Bassinet seating

Peckham

I'm flying with Aer Lingus to Boston next week and travelling with an infant. I rang looking to sort out bassinet seats and got an email from them with seats assigned as 29F/G on way out and 13F/G on way back. Took a look at seatguru and it gives two configurations for EI long-haul flights - one of which (A330-200) has 29F/G as pretty poor seats (in front of the toilets rather than behind them), and the other configuration (A330-300) has them two rows in front of the toilets - so neither of which are bassinet.

Anyone know which configuration is on flights to Boston (flying Friday 13th), and whehter the map on seatguru is accurate.

To be honest, if we don't get bassinet we'd rather switch to a window/aisle seat.

Update on this - Aer Lingus rang me back to say that 29 is a bassinet row, but 13 is not. However seatguru says differently - I thought seatguru was fairly accurate on these things?

I think Aer Lingus would know better

I think you'll find that EI are one of the best airlines to fly with young children. Hopefully your experience reflects this.

Personally I've had positive experiences with both EI and FR. Both very welcoming when allowing young children access the flight deck when leaving the aircraft. I remember one FR FO showing my eldest son the things that make the plane go zoom. I believe they don't normally cover this until several weeks into commercial pilot training.:D
