Glasgow/Edinburgh to New York
Hi all, I hope you can offer me some advice or share your experiences with me. I'm taking my mum to NYC in August and I have a few options.
Preference is to fly from Glasgow but Edinburgh is doable.
I keep hearing adverts about flying Aer Lingus to do pre-clearance at Dublin but does the additional time this takes leave you with any net benefit from flying direct? Also how long do you need to allow for the transfer and pre-clearance? The times I see leave little transfer time so I'm not even sure it's feasible. It is good value though.
I flew EDI-JFK last year with AA and I wasn't particularly enamoured by the experience. Lack of individual IFE is fine for me as I can take a laptop but no such distraction for my mum, who isn't the best of passengers. Out of the direct options, is there one particular airline on this route that excels in terms of in-flight offering?
Im not necessarily looking for the cheapest option, just a good experience, so no Norwegian to the middle of nowhere or anything like that.
Thanks in advance.
