Liverpool John Lennon Airport I love the way you put your thumb up and smile . it makes me smile aswell xxx❤❤
east mids have the new trial security area now, so u dont have to take liquids or electronics out :) took me literally 2 mins to go thro at the end of october :) going from east mids on tues for benidorm :)
Hi Lee, we flew Aer Lingus to Los Angeles on a tour in 2018. Our flight to Dublin from Manchester was on a propeller driven plane, but going through American immigration in Dublin was brilliant. Landing in LA was straight to baggage reclaim and we were gone!
i have a 1960s green aer Lingus bag from when my Dad worked as an aero engineer for McDonald Douglas they gave the bags for people to put there duty free products in !
Don't understand your issue with filming through security etc, Noel Phillips does it every time and never seems to have a issue 😂😂 Keep up the great vlogs my friend.... let's go!
Fantastic video Lee! Travel day videos are great! Manchester airport isn’t that bad! T2 has the new scanners which are fab! Only issue was the DJI mic 2 noise suppression it made the sound awful :-( I never use that option it sounds like you were speaking in a fish bowl 😂😂. Keep up the great work Lee! Amazing!! ❤❤
Gatwick was the most efficient airport I’ve flown with recently, don’t know if I was lucky but parking, check in, security, and customs and baggage when returning was so fast. Nothings been close recently at any other airport.
See the weather in Dublin didn't disappoint. I'm 70 and was bought up to believe it was rude to wear a hat indoors, if you were a man. Times change I know, but it always rankles with me. When I see a gentleman wearing a hat indoors.
Great video as always We much prefer Aer Lingus to RA We think Staff are friendlier & no extra charges like RA for hand luggage etc though do agree in cabin prices are expensive that’s expensive Dublin & Failté ( welcome) 🍀💚 of course the dominant colour was green lol 🍀Glad you enjoyed your flight x👍👍💚
Aer Lingus is part of the IAG group which was formed when BA and Iberia Merged. Have considered flying with Aer Lingus to Florida with the kids would save so much time at Border control in MCO which always use to be a nightmare but the new terminal there might of solved that problem.
Use the new MPC app. It saves a lot of time going through immigration in the USA. I used it in MCO in September and was through inside 10 minutes when the main queue was over an hour.
When me and Leanne went in September. It was less than 40 minutes to get through immigration.. but ended up waiting over an hour for our private pick..
Lee, while you were talking about the life jacket and whistle the guy behind you was eyeballing you like you were nuts, but you caught him picking his nose!
I don’t understand why people are giving such a problem if silver fox got your package cheaper here then over in uk what’s the problem he got you deal and it’s always nice seeing you back here USA :) welcome back for two days waiting for the video while you’re here
I saw you at the airport last week you whilst were checking the screens by the aer lingus desks at the airport but i was busy screening on the oversize Baggage inspection belt lol , i'm actually in the background very early in the video :) .. it's T2 with the 3d scanners it's much better Lee .. so we've had both you and Geoff carter go through in the past two weeks lol ..
Hi Lee - the easiest way to get to Manchester Airport is by train - it takes you into the airport and only a short walk to all the terminals. Also there is a huge revamp happening where most of the flights will be going from T2. Love all your videos - I live just south of Kendal so know all your local hangouts in this area, keep safe and thank you. Now onwards
13:53 Smirnoff Blue 50% 1 lt at £12.99; is one of the rare bargains in world duty free at uk airports, but they do try to hide it behind the Red Smirnoff which is only 40%. Otherwise it’s an very expensive duty free shopping experience. If your after a cheap litre of Jameson Ryanair do a litre bottle onboard duty free flights for €20.00 but it’s a gamble if they have it in stock or not 😅
I’m from Dublin and have flown to the us number of times and it’s a gift to do pre clearance here. One time I flew threw Gatwick to Orlando and was an hour and a half waiting to go threw at Orlando wouldn’t be doing that again
I’d say 90% of the time when I fly to Europe, I fly through Dublin. I absolutely love using Global Entry it’s so great that they have a US port of entry there. Dublin airport is super convenient and Aer Lingus is great they always offer cheap upgrades to business class.
Thank you for filming the vlog. Great information because I'm going to St Louis next year for a family wedding, I think I will fly from Dublin to save time in US immigration
@@sharons6891 Sometimes my brother got a lift on the cargo planes, rather than normal passenger planes. He said the way those guys flew the planes was terrifying. No passengers to worry about!
I should imagine the grogginess is down to the Aircraft Air Conditioning, my wife feels terrible pretty much after every flight and I felt groggy on a recent flight back from Zante. Onwards my Friend!
20:45 that Aer Lingus breakfast is excellent but it’s very hard to encounter and buy these days 😅 they only load I think 5 and it’s just in flights before 11am. You could pre order a few years ago but they stopped that. Also the hot breakfast is only getable on A320/321 flights to/from Ireland UK and Europe NOT the ATR flights on Aer Lingus regional flights.
Lee as long as your global entry is renewed you should be good to go. The new card took a while to come in but was able to travel without the new card and use the global entry line.
The pre clearance is the best I travel to NY quiet abit it's very handy Aer Lingus staff are always so friendly but the US carrier's also fly out of Ireland aswell and can be cheaper then Aer Lingus Shannon Airport in Ireland also does flight's to the US so there is plenty of options to shop around for good prices.
Lee. Can't really understand why you were not really happy with Aer Lingus. I've used them on DIRECT flights from Newark and JFK to Shannon. Except for Irish food, everything was great. I think you rated them a little lower ONLY because of a connecting flight.
Lee, after all the airport videos you've posted I'm seriously considering going by minibus for my next trip from Romania to the UK. Although it's a three day journey each way, the pick up points are more convenient to reach and, since I won't need to arrive three hours before departure and join queues for check-in, passport control and boarding, I will save one day on each journey anyway. Since Romania is now in Schengen zone for overland journeys my UK passport and RO Residency card will only be checked on leaving and re-entry of the Schengen zone. Cost of the journey is €150 each way with 10% discount for booking the return journey. No limit on baggage and no faff in getting to/from airports at a ridiculously early hour of the day to queue at check-in, passport control and immigration!
I went through Dublin back to the states five years ago, US customs in Dublin is a doddle, you'd be sat in the airport anyway, so why not do something with your time. The Irish are so Nice, I could not say a bad word about Aer lingus or the Airport, everybody was over the top nice and helpful, Id go that route again without a doubt.
Evening hun we fly tomorrow afternoon about o'clock from John Lennon airport . and get to Tenerife about 5 o'clock. Hun if you are feeling groggy are you tired . that may be the problem. Or as you say it may be the beer that you had xxx❤❤
Aer Lingus - the best airline Ive ever been on. Used to go to Dublin twice a year, always friendly staff and enjoyable flights.
We love flying with aer lingus from dublin to usa 🇺🇸 can't fault them
Aer lingus. I flew manchester to jfk i loved aer lingus. Great staff, food and movies. Very attentive and caring.
Hi Lee. Came in from work and put this straight on. Brilliant vlog. Enjoy yourself and take care❤
Thank You x
If I was flying Air Lingus I’d always ask for seat 2B and make them acknowledge it. 2B sure!!😂
Loved traveling with you. Don't have too much fun with The Silver Fox. Be careful in NY.
I flew Aer Lingus Manchester to Dublin back in 1967, twin prop plane with outside toilet.
When Thomas Cook failed 5 years ago and left us hanging we came back to Seattle with Air Lingus, great airline and great people.

