- A Full Review of The Irish Airline Aer Lingus from New York JFK Terminal 7 to Manchester seated in Economy. Capturing the Airport Terminals, boarding the flight, Take off, Inflight Entertainment, Food service, Cabin Crew and Landing. Air Travel was once looked upon as a glamorous way to travel. These days we are treated like Livestock. Smaller seats, less legroom, terrible food and bad service. What's the point, we are basically Livestock!

Who on earth goes to New York for just one day? That's crazy.
I did pretty much the same thing back in 2008. American Airlines were doing cheap flights from Stansted, so I flew to JFK on the Saturday, stayed with friends in Brooklyn, and flew back on the Monday. Loved it.
Great stuff Lee! Hope you're feeling better now! I really appreciate your work getting this out for us! I really do love your travel videos especially. It feels like we are right there with you!
JFK T7 used to be the British Airways terminal (and a myriad of other carriers including United for many years) before BA moved to Terminal 8. I've taken many a flight - and seen many a Concorde** - from Terminal 7. It's more than 50 years old and it's the oldest remaining terminal in use at JFK. There is a reason why BA bolted!
It's definitely old and has poor sight lines of the ramp and suffers from a lack of natural light. Even in the BA days, it was substandard in terms of amenities and food choices (a McDonalds in the middle). Of course, I never got to see the Concorde Club lounge but I'll assume that was much better. Since BA left, it's kind of become the domain of other carriers that don't fit in the other terminals or alliances, and as a facility, it's looking tired and in less than prime condition. Its days are somewhat numbered. It will eventually become connected to, and possibly part of, Terminal 6 which is currently being built next door. Once that terminal is open, the plan is for T7 to close and be demolished/redeveloped. Large airports are never-ending construction sites.
** I was at T7 in 2003 to see the very last Concorde flight leave on its way back to London. Had to pull some strings to get past security (with no boarding pass) but there were others there to witness a little bit of history. Very bittersweet day, that one.
I'm drinking a glass of wine watching you ,I love your sense of humour 👍👍😊🏴
Stop slagging off Manchester Airport 😮
I agree. I’ve worked both there and at Heathrow and flown many, many times from both. An airport is an airport. Not much to choose between them.
It comes last in airport surveys year after year
Guy's a total numpty !
Why? It deserves all the criticism it gets!
We flew in to Heathrow from doha in September and we had to use the transfer bus at 7am ... So not only Manchester.
1. Manchester airport is class
2. You love Olive...On the buses.
3. Go back to Malaga city stunning.
Lee, thank you for all the videos, but STOP AND REST, get yourself well my friend, then back behind the camera. Take care, get well soon.
I like the 2-4-2 layout. Much better than 3-3-3 I like Aer lingus
You'll hate me for this, but there's something about watching someone else having a rotten travel experience, while chilling out at home with a brew which is really cosy!
Calling pilots glorified bus drivers is pretty patronising to people who have trained for years & have infinite more responsibility than a bus driver.
It's a bit like calling Lee an "entertainer"!
😂
What about the trolly dollies? Glorified sky waiters…
Truth hurts 🙂
Highly trained people.👍
It’s a bit of banter calm down , it’s like receptionists in a surgery who think there doctors
I once spent 72 hours in Sydney all the way from the UK. Absolutely amazing experience and a beautiful place, Sydney. So I understand your night away in New York!! Life is too short. Glad you are enjoying life and love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
last time i flew into manchester it was with a bunch of lads who used to be mates of mine, one lad had been a complete pain all holiday and i literally had to babysit every issue and problem he had, even when we landed he would not stop moaning.
so walking through nothing to declair i loudly said 'oi (name retracted) you still got them drugs up your arse!' he never spoke to me again!
Just returned from Barbados flying with Aer Lingus in economy, overall pleased with them, on time both ways, free to chose your seats, decent leg room, food was average but no worse than alot of airlines , would use them again definitely.
Thoroughly enjoyed this mini adventure, hope you’re fully recovered.
We have Fisherman's Friends here in the states for a long time now. I guess you heard that Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy. Nice vlog Lee, I hope you are feeling better.
Lee, the reason you were on a remote stand and transferred to the terminal by bus is possibly due to the lack of vacant stands with Air Bridges at that time in the morning due to the building work at T2 and volume of traffic. Certainly not because Manchester is 'Up North ' or anything like. I flew to Calgary from Heathrow earlier this year and hated it. Much prefer the new T2 at Manchester. Things will be much better when the terminal modifications are complete. Certainly not the worst airport I've ever used.
Can’t beat a transatlantic flight followed by a bus journey ! Hate it when that happens.
When I learned to fly I had a few instructors and they all went on to work for the airlines. They all say that the job is nothing more than a glorified bus driver - well observed ! Great vid, get well soon 👍
Good Evening Lee. Thank you very much for Inviting me along, on your journey. I could see how You and your fellow Passengers were Treated. The Quality of the In Flight Food and the Amount of leg room now on a Airplane. The Airlines, are Trying to reduce the Amount of Customer Service and the Overall Experience of Flying now. Aer Lingus, not bad i suppose, but lacking in other area's. I think Lee, you were Suffering from Severe Jet Lag. You needed, Plenty of Sleep and Rest. You really did do Your Best. Hope your Throat does get Better and I Hoped that you had a Safe journey back Home, to be with Your Family. Good Night Lee. Sleepwell. Jonathan/ Peterborough.
Not surprised you felt weary after that mega hectic 24 hour jaunt Lee, I was worn out just watching it!! 🤣 Great content as always. 👏👏
Flew from Terminal 7 JFK a few times in the past, as it used to be the BA terminal, but they fly from T8 now. Looks like is been refurbished since I was last in T7 though. Onwards. 😎
You've got a Porsche mid life crisis
I was sick after my Aer Lingus flight. Came home had a sleep after New York and woke up and was sick. Travel sickness caught up with me
Hang on a minute lee. You said you got through customs really quickly at Manchester Airport a while a go and said shame on Heathrow and how they should take note from Manchester. I am very confused now 😕. I gather different terminals are better or worse.
Different terminal. x
@@TheMacMaster I thought so Lee 🤗👍🏼. Get well soon and looking forward to more travel video's to the USA ✈️
Keep driving 3 odd hours from Leeds all the way down to Heathrow then……. OR …….pay more to fly on a better airline from Manchester and then you’ll get your beloved jet bridge and won’t have to slum it going outside! Poor old soul. 🤦♂️
Sorry for your bad trip back mate ,we live in a world where common sense seems harder than making things complicated
I hope youre feeling better Lee. As someone from Manchester i would advise you to avoid Manchester airport. 😀
Very interesting Aer Lingus flies non stop from New York JFK to Manchester, Lee. Looks like you are getting a nasty cold. Take good care of yourself with plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and have a nice hot tea with lemon.
My Uncle Dave, piloted 27yrs. for American Airlines. Boeing 727, then the 777. JFK & ORD to Shanghai, Seoul, & Tokyo mostly. He would fly N° over Canada & North Pole. Then S° to Asia, cutting the flight time almost in half. He's retired, in Naples FL. Been married to my Aunt, 38yrs. My Godfather :) Good man
- MDK ✌️
I take it, Lee, that your car started up immediately with no battery charge issues. Nice informative vlog.😊
Thought Neol Phillips was hiding behind the camera on this one dayer 😂😂😂
A scheduled airline parking up on remote where you have to get off onto a bus usually means that there has been a problem with the aircraft and needs to be checked by ground maintenance. I hope this helps
I'm off to Orlando with Aer Lingus on Monday. Might upgrade to their business class now!
$15 a pint for Stella? It's enough to make one give it up. Half as much on board.
I would not pay 15 cents for a pint of that rot gut.
Our hearts bleed for you, another whinging TH-cam video, you will get over it.✈️😍
Shut up and go watch someone else you can troll
It was fantastic mate and to see Martin again now onwards back to Manchester my friend let's go ✈️
What is the point in going "home"..????? You will be back in no time...!!!!!! Just stay there.
Thanks hun for sharing I enjoyed that thank you ❤❤❤xxxx
I think there is a huge difference between an airline pilot compared to a bus driver😆
Glass of red wine; eating mixed meat and prawn Indian curry (Madras strength), saag (spinach) rice and saag aloo (potato) Lee and enjoying some more of your adventures! 😊
Sadly Lee, as a resident of the Greater Manchester area, the trials and tribulations of Manchester airport are only to familiar.
