    Was the glorious trip to Florida a one off or could Aer Lingus deliver a consistently solid Business Class package? A question I wanted to answer as I upgraded my flight home. Enjoy this Aer Lingus travel vlog in what I feel is one of the best budget (mainstream?) business class packages in the sky!

      @@shaunpayne81 You can get really affordable BC flights with Aer Lingus depending on when you go, naturally me upgrading at the desk is most likely the most expensive it’ll ever be but if you shop in advance you can get some good deals!

    Excellent video!! 😅👏 Thank you for sharing the Air Lingus business class experience. Heading to UK upcoming summer 2025 for parks, and considering booking business class for long haul.

      Highly recommend it, I did both journeys there and back but coming back on a late afternoon flight and getting some sleep you’ll wake up on UK time with zero jet lag. Thanks for watching!

    Sooo funny the way fear of heights impacts people differently. I can't look out the window until maybe half way up but then I love it once I'm up there.
    That first bit of leaving the tarmac though 🤢

    We use that lounge each time we goto MCO. If you have a Revolut metal pack you get free access to the lounge for you and your party. An advantage if you don’t want to pay the business class prices.

    I really enjoy your vlogs! I'm doing the aer lingus flight from MAN to JFK next year in business class, I know you've said that you're scared of heights and I'm in the same boat.. I haven't flown in years because of it. Any tips on staying calm during the flight? And it's nice to see a fellow Stokie on here!

      @@CharlotteAndWhiskey Hey fellow Stokie! I think with me and especially with what I do (riding coasters / travelling) it’s always a feel the fear and do it anyways otherwise I wouldn’t get very far. Closing the blinds after take off / looking away or at the screens infront of me certainly help. Just any distractions really that keep you occupied if it bothers you that much. Really appreciate you checking out the vlogs!

    Hi if you're afraid of heights and hate taking off my advise is bring your own buebtooth headphones download movies and watch them and DONT look down 😅 But seriously its the noise of the engines that i hate so the earphones and movie helps and I just bury my head in the phone

Aer Lingus have a bidding system in place in the days running up to your flight where you can bid on a seat, you’ll get it cheaper this way but it’s not a guarantee of an upgrade unless you’re accepted
