and an enormous amount of room, workspace and storage. The unique seating layout in Aer Lingus' new Business Class offers some single seats with privacy. Even on the short leg in coach, staff scrambled to serve actual meals to everyone on a flight where we would never expect to get more than pretzels - if that - in this country. The food is well above average even for premium class with plenty of variety but just enough Irish touches to provide a sense of place, from scones to Irish whiskey to Magners cider. This comes in handy for both working, with more laptop room, and eating, which is a big part of the Aer Lingus experience. Even the tray tables impressed, oversized and one solid piece, not folded. All aisle would be the best scenario, but this design also offers the rare option of sitting completely solo, and with tons of space. Seating uses an odd but ultimately good layout, staggered 1-2-1 and 2-2-1, so most but not every seat has direct aisle access. The video screens are big, the entertainment selection impressive, the notice cancelling headphones pretty good, and unlike just about every other carrier, premium passengers get a code for free inflight WiFi (I didn’t try it but every review I’ve seen likes the speed). Like newly upgraded business class with all the lay flat bells and whistles, including well designed ergonomic touches such as better placed outlets, better seat controls, and lots of storage, even a large, closed shoe compartment missing on most competitors. But there’s a lot more to the story than great service.