Did you mean to put sadlee?
Nice video Lee, on your next plain trip look for a film called Ants on a plain, it’s a great film but you might start itching lol.
Lee you're on a role lol upsetting Liverpool now Manchester 😂
A Trolly a £1, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask and a muffin for breakfast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they go all out on air Lingus for there passengers 🤣🤣🤣Hope you feel better Lee 👍
Hope Lee is feeling a bit better tonight 🙏
Great video, I hate people who think they're on the apprentice while talking on their phones. 😅😅
I hope you get some rest and feel better once you get back home ❤️🏡
Didn’t you know that there doing terminal 1 up that’s why it’s in a bit of a mess at the moment , A lot of flights that go from terminal 1 are going from terminal 2 temporarily. Moan moan moan. Stop it
I enjoyed your JFK T7 moaning tour .🤣👍
That Muffin on the flight home and no air bridge on arrival at MAN I can see why your spirit seems crushed .😃
you had to leave the plane via steps because of the new pier being built-in and around T2
When you went to Australia last year you did a wake up scene, snoring and talking in your sleep haha....I found that funny...do it again on your next flight
Airports are a scam far too expensive for food drinks, even the duty-free now changing charging for trolleys it's a rip off
Feel better soon 😊
Well, hope you are feeling better now. :-) as for trolley charges....LAX is $5 !
Well done Lee loved you're quick stay with the silver fox really enjoyed you're vlog 👍
Thanks for the latest up load Lee! I too dislike Olives and salute Magpies 😅
Get some rest Lee and I am sure you will be feeling better in no time.
Take care Buddy 🙂
Wow we are going on holiday for 8 weeks next February 2025 and am flying Air Lingus from Brussels to Dublin and I am disabled ok it’s around an 1 1/2 flight but after watching your blogs about the airline I have everything crossed what I can but hey keep making your you tube videos love them you do a great job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The Aer Lingus short haul fleet is a bit more modern compared to their transatlantic widebodies. You get what you pay for though.
Hope your feeling better Lee !
What do you think of the Jaguar rebranding ?!?
Good job Porsche aren’t rebranding , I can see you now in one of those outfits in baby pink 🤣🤣🤣 strolling on the forecourt 😮
Hi lee great video good footage sorry u not feeling well maybe all them beers with the silver fox😂😂
Mister Macmaster! Lee they are tough up north wearing shorts & a hood up on the jacket 😂😂😂🎉
Enjoyed it Lee,guess what I’m in my favorite place…..Cyprus.😂😂❤️
I do like your flight videos. Now that I can’t travel any more these are a pretty good substitute. Thanks for persevering with the filming when you didn’t feel that good. Well done.
I don’t think being a pilot is as prestigious as it was a few years back. Hope you’re feeling better Macmaster.
Hey Lee. Smooth FM were playing Xmas songs earlier at work. Too early for Xmas trees and songs 😅. Quite like a pilots uniform tbh. An Officer and a Gentlemen comes to mind 😅 Loved the vlog ❤. Bless you. You did look tired please Take care and get some rest with your family .x
I know some flights at Manchester are step on step off but it's the first time I've seen it on a transatlantic flight. I have to admit though I do like flying from there. Great video Lee. Hope you're feeling better
Great video Lee . Hope you're feeling better 🥰🥰
I traveled from Newcastle to Tenerife a few weeks ago with Ryanair and the flight was okay but boy the seats made my rump end ache and feel numb. I’m guessing the long haul flights have comfier seats as I’ll be flying to Florida at some point
You'd make more of a trolly dolly than a captain. The way you manoeuvre your suitcase is impeccable! 😂 That breakfast, Air mingus.🤮
Ponce been spoiled act's like a mouning child
LOL!! You spell like a child! In fact my 4 year old could spell better than you. Please refrain from using your keyboard and go back to school! lol
I laughed when you said "Share this on Social Media" Are you having a laugh? I have never publicly admitted that I watch your home movies on TH-cam. 😂😂
Lol.
Yeah Manchester terminal 1 is dreadful. It's actually permanently closing in 2025 and will not be used. Terminal 2 however is now and soon to be one of the best. Heathrow is OK
yes Harriet is correct, birds have facial recognition built in make friends with a Australian magpie they will visit you daily
Where on Earth did you buy the brains to become a Graphic Designer ?