Top of the morning says nobody ever in Ireland.
The supposedly Irish 'House of Pain' used to say it. Did they make it up?🤔
Do love the calming music you put on your videos, Lee, with your editing.
Thanks Roger.
Me too Roger, the music really works.
Back fourth back fourth ✈️ , don’t you get fed up with it . Great to clear immigration in Ireland I did that on the BA001 from LCY Shannon New York on the A318 it was lovely when there was 2 hour lines at jfk
Once my Global Entry Renews I won't have to do the immigration part. Just Scan Passport.
Luv ‘Aer Fungus’ flew with them several times in the 90s and 2000s…

You always look really happy when you are traveling ❤
The amount of times I’ve traveled through terminal 1 at Manchester airport and next year it’s going, so many memories 😢
Great video as always! Jaysus you’re almost at the 200k. So proud of you
MISTER MACMASTER Another excellent vlog 👌🎉

Im assuming Lee is sat in new York editing somewhere supping Jameson lol
If lee is drinking jameson's hope he doesn't lose his bottle?!
Another great Vlog enjoyed every minute keep up the good work
Always look forward to your videos on an evening Lee.
Dinosaur Pajamas, need I saw more, Love your smooth music choices Lee, Thanks.
Love Ireland. I'd have got off there! 🍀
Another cracking vid. A long way to go get a bag fixed buy hey…it’s NYC so always worth the trip!

