    I'm sick of all the Irish stereotypes. As soon as I finish this drink, I'm punching someone.

    I’ll be on an Aer Lingus flight from JFK to DUB overnight, starting on the 17th. I wonder whether they’ll do anything special, such as break out the Bushmill’s? I’ll report back.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    St. Patties Day is number 1 day.

    Parade for the children. Drinking for the adults. Lots of fun. :)

    My four year old ran in to our room at 630 to declare Happy St Patricks day at the top of her voice. Apparently I have to colour her hair green as she is in the local parade later with her preschool friends. Might leave that job to mom.

    A nice day lays ahead nonetheless

    Happy St Patricks Day people.

    We're not really celebrating Christianity, we're celebrating heavy drinking.

    Why would an English owned airline do anything specific for patty’s day?

    If we could just find something that he did on February 29th then that'd be easy.

    No. If we have access to the White House we might as well use it.

    There was more holiday cheer at JFK than on the flight itself - I think it was mentioned once. Now to get a Dublin Bus early on a Bank Holiday. Ummm .... :(

    It's not English owned.

    It is owned by IAG which is a European entity of which Aer Lingus is an Irish run and administered airline as part of the group which include Iberia and British Airways.

    Don't forget Vueling ;)



    IAG Registered office Madrid


    IAG Head Office London


    [Qatar Airways bought 9.99 per cent of IAG in January 2015.

    Its next biggest shareholder is Standard Life Investments, which has slightly more than 6 per cent of the group.

    US institution Europacific Growth fund is third with 5.26 per cent, while another US backer, Capital Research and Management, comes fourth with 5.05 per cent


    Factually owned by more than just "European Entity's" :rolleyes:
