I had my first experience of travelling with Aer Lingus through T2 a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't the lack of seats at the gate that bothered me it was the fact they are cold and very uncomfortable
metal seats full of holes. I would have thought that any modern terminal would have proper seats. All that money spent and the best they can do for the paying passengers is metal seats. The flight was delayed for an hour (unfortunately, this is normal when I fly EI, the other half of the flight was 50 minutes late) and I ended up walking around the terminal and, to be honest, I was unimpressed with its cluttered design and poor signage.
