![]() ![]() Once airborne, the flight attendants passed out free wifi vouchers to the Business Class passengers that were good for the duration of the flight. Service and Diningīefore take off I was offered champagne or orange juice. Once airborne duvets were passed out to each passenger. In addition to a pillow at the seat, there was also a water bottle and amenity kit with standard items (toothbrush, paste, Voya lip balm, Voya lotion, ear plugs, socks, eye mask). Under the screen is a pocket that holds the headphones.Įach seat also has air vents that can be adjusted I was able to stay cool on the entire flight which isn’t always the case. The entertainment screen is located on the back of the seat ahead. There isn’t enough room for a suitcase my roll on had to go above in an overhead bin. On the right hand (window) side you will find a desk area along with additional storage. The video screen is also touch sensitive if you would rather not use the remote.Īdditionally to the left is a small storage locker space. Inside the fold up panel is where you can find the tethered remote for the inflight entertainment. The tray table also folds out of the compartment on the left side. You have the reading light, water bottle storage, universal power outlet and earphone outlet, seat controls, remote control storage, and second seat control. Seat controls are located in two spots both on the left hand side - one higher and one closer to where your hand would sit.īelow you can see the full left hand (aisle) side of the seat. There is also a built in massage function for the seat (that really is more of a gimmick than actually beneficial). The seat does recline into a fully flat position for sleeping. Most of the space really isn’t useful but it is nice to have. It is a strange layout and even though the seat takes up a lot of room, the actual seat width is the same as other seats in Business Class and feels surprisingly narrow. The seat is in the middle and there is room between the seat and the aisle and the seat and the window. 3K and 5K are known as the “throne seats” as they take up the space of two seats. I was able to call in to Aer Lingus and reserve seat 3K. Traveling solo, your best seats are 3K and 5K, followed by 3A and 5A and then 2A, 4A, and 6A. The rest of the seats are in pairs except for seats 3K and 5K which are the best seats on the plane. The seats are staggered with rows 2, 4, and 6 each having five seats and rows 3 and 5 having four seats.Īll of the A seats have direct aisle and window access. Seatīusiness Class takes up rows 2-6 of the A330-200. Once onboard, only about half of the Business Class seats were filled. It is a shared Business Class lounge with Aer Lingus, Delta, United and American.īoarding was delayed by about 30 minutes. Once in the USA Pre-clearance area of the terminal, the Business Class lounge is 51st & Green. As I had Global Entry, I was able to quickly get through and for some reason didn’t have to go through security again while most other passengers did. This is great as you can then just walk off your plane when you get to your destination in the US. Flying from Dublin to the USA you go through US immigration in Dublin. Once through security, I headed down to the USA Pre-clearance section of the Dublin Airport. Upstairs at the security check there is a Fast Track lane for Business Class passengers. I wasn’t checking any bags but wanted to get a paper boarding pass. Aer Lingus has a dedicated Premium check in counter. I arrived at Dublin Airport about 2.5 hours before my flight. The Business Class seat is becoming less competitive but there are still a couple of good seats that can compete with other Europe-North America products. The A330-200 planes that Aer Lingus uses for long haul are on the old side. ![]() To note, it is extremely hard to find Business Class awards for 60,000 miles most price out to 240,000 miles which no one should even consider. The total cost of the two legs was 60,000 Alaska Airlines miles plus $82.25 in taxes and fees. The Nice to Dublin flight was in Economy (no Business Class offered) and the Dublin to Seattle was in Business Class. I was able to us Alaska Airlines miles to book a one way ticket from Nice, France to Dublin and then Dublin on to Seattle. ![]() ![]() After my Virgin Voyage, I needed to get back to Seattle. ![]()
