Aer Lingus Vacation Store Recensioni 

My wife and I explored Ireland by booking through the Aer Lingus vacation store “Ireland by Rail”. The trip afforded us to visit Belfast, Dublin, Galway, and Limerick. Overall, the country of Ireland is incredibly beautiful and the people of Ireland so friendly. Included in this trip were airplanes tickets, rail ticket vouchers and hotel bookings in each of the cities.

The hotel in Dublin (The Merrion Hotel) was amazing. The staff there were exceptional. The hotel in Belfast (The Europa Hotel) was very nice and had a long and interesting history. It was conveniently located in Belfast. The hotels in Limerick and Galway were terrible. I would not stay at either of these again on a return trip to Ireland.

Getting around by train does afford you to see the Irish country side and relax from city to city. The only downside to traveling by train is that along the train tracks in a number of places there are overgrown trees and shrubs, which make viewing impossible. However, when you can see the views they are spectacular.

The reason we booked this type of trip was so we could control the pace. The train tickets were open for the day, so we could move along at a Pace we wanted (just need to know the train schedules - very important). The staff at all the train stations were very helpful. Getting from the train stations to the hotels could be easily done by walking, taxi, or city bus.

I think Aer Lingus could improve this trip package by offering passengers a few different hotel options in each city. This could impact the overall price depending on the hotel choices, but would have made this trip much better. One hotel we stayed at was listed as a 3-star and there was no way it was even a 2-star. The hotel was centrally located in the town we stayed, but the hotel facilities were really bad. It was next to all the restaurants and pubs, which upon arrival seemed great. However, at 3:30am when people were still coming out of the pubs - not in their best behavior or quietest voice - it was overwhelming.

Even though 2 of the hotels were quite poor, we had an amazing time. We explored many wonderful cities, kissed the Blarney Stone, saw incredibly scenery, and met wonderful people. We will definitely go back to Ireland and would take trains to many of the cities, and would be more selective about the hotels.

Hope this helps.

I have booked with Aer Lingus Vacation Store many times to Ireland and have been more than pleased with everything that they offer...the voucher system that they use works great and the services that they have , simply is terrific !! No hesitation on a five star rating...

We were absolutely delighted with our trip. Everything worked out just as planned. The only reason I did not give it 5 Stars was that most of the B&B options were somewhat off the beaten path--not terribly convenient to the major stops. However, "off the beaten path" led us to some wonderful discoveries!

Booking and printing the vouchers was easy. Both Aer Lingus flights were HORRIBLE in regard, for example, to leg room, space between rows, the entertainment systems not working on both flights, more disgusting than usual food, and some of the flight attendants on the Boston to Dublin flight. Generally, the hotels were above average. What determined our rating of two, rather than four, stars, however, is the extra charge that Aer Lingus Vacation Store (Store) imposed on us for Guinness/beer at the Brooks Hotel, for which we have no use, since we do not drink alcohol. A glass of pineapple juice for each of us, in place of the Guinness/beer cost much less than the extra charge. We want the extra charge refunded, despite a Store rep telling us that it is mandatory. Since when is charging nondrinkers for alcoholic beverages mandatory????

Fabulous vacation, start to finish. Excellent service starting with Fred at Aer Lingus Vacations, the friendly Aer Lingus staff at the airport and in-flight, Dan Doolin and our wonderful B&B hosts throughout. 12 days wasn't enough. Already planning our next trip.

Experience overall was good, I would have liked a better quality hotel in Dublin.

all the vouchers worked as expected and all the vendors were good quality.

Love the packages.
Love the prices.
Love the people when I call.
Hate it when I click on a date that says it is available, then wait and wait and am told the package is not available on that date.

Easy to work with, great trip.

Have used Aer Lingus Vacation Store several times with excellent experiences. This time I found out 2 weeks before departure that the trip was actually run by Cosmos Tours. If I had known that 8 months earlier when I booked the tour, I could have avoided a couple of problems. Also, the first 2 days of the tour had nothing planned except optional excursions at additional cost. From now on, no more escorted tours for us, just self-drive or city tours with our own itinerary.

I have used Aer Lingus at least 5 times and every single time they did not disappoint. Whether it is the flight, the car or hotel accommodations, Aer Lingus delivers.

Aer Lingus good value. Flew CHS to SNN via JFK. Code share with Jet Blue was great! One continuous flight. If Aer Lingus continues to fly 757s they need cabin updating and addition of WIFI!

Easy trip, enjoyable flight. Extra fee for exit row well worth the money. Also on the return clearing US customs at Shannon made the transfer at JFK much easier.

Western Ireland fantastic quaint villages, castles and the Cliffs of Moher! B&B experience was very nice and meeting other travelers added to the trip. Meeting the hosts of the B&Bs also help us get to know the people of Ireland.

Loved every minute of trip.

Dooley's did not have a car for me. The one they were going to give me was in an accident. No one noticed until I asked why the tire light was on in the car. By the time they found a car for me it was rush hour.
When I tried to print the itinerary the only thing that printed was the prepopulated areas. The details of my trip did not print.

From booking our trip to our arrival and stay in Ireland was easy and fun. Everything was easy and just the way we had planned it. Thank you for your help and perfect planning and execution. It could not have gone any better! We will be back!

Wonderful trip to Ireland. Flight, Hotels and food were wonderful !!!!!

flight was on time. Staff was wonderful during the flight. Our B&B experience was great as well. We stayed at three different locations and all were spotlessly clean and breakfast was as described. The car rental from Dooley Rental was fine as well. We are planning on returning to Ireland as a result of this initial trip!

Have flown on Are Lingus for many years. I am always satisfied with the flight and the staff. The problems I have encountered, though not small, were very few, and settled to my satisfaction. I particularly like the Are Lingus Vacation store. Great value. Will continue to use them.

Easy to deal with. Offer good values.

Wonderful, seemless experience!
