Sports equipment is not free with Aer Lingus, they charge £25.00 per item, per one way flight. There are plenty of advantages to flying with Aer Lingus but free sports equipment isn't one of them and neither is baggage as Aer Lingus have higher baggage charges as well.
Apologies, you're correct. But I was checking the Gat-Mal flight on June 16th and there are no charges for sports eq. on that. Check it out yourself. Must be an offer?
Anyways, just from my point of view as a regular joe soap customer, I prefer Aer Lingus's website.... I have no connections with the company...
In fact DUB crew now cover 50% of the crews needed in LGW. This sounds to me like a plan for something that won't run in the longterm.
Or possibly cutbacks in Dub given the drop in pax numbers to Ireland generally?
