    7A is a crew rest area. Although I only saw cabin manager use it.

    So basically it's a business class seat with a curtain!!? I thought there would need to be more than just one available bed for crew rest? Can only one Pilot/crew member rest at a time then?
    I thought A330s had a crew rest under the floor ? I know A340s certainly do but I thought it would be the same?

    Yea they're on the 200s too but they're removed when not on LAX or SFO.This is a permanent one that's tidier.the crew rest underfloor are on LAX,DUO,DAA.the later 2 new A330 will have the removable underfloor area,FNG/FNH are structurally provisioned for it.

    EI-FNH possibly 28th

    The rest area at 7A is for flight deck crew (DUO actually has a dedicated Flight Deck Rest Area behind the Cockpit) - Used only on LAX/SFO. Cabin Crew rest area is located in a loadable LDMCR at Doors 3.

    I didn't notice much apart from the fact that it was a bit cleaner and had that new plane smell!

    EI-FNH due for delivery this coming Wednesday 28/09.

    EI2535 | TLS1630-1740DUB.

    Of course subject to change, no planned EIS in the system as of yet. Seems to be a bit of wiggle room for the next two weeks.

    Regarding that new Airbus (FNG)..... There is a chance we'll be on it in November flying to ORD.

    Is this model an improvement for passengers?
    Or does it disimprove things?
    (More seats crammed in etc)

    No indication anywhere online of any more seats onboard. EI/IAG statements never stated increase in cabin capacity.
    Feedback posted above is that seats are nicer and TV screens are better.

    As above C30 Y287 (T317) same as current spec A333's. Albeit nicer cabin in economy with updated IFE and interior, Business cabin to current spec.

    Yes us tbe answer.
    All 3 B757s refitted with new J class seats over last winter. Newest addition to the fleet (EI-CJX) was fitted out before entering service at start if summer.
    Agent may not have ever seen inside of a B757.

    Does anyone know what the story is with Aer Lingus and these A350s, are they still on order or were they scrapped? The only info I can find online is a year old. Thanks

    This thread should have your answer if you scroll back on the last few pages. But I wouldnt hold your breath looking for a 350 in the green!

    Current official line is that EI still have A350s on order with MSN 197 due for delivery in Q2 2018. This can be seen on the Airbus A350 production list and the Aer Lingus future fleet page (you can google both)

    IAG have their Capital Market Presentation in November. We expect some clarity then.
