    It is sooooo rare to find a video where you can see what actually happens in the aircraft and not just 7 hours of a wing. Thank you for that

    Thank you for this video. Growing up in Holland and moving to Chicago, I flew many times to Amsterdam with my parents to visit family. The first time I went by myself, when I was 22, I flew from Chicago to Amsterdam with Aer Lingus. Airplanes are my passion, so the flights were one of the big highlights for me. Thanks for the extended video, especially in the airport, it brought back a lot of great memories.

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Thai John You are welcome mate. While the US preclearance is still time consuming, passengers who are running late for their flight can get priority in line and if you already have a US custom form (the one you fill in in the aircraft before arrival in the US) you can fill it in before preclearance and save another couple of minutes.
      Definately a big plus.

    • @jenniferjuniper97
      @jenniferjuniper97 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Where in Dublin Airport can I get a US Customs form? In line? I'm an American taking a return trip from San FRancisco to Dublin back to San Francisco.

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I flew last month from DUB to Washington and didn't have to fill in a custom form at the US pre clearance. When I flew to Chicago in 2015 I did had to fill in a form, these forms could be found just before going through the pre clearance.

    Man I don't know how many times I've taken that flight. It used to be that we'd have to fly to JFK or Boston then get a connection as Aer Lingus didn't have a direct flight back then so It was great when they decided to begin services to Chicago. And the fact that it's treated as a domestic flight is great when you get to Chicago as you don't have to deal with huge long lines at customs..

    thanks for the vid, I'm planning a trip traveling out of Chicago to Liverpool and I'll be going through Aer Lingus. I was skeptical on getting economy because I figured if I'm going to be on a plane for 7+hrs I want to be comfortable. I still will probably get business class but I definitely am surprised at how solid economy looks! thank you again!

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are welcome 👍 Business class is definately better then Economy, but like a viewer commented on a video of mine: "Cattle class ain't too shabby"

I don't stay long on my destinations, 5 days at the most and I look for bargain tickets on the Internet on a daily basis. For the trips I do and some hotels I stay I also save some FF miles which allows me an upgrade or promo award ticket once in a while.

      +dragonskiss86 Thanks for the comment mate :-)
      At this moment I don't record everything in 4K, but I think in the future it could be possible that I'll be recording in 4K. But 4K presents it's challenges for me, editting 4K videos is slower, exporting and uploading takes alot longer also. So yes there is a chance but I don't think it will be in the near future.

    • @dragonskiss86
      @dragonskiss86 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Window Seat Gotcha. I was just curious. In due time.....I know rendering 4k content is a lot more time consuming, as is uploading the exponentially larger files associated with such content. But until then, keep up the good work! By the way, what airfield is that at 17:05? I thought it was Midway at first.

      That airport is Chicago Executive airport. In the takeoff video from Chicago to Dublin you can see the same aiport again as we pass it from the other side. If you watch closely you can see "12" on one of the 3 runways th-cam.com/video/DTaLqkDzVB4/w-d-xo.html

  • @celticlofts
    @celticlofts 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've flown that route many times with AL over the last 30 years. We used to have to fly to New York and get a connecting flight to Chicago as Aer Lingus didn't have a direct flight to Chicago back then. I would hazard to guess I've made that trip about 30 times over the years and in all but a few cases I've flown with Aer Lingus. I last few with them about 4 years ago and the Airbus we used was just a bag of rattles and the seat I was in didn't recline but it was still a pleasant flight overall. I hope for the passengers sake they've replace that aircraft with a new one at this point.

    At 1:26 there's an escalator up to Gates 407 - 426 - the non-US gates. I thought this was a secure area separated from the rest of the airport. It looked like a couple of passengers were going up that escalator but I'd have thought anyone going to Gates 407 - 426 would not be on the lower floor in the first place.

    Surprised you didn't opt for the premium economy meal again. Do you think they're worth the extra price? Last time I flew EI to the US the free meal was terrible

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +ShamrockGoldCircle Thank you for commenting mate 👍 Is the premium meal worth the extra money? Well, depends really. I did enjoy the premium meal but the meal I ordered also included wine and salmon, which I don't eat/drink. But I knew that before I ordered it. So I payed for something I didn't consumed. But the chicken was good, and I bet the potatoes which should have come with it were also good. So if you are going to consume everything it's worth the extra money in my opinion. You do need to verify to the cabin crew with a voucher, which you receive after ordering, that you ordered the meal.
      On the other hand, the complimentary meal served on this flight tasted quite good. The reason I didn't ordered the premium meal this time was that I was curious of the complimentary meal.

    How did you mount the camera with the tray table view?

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did that using a suction cup with lots of water and stick it to the side of the aircraft. It's far from perfect because of the rough surface, but if it's not bumpy and you use enough water it will stick long enough to shoot a video. It will fall off eventually. It's one of the few times I did that.

    • @oliverjumelle
      @oliverjumelle 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +dontlookatender it depends on the availability of the gate. for example if and american airlines was due to arrive at gate 401 at 7am and was delayed until 9 then the next aircraft that was ment to use that gate will use the next available gate. lets say the inbound flight from chicago landed at 9.30 and the american was using its original gate then ei would get moved. and because ei dont move their aircraft out of there parking positions until they head back to the us that afternoon then they stay in the gates they were moved to

    • @Mugdorna

      +dontlookatender Dublin has a busy trade in repainting leased aircraft. (75% of international leasing companies have offices in Ireland) Often these aircraft are parked at the airport for up to 3 months between leases.

