Aer Lingus 50% Offer

Larry the Man

This looks like a lot of Marketing hype by Aer Lingus.

The offer is for travel in the first quarter of next year and has to be booked by 19Nov.I doubt many people will be thinking abt booking at this stage for next year.

In addition the reduction only applys to the actual fare...not taxes and charges , admin fee, baggage, seat selection fee.

So the total charge has to be more than £29.99 ex BHD or more than £45.99 ex LHR otherwise the fare component is £0.00 and 50% off £0 is a saving of £0.

If you travelled on the most expensive day/flight each way in January ,the saving is £2.49 each way or £4.98 in total. Hardly worth laying out the cash and committing yourself by 19Nov to travel in the first qtr of next year to save less than £5 on a roundtrip ticket.

Its clearly just a carrot to try to get more people aware of the new EI services.
