Aer Lingus In Flight Entertainment\Route assignments

Hi,

Thanks,

Sorry i should have been slightly more specific!

I am flying Dublin-Orlando on Thursday 27th August.

OK my friends, this is a new thread for the following stuff only please:

• Questions about which Aer Lingus aircraft are operating a route
• Questions about Aer Lingus in flight entertainment systems

I'd like nothing else in here please to keep it tidy.

If the posters that know what aircraft are on what route on what day come and answer your question fair enough, but its not going to be a sticky and in any way officially endorsed by anyone, especially Aer Lingus or Boards.ie.

There are no guarantee here that anything is factual and all data is provided without any promise of accuracy.

Don't get upset with someone here if you turn up for the fight and its a different aircraft or its cabin is different.

Any other discussion should be done in a new thread about the topic. Repeat offences equals infraction, then ban.

Happy posting.

:cool:

LindaR

Excellent idea . This could be a full time job for those with the knowledge!
Thanks in advance.

Might be of interest to the people posting here.


will be aware of the recently completed A330 retrofit programme where new seats, and a new in-flight entertainment system (IFE), were installed in most of our long-haul aircraft. Currently 7 out of 9 aircraft are operating in the new layout – two older A330’s are not being retrofitted, as they are due to leave the fleet in the coming months. This is a significant investment in our business class product and is in response to customer and staff feedback, in addition to benchmarking against other airlines. It also places Aer Lingus in an advantageous position when compared to our direct competitors to and from Ireland.

New seats:

The older generation recliner seats have been replaced with angled lie-flat Sleeper Seats. The distance between seats has been increased by 10% and now stands at 57”. Passengers can recline to many positions, right up to full flat (167o angle), which permits a more comfortable and natural sleep. This is complemented by the addition of a duvet, which is replacing the wool blanket. All seat are equipped with power points, which allow passengers to use their laptops during flight. All that is needed for European passengers is a US adaptor.

New In-Flight Entertainment System:

The new IFE is an on-demand system. This enables us to present a wide choice of entertainment, which is fully controlled by the passenger and viewed on new larger personal TV screens. We now have more content and choice than ever before:

• 36 movies (18 in each direction to/from Ireland)

• Over 60 hours of TV programmes from comedy to serious drama

• Dozens of music videos

• The ability to create a personal play list from thousands of MP3 tracks

• 30 interactive games.

Promoting our Improved Business Class Product:

Promotion of the enhanced Business Class product will be through an advertising campaign in the business press, the travel trade and via corporate accounts over the coming weeks. We have already communicated with our frequent flyer members, through their Gold Circle statements. The central message for the advertisements is that travelling in our new seats will allow passengers arrive better rested, fully recharged and ready for business.

Does anyone know which aircraft will operate EI 146 from SFO-DUB on Friday June 26? Thanks

buzzard

My teenage daugther went to JFK yesterday and when I spoke to her last night all I heard about was her personal TV and choice of films so the new system must be good to keep her quiet for 7+ hrs.:rolleyes:

What AVOD system is on the A330's? Panasonic, Rockwell Collins, Thales?

The system BA Engineering wanted for any new aircraft on order but the BA bean counters bought the Thales system.

EI to LA

On the "Movies for July" section of the website, flights from LA are mentioned with SF...

Some new news for EI Customers?

Had the AVOD on St Munchen coming to Boston earlier in the week....brilliant thing altogether.

You were spot-on. Lovely aircraft. Great entertainment system, though they played the same content as the outward journey which made it slightly useless. They're supposed to rotate the content when coming back.

EI-JFK planned at the moment

LindaR

Amazing on the one transatlantic route that is covering its costs,dub/mco, Aer Lingus consistently run the ac with worst facilities.
Obviously attempting to lure the business passenger but shows contempt for the faithful holiday traveller.
Any idea on when the 2 older aircraft will be off the fleet? Travelling 12/09

interesting. where does that data come from and what does all the other stuff mean? particularly 'message content'?

ACARS messages are transmitted by the crew or automatically to either dispatch, operations, atc or maintanence. They are transmitted over a radio frequency as data. If you listen, all you will hear is a data noise, but people have scanners tuned to these frequencies and upload them to acarsd. Hence, the data for you to search

The message content is interesting- sometimes you will find interesting messages, have a look around there are some "gems"!

EI-A330

another good web site for checking out aircraft flight records is , www.libhomeradar.org go to the database section and type in any of aerlingus fleet reg numbers and it will give you all there past flight details.

Am flying Dub-Bos in a couple of weeks and have managed to snaffle an upgrade to premier - can someone please tell me the regs. of the 2 330s which have not been upgraded to lie-flat seating - so i can do the war-dance beforehand to stave off being put in either of those planes!!

EI-A330

Hi
I'm travelling to orlando direct from Dublin on the 12th September with my family can anyone tell me which plane will be used and if it has the updated entertainment system in economy.

LindaR

Read on this site, from someone who knows, that the transatlantics are only allocated 3/4 days in advance so perhaps a bit early for a september flight

jooemac

thanks it seems we are on the same flight

DUBACC

Hi,

Travelling on EI584 to Malaga on 13th August and back on EI585 on 24th August. Any idea which one we'll be on?

Thanks.

Fabio

Had the On Demand IFE going to Boston in late June and back from New York in late July...it is the berries.

There's a great selection of movies, games, tv shows and the quality is very very good.

The SFO route is always operated by a A330-200. All of which are upgraded to the new AVOD system.

Press release today that EI have rejigged their delivery schedule with another A330 next April. And 2 older aircraft going in October and next March resepctively.

Hi, new member here.
I have been reading all of these posts with a lot of interest and am AMAZED at the knowledge of everyone.
So maybe you can help me.
We will be flying with Aer Lingus premier class next Tues (Aug 18th) to JFK - first time with Aer Lingus.

Can anyone tell me what type of aircraft it will be (in connection with the type of seat) and the inflight entertainment?
I found a website - somewhere - that also showed the premier class movies but can no longer find it.
Thanks for any trouble taken.

notuslimited

Probably a bit early yet but does anyone know what aircraft is down for the EI105 on 19 Sept and EI104 on 25 Sept.

Thanks.

Just for infos, EI-JFK operated its last service EIN11C KJFK-EINN yesterday before return to lessor.

This is probably due to some kind of language barrier but I have no idea what this means.
What does 'EIN11C KJFK-EINN before return to lessor mean'?

Foggy43

EI-JFK is the registration of an Aer Lingus A330.
EIN11C is a flight number. The last letter C = flown as Cargo/no cabin crew.
EIN and EI = Aer Lingus
KJFK is the ICAO code for JFK airport
EINN is the ICAO code for SNN or Shannon
Lessor is the actual aircraft owner and as EI-JFK has flown is last commercial sector for Aer Lingus (EIN) it will next fly to it owners location.