  • @skerr10
    @skerr10 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, Window Seat. How does the Aer Lingus 757 compare to the Aer Lingus A330 in your opinion? My flight in February from Dublin to Newark is showing the 757 and I am worried it wont be as good an experience.

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi skerr10, Thanks for watching my video. To be honest I prefer the 757 over the A330. I've flown 2 roundtrips DUB-US on the 757 and once on the A330. I think they use the 757 on routes that are less popular, and therefore these flights have a lower pax load (except on holidays). On all the flights with the 757 the pax load was around 60% maybe and had 1 seat free next to me, which means a little more space for me. On my flight with the A330 pax load was more like +80%
      Main differences between the 757 and the A330: the A330 has 2 aisles and inflight WIFI, the 757 has 1 aisle, no WIFI and a USB port for every passenger.
      Enjoy the trip!

    I have a question. I´ve only flown with a a380 on a long haul flight. and it was very smooth and I didn´t feel the tubulence that much. Because the a330 is a little smaller, was it more bumpy and is it comfortable?

    • @wasim3733

    Just subscribed 👍 I'm traveling for the first time by myself from Dublin to Chicago in a month and I'm perfectly fine with being on a plane, it's just the process of getting to my gate. I'm worried I'm gonna miss my flight because I've never gone through an airport by myself. My questions may sound stupid but, do you have to go through terminal 1 to get to your gate in terminal two? I just need to know the process of getting from the entrance of the airport to my gate

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your comment and subscribing. As I flew in from Amsterdam to Dublin I didn't go through the main entrance at Dublin airport. So can't give you an answer on that to be honest. But you don't need to worry, it's indicated with signs where you need to go. You won't miss your flight.
      When you enter the main entrance you need to look for departures. On this floor you can check in, see the departure screens for your flight and what counter you can check in. After check in you look for 'security control', 'to the gates' or 'departure gates', something like that. You can also ask when you check in where you have to go to proceed to the departure gates. There you will have to pass the xray and your luggage will also be checked. After that you pass customs where your passport will be checked. After that you are in the departure terminal on the passenger side. From there you follow the U.S. Pre Clearance signs. There your luggage will be checked again, and after that you will have to go through US customs where they will check if you have the right visa, tickets and passport. Once cleared you can proceed to your departure gate, which you can find on the departure screens throughout the airport. Make sure you listen to the announcements as your gate could be changed. But basically that's it, very easy just follow the signs. If you don't know you can always ask someone at a information point.
      Because you are already pre cleared in Dublin for Chicago you can go to 'bagage claim' after landing and then to the exit.
      Enjoy the trip and let me know how it went!

    I got excited watching your video because I'm leaving for Ireland 2 week from today. Flying from Boston to Dublin on Aer Lingus. It's an overnight flight, so I'm hoping I will be able to sleep. Any suggestions?

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Spoiled Rotten Great Dane Great you got excited 😊 I don't usually sleep on flights. I don't know where you are sitting and how tall you are, but if you are sitting in close proximity to the galley or toilets the activities around these areas could disturb your sleep. A set of earplugs could help. Sitting in the aisle could have the same effect with people passing by, therefore I think a seat by the window is the best seat for a decent rest, unless you can get more free seats and lay down.
      Enjoy the flight!

    Would you recommend the exit row? I'm flying to Dublin in 8a. Worth the upgrade?

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, that depends on where you are flying from (actually how long the flight is) and if you are a tall person. I am 1.69m and I never take an exit row because I don't see any advantage for me to do this. But if you are tall and the flight is 8 hours or longer, it could be worth the upgrade. You could also consider to upgrade on your way to Dublin and if you like it upgrade for the return flight. Enjoy the flight 👍

  • @19bootsy68

    Excellent trip report my friend...only problem for me would be having to pay for alcohol...like another poster has said it has a Ryanair feel to it. It's not the end of the world...but when I fly with friends we like to have a few vodkas. How did you position your camera looking down on the meal tray?

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +19bootsy68 Thnaks for the comment mate 👍 I don't drink alcohol when I fly so I don't have that problem :-) But apart from the luggage and alcohol you don't have to pay for extra's like the IFE, meals and food on long haul routes. On the short haul operations you do have to pay for food and/or meals. The service on the ground and in the air is also better then Ryanair in my opinion.
      I placed the camera with a suction cup on the side of the cabin, right next to the window. While this surface is not completely smooth, when using alot of water on the suction cup it will hold the cam long enough to take some shots.

    • @19bootsy68

    • @WindowSeatVideo
      @WindowSeatVideo  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +19bootsy68 Yes it happens sometimes. Depending on the situation most of the time the crew asks me out of interest when they see my cam why I film and when I tell them what it is for they almost always react positive.
      Around 50% of the times a fellow passenger asks me why I am filming and I tell them what it's for.

    • @WindowSeatVideo

      Cheers mate! I don't think they said something about it on this flight. Most of the time cabin crew react positive on the cam and mount, it can happen that they don't approve it but in my experience it is around 2% of the times.
