AER LINGUS BUSINESS CLASS CUSTOMER SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A330

DUB-ORD. Flight attendants were wonderful and very pleasant. It was a daytime flight, so I didn't try the seat in the bed position; I did find it awkward to know how to adjust just the pitch or just the leg rest--until the end of the flight when I saw more controls were hidden on the retractable remote. Somewhat limited movie choices. Didn't like the way there is no storage for carry-ons except in the overhead bins. Also would prefer a 1-2-1 configuration instead of the 2-2-2.

Very comfortable seat, only problem is that if you sleep on your side you feel after a while that you are sliding off the end. Controls are easy to use and width as well. Pillow provided could be a bit bigger but that's minor. Excellent service, boarded on time on a completely full flight in ORD. Lounge in ORD was a bit tired and could have done with updating but I understand it's a shared lounge so probably not much can be done about that. Cabin crew couldn't have been better. Evening meal and drinks were on a par with BA. Breakfast was a bit non-existent but timed perfectly. Only issue was a family who were in Row 1 with twin 6 month old infants who took turns to scream through the night. The cabin crew were very attentive to them and I felt sorry for the parents but would have preferred the quietness that normally comes with Business. Baggage was first off also which was very good.

The layout is a traditional 2-2-2, meaning if you are in a window seat you will have to climb over your neighbour to get to the aisle if their seat is reclined. The seats are comfortable for sitting and relaxing, with a good variety of adjustments. They are not ideal for sleeping as they are angled, but reasonable enough if you fine-tune the controls. Food and drinks good, but not outstanding. Service friendly and helpful without being over-bearing. Very enjoyable flights and good value if you book early enough.

Seat was very comfortable, of an excellent width, and was very private from other passengers. However, the length of the seat was just the correct size for me which made it slightly awkward when lying down. The 160 degree recline made me feel as though I was slipping off the seat which made me take a while to relax. The difference between lie flat and a few degrees above is immense in terms of comfort.

This seat was comfortable for relaxing, and was happy until I went to sleep. The seat was at an awkward angle and hard not to slide to the bottom of your seat.

The new Recaro lie-flat seating in Aer Lingus Business Class offers a significant improvement when compared with the older style seating. The seat is angled lie-flat but comfortable for sleeping when fully reclined, with the outer armrest dropping down to offer more width. There is a lack of storage space when the seat is fully reclined. The controls for the AVOD system are stored in the inner armrest. IFE screen is located on the back of the seat in front - or on the cabin wall in case of Row 1. The response time from the seat controls is rapid.

The new Aer Lingus Business seat is a vast improvement on the old product. It's soft but offers sufficient support when seated and sleeping. The new IFE is reasonable but seems to have limited content which is surprising as it's AVOD. Sleeping in the new seats can be awkward as it's angled when in the "lie flat" position. The actual cabin is a bit boring, lots of white and grey which makes the cabin feel a bit "cold" .