Same place as I bought the brains to get people like you to comment and make me $$$ by interacting with my videos. 😂 💲
Toblerone has always been my favorite!❤
Evening hun you sound very ruff . did you get man flu . you always get I'll wen being over there . get better soon hun take care of yourself . welcome home hun xxx❤❤
Great video thank you
Yay another flight video 😊
You love a good travel vlog Mac 😎
Aer Lingus used to leave from Terminal 5 which is even worse.Concorde used to leave from Terminal 7.Virgin leave from Terminal 4.
Horrible virus doing the rounds at present Lee. Every one hacking!! Magpie, afternoon sergeant. Get well soon x
Just getting my bug coming over from Majorca 2 weeks ago the down side of air travel good side for me Lee I'm just over it hope yours passes soon tell Sarah it's man flu !!
I used to work at Aer Lingus IT department at Dublin Airport.
There's a probability that your booking process "touched" some of my code.
Uuurrrgghhh, makes me feel dirty!
😂😂😂😂😂
How’s there 1970’s computer doing; apparently everything gets through that system, even these days 😅
Very nice people, very old hardware and UI.
It was a bit like driving a Model T.
It worked...just!
😂
@@richardbutler4488
Great volg again look alfter yourself
Cilla Black came from Liverpool too. ❤ Your funny Lee
Aer Lingus is not an Irish carrier anymore basically part of British Airways now Aer Lingus staff are always friendly but over the last few years the standards have dropped abit especially the food.
Like British Airways they’re now a budget airline with premium prices.
I have flown so much on so many different airlines I couldn’t name them all. I do remember this Airline though. I used them in 2009. They were the cheapest worst airline I have ever utilized and it isn’t even close. I see why they got bought out, they were horrible at what they attempted to do.
You probably got the steps at Manchester de to building works affecting some of the gates. I cant remember the last time I had to use steps at T2, which in my opinion is far better than T1, probably because its the one I'm most used to travelling via. All the security lanes at T2 departures now have the new scanners, which makes things quicker and a lot less crowded. A few weeks ago when flying to Tenerife from T2 iy only took 13 minutes from check-in to clearing security. That made the journey a lot less stressful, all airports need to like that. Hope you feel better soon. Regards, Ian Simpson.
Check the Evian water for high fructose corn syrup !!!! Americas cooked !
It is called "Cattle Car Class" for a reason. I have only flown Aer Lingus on short flights (such as Dublin to/from Edinburgh and to/from Paris). It was what I expected.
A lot of packaging for a bloody muffin 😂😂😂 and it’s still a bloody muffin wrapped in cellophane 🤔
I agree with you about the phones. Why do people hold the microphone end near to their mouth and the speaker nowhere near their ear. We don't all want to hear their conversations.
Brilliant vlog
Get well soon lee💪🏻
Cracking breakfast 😂😂
To the MacMaster: Aerlingus is providing you with a basic, affordable flight so that you, personally, have plenty of money left in your wallet to be ripped-off at the hands of greedy, corporate America when you get to the USA, or return again, which you seem to do over and over again on an extremely regular basis! Aerlingus are missing a trick. They should fill the interiors of the aircraft with 'tacky' American memorabilia and employ staff with American accents to extort a 25% tip at every opportunity with a 'Have a nice day, sir' and a fake smile.
You would love that. You would be a returning customer!!🤣🤣🤣
Hope you are feeling better, by the way.
I’m a sad old man too . Like an empty seat next to me .
Next time you fly Lee, use valet parking. It isn’t that expensive and saves all that farting about in buses.
And gives the local taxi drivers a break from using their own cars
I wouldn’t. I worked for Manchester airport and saw all the compensation claims they paid for damage to customers cars.
It' is insane how much Christmas stuff is our! ❤ It's been great seeing you in the USA again though ❤
Thanks Lee, you sure had a busy 2 days, well, it looks like you and Martin got stuck into the Guinness after dinner last night, it looked like it ! I enjoyed your flight back home, Take care go easy on the booze tonight 😉 👍 Au
Hi Lee hope you are feeling better, food on plane looked ghastly yuk, take care 😊😊