Aer Lingus incredibly nice staff
I met shannon on aer lingus she was a nice girl!

We were at T1 Manchester last week its an old dump , only 4 seats to sit down on while waiting for gate to open and no where to have a brew .
When me and Leanne went in September. It was less than 40 minutes to get through immigration.. but ended up waiting over an hour for our private pick..
Lee, while you were talking about the life jacket and whistle the guy behind you was eyeballing you like you were nuts, but you caught him picking his nose!

Cracking flight vid ✈️
I guess things will improve when T2 is completed. Flew from T2 with Virgin to New York 10 days ago. Virgin crew were fantastic 👏 👌
10 out if 10 for the volg love it
Couldn't get "Davy's on the road again" out of my head after the lack of pavement walk to T1 😄
Everyone in ireland knows of pre clearance im shocked you being a pro didnt know this ! Shock gasp 😳 😍
I saw you at the airport last week you whilst were checking the screens by the aer lingus desks at the airport but i was busy screening on the oversize Baggage inspection belt lol , i'm actually in the background very early in the video :) .. it's T2 with the 3d scanners it's much better Lee .. so we've had both you and Geoff carter go through in the past two weeks lol ..

Great video Lee! Not one but TWO flights! Great stuff! Enjoy New York!

Lee, I pray for you for the luck of the Irish: "May the sun shine warm upon your face, may the wind be always at your back".
I am glad Stanstead is getting a few million put into it, hopefully we will be able to fly to USA from there, loved the video Lee 😊
I’m from Dublin and have flown to the us number of times and it’s a gift to do pre clearance here. One time I flew threw Gatwick to Orlando and was an hour and a half waiting to go threw at Orlando wouldn’t be doing that again
I find the Irish to be very friendly and welcoming 🥰🥰
For the information, the front of the food menu it says "Bia", this means "Food" in Gaeilge (Irish Language)
bìa pronounced as bee a
I’d say 90% of the time when I fly to Europe, I fly through Dublin. I absolutely love using Global Entry it’s so great that they have a US port of entry there.
Dublin airport is super convenient and Aer Lingus is great they always offer cheap upgrades to business class.
You got a whistle.reminds of that dave allen aeroplane monologue 😊
When Lee mentioned the whistle, the guy in the middle seats just glared - I didn't like the way he looked at him! Strange. 43:46
Let's go ❤ I love Irish music and food and history etc
Looked alright those two flights.
Gaz Yorkshire.
Thank you for filming the vlog. Great information because I'm going to St Louis next year for a family wedding, I think I will fly from Dublin to save time in US immigration
My brother was an exec for FedEx. He always flew to America from Dublin.
FedEx always makes me think of Tom Hanks.

Got to top floor of T1 car park great view of airfield
They have a direct flight from Manchester to jfk. 😊
I feel like I'm the only person who has never flown. Having said that, looking at this, I don't feel I'm missing out.

My most favourite video mate travel day onwards my friend let's go and don't forget duty free 😉
Wooden cutlery thought it just myself. I prefer plastic too.
Wooden cutlery is compostable. Plastic is pollution. You need to keep up!

It does look very cramped. Very
Lucky to get a seat with vacant one next to you . Since you moved.
Great video thank you
I'm off to NY next May Lee, 5 nights Breakfast inc, nr times sq, direct from Manchester using Aer Lingus, cannot wait 😎

Yesss the airport is back im happy now cheers mate 😁
I remember the old spoof vodka ads . I thought cunnilingus was an Irish airline until I discovered Smirnoff .
2:30 If you're lost already, just ask someone where the AIRPORT is. It must be near by, somewhere close.
It doesn't seem that long ago that you were here in the USA 💕
I go to the end first to see if you made it.
