Baggage allowance on connecting flights
From Aer Lingus website:
For Aer Lingus journeys between North America and the UK or Continental Europe, the long-haul checked baggage allowance will apply for all flights within the itinerary, unless there is a stopover of more than 14 days in Ireland, then each flight within the itinerary will have the relevant shorthaul or longhaul baggage policy applied to that part of the journey.
Given that connecting flights from SEN will be operated under EI flight numbers, the above should apply?

Any passenger connecting from EI-R to EI on a transatlanric flight is allowed 1 x 23kg for check in and 1 x 7kg for hand baggage ( although EI hand baggage is 1 x 10kg, EI-R only allow 1 x 7kg)

A phone call to EI should sort it out. They did for me when I booked two separate tickets LGW-DUB and then DUB-JFK the next day after over nighting in DUB with friends.
More interestingly, what if the ATR is full of people with the extra luggage allowance? Unlikely I know, but it might need a push....

Regardless if you have made 2 seperate bookings or not you will still be allowed 1 x 23kg plus 1 x 7kg as you will be connecting EI to EI. All you would have to do is advise the check-in agent you are connecting and they would add the onward into Astral and your luggage will be checked to your final destination.

AS ground 1 says its that simple, all the PAX agent at southend has to do is add on your connection flight on astral which is easy to do which should then allow the agent to give you both boarding passes. The only restriction is you are only allowed 7kgs of luggage on EIR flights and i think the size of the bag is also a little smaller than that allowed on EI flights as well as being allowed 10kgs.

Aer Arann to operate all flights from Ireland as Aer Lingus Regional
(Wednesday, 14th March 2012) Aer Arann and Aer Lingus today announced that under an expansion of their existing franchise relationship Aer Arann will operate all of its services between Ireland and the UK, France and the Isle of Man under the Aer Lingus Regional brand from 25th March 2012.
The Waterford routes transitioning to the Aer Lingus Regional brand include those between Waterford and London Southend, Manchester and London Luton.
Passengers with Aer Arann bookings for travel after 25th March will be contacted by the airline with updated booking information. While flight numbers will change, there will be no change to existing flight times.
Flights from Waterford with Aer Lingus Regional for travel after 25th March will be available for booking from Thursday 15th March on Aer Lingus- cheap flights, gift vouchers, hotels, car hire, & travel insurance.
“We are absolutely delighted to strengthen our partnership with Aer Lingus and this move represents a major strategic development for Aer Arann. Operating under one renowned brand will enable us to streamline our services, resulting in an overall improved experience for our customers”, said Aer Arann Interim CEO, Sean Brogan.
Welcoming the improved agreement, Aer Lingus Chief Commercial Officer Stephen Kavanagh said, “This expansion of Aer Lingus Regional’s service offers more choice and value to the travelling public. I welcome Aer Arann’s confidence in the Regional franchise model and wish them continued success.”
Also welcoming the announcement today was Waterford Airport CEO Graham Doyle, "We're thrilled to have Aer Lingus Regional at Waterford Airport. The airline's routes to key UK cities are hugely important for business people and the people of Southeast. For visitors to the region to be able to book on aerlingus.com will be a huge boost for tourism here. We hope everyone in the Southeast will see the potential that this development offers and we very much look forward to working with the team at the airline."
Additional routes transitioning to the Aer Lingus Regional brand on 25th March include those between Dublin to the Isle of Man and to Kerry.
Combined with the existing 21 Aer Lingus Regional routes available from Dublin, Cork and Shannon, which are operated by Aer Arann, the move significantly increases Aer Lingus’ presence in the Ireland-UK market.
Aer Arann will continue to assume full operational and commercial responsibility for the services covered by the franchise agreement, with Aer Lingus receiving a franchise fee in recognition for providing its brand and product suite to Aer Arann.
All Aer Lingus Regional services will be operated using Aer Arann ATR72 and ATR42 aircraft and crew and will be sold and distributed through Aer Lingus- cheap flights, gift vouchers, hotels, car hire, & travel insurance.
From 25th March the following routes will be operated by Aer Arann under the “Aer Lingus Regional” brand:
1. Dublin – Isle of Man
2. Dublin – Kerry
3. Waterford – London Luton
4. Waterford – London Southend

That's good news, and long awaited. Good luck to all.
I assume that (although not mentioned in the press release) IOM-LCY is therefore for the chop? RE would hardly keep their brand and a booking engine working for just one route.

Airlines to expand Aer Lingus Regional deal - The Irish Times - Wed, Mar 14, 2012
:: Manx Radio :: The Isle of Man's Premier Radio Station ::
...although I am not sure if this simply is an (incorrect) interpretation of the press release. Sounds litter utter madness for an airline to operate two routes from an airport that must be booked at two different websites.

I know the airside walk from T1 to T2 can be a bit annoying, but would it not be a better option to get people to do that rather than having the confusion of check in at two different terminals.
Does T2 have anywhere that passengers can be loaded onto a bus?

Ya would agree there should be room for further rationalisation of back office support, supervisor and mgt levels and I'm sure AA will be happy to terminate the lease if they can in the santry office and move to the airport to be closer to their partner. Also interesting to note that there is no mention of the end of the Aer Arran regional brand....after all the hard work by the airline and it's owners, managment to remain an independent airline after all these years.....there must be mixed feeling there somewhere....anway onwards and upwards for all
