New transatlantic enhancements from Aer Lingus

Aer Lingus is elevating its transatlantic travel experience with exciting new onboard enhancements for all 
customers. Customers in Business Class can now enjoy a refreshed menu and elevated amenity kits. 
These upgrades are part of the airline's ongoing commitment to enhancing customer experience and 
solidifying its status as a Skytrax 4-star airline, a distinction it has proudly held since 2016.


Business Class Dining Experience: Customers flying in Aer Lingus’ Business Class cabin will enjoy an 
elevated dining experience with the introduction of a new seasonal spring menu. On westbound flights, the 
new Business Class menu includes melt-in-the-mouth smoked salmon with crisp samphire in a citrusy 
dressing, and skin-on thyme and parsley chicken supreme. Dessert options include a light and fluffy lemon 
cream mousse dome or a local Irish cheeseboard. An exciting new light bite option of crispy Korean BBQ 
popcorn chicken on a salad of Asian black rice is also sure to delight customers. 


New Amenity Kits: Aer Lingus’ new Business Class amenity kits include products from natural skincare 
brand Jo Browne Ireland, made using eco-friendly materials. The pen and toothbrush incorporate wheat 
straw, while the earplugs and dental kit pouches are made from plant-based and biodegradable materials. 
The kit also includes Jo Browne’s Signature Blend Lip Balm and Hydrating Moisturiser, all packaged in 
100% sugarcane tubes. A premium 3D-molded eye mask and luxurious socks are included in the kit to 
ensure a restful journey. 


Onboard Enhancements: Customers flying in Aer Lingus’ economy cabin will also enjoy complimentary 
meals and snacks on transatlantic flights, including a choice of Vinca organic red or white wine, beer, soft 
drink or juice with their meal. Aer Lingus is one of the world’s leading airlines for onboard entertainment, 
with over 1,300 pieces of content for customers to choose from. There’s endless hours of games, new 
release movies, and TV box sets. Disney+ favourites like Loki (Season 1), The Mandalorian (Season 1), 
and Ms. Marvel are also available on seatback screens. 


In 2025, Aer Lingus will fly to two new destinations – Indianapolis and Nashville – using its new Airbus 
A321 XLR aircraft, bringing the number of transatlantic routes operated by the airline from Dublin, Shannon 
and Manchester to 24. As always, customers flying from Ireland to the United States with Aer Lingus can 
enjoy US preclearance in Dublin and Shannon airports.
