Thank god it´s evident that with 12 North American destinations bookable with Aer Lingus, North American´s ability to spell is better than yours... Lufthansa is established? What does that even mean? Should I infer that Aer Lingus is not despite it being older than Luftahansa (in its current form). Finally, Aer Lingus is simplified (anglicised) for the more thick amongst us, Air Fleet in Irish is actually aer loingeas.
