EI A321's

kub

Am I right in thinking that Aer Lingus have/ had 3 of these aircraft?
Do they still have them? Just wondering because the only EI planes which seem to be around these days are A330's, A320's and A319's.

Returned back to Dub on the late flight from BRU on one of the 321's. I'd imagine it's rotated around routes depending on loads,the ex-BRU flight for example being full of business people and politicians being in Brussels on EU business.

As far as we were told at work............The booking engine has been tweaked so that a standard A320 with 174 seats is loaded as the default aircraft. When demand exceeds this and an A321 is available then more seats become available - up to 212. Hence the A321s which were typically only seen on routes such as LHR and sunnier climes can now appear anywhere on the network.

They are frequently on the DUB - NCE route during the summer anyway. Had the pleasure of going down and back a couple of times on them. For an older aircraft they are in incredibly good nick interior wise. Don't know if they are just very much looked after of they got new interiors recently at some point ? Booked the emergency exit row as a treat for me and the other half, 10a ? Very comfortable flight.

Flew on them to London and Paris a few years ago. Love the A321. Very nice aircraft.

Only time I've been on one since the end of Premium to LHR (not that I was in that bit of the plane much...) was on a day when there was a flight cancellation at BHX and they managed to fit the clearly very low loads from it and the next flight on to one A321.
