Hello I realise this is not the relevant department but this is the only contact email I can find for Aer Lingus I filled in the post travel enquiry form and submitted it 3 times but got no information that it had sent so can you please forward this email for me to the relevant department and can you please acknowledge receipt of this.
Thank you in advance.
Hello my booking reference is 2JCHAN I wish to complain strongly about our special assistance treatment on our recent holiday, firstly we waited over an hour at the special assistance desk at malaga airport and only got assistance 15minutes before boarding while people who arrived much later were given privilege because they were late so it penalised us because we were at the desk at the requested time, then when we arrived at Dublin Airport we had to wait a full hour after all the passengers had disembarked because our wheelchair was in a bin , why were we penalised like this for being on time for check in and for having the misfortune to be wheelchair bound, surely wheelchairs should have preference at unloading from bins before luggage and if not they should have preference , the Aer lingus staff on the flight were horrified at the delay caused to us and could not have been nicer but the fault was not theirs it was with the system or lack of system that is in place put there by Aer Lingus, we are due to fly again on the 6th September 2018 and I want to take steps to ensure this humiliating experience does not happen to us or anybody else for that matter again, I would like Aer lingus to implement a system whereby wheelchairs are unloaded first from the Aircraft and train the staff to do this please , it is not an unreasonable request in my opinion it should just be a matter of impressing on the loading staff that wheelchairs/mobility aids have preferential treatment
Kind Regards
Trying to get a person on the phone to report a lost baggage is is terrible and using their website to document it is impossible.
Aer Lingus (or some baggage group representing them lost my golf clubs for 3 days (of the 8 days) and ruined my Scottish golf experience, including the old course. I am trying to give them the costs I would like to recover( 475 Pds
I do not think they give a damn about customer service. I have been on
hold for 10 minutes and counting.
I want someone to contact me.
My experience with Aer Lingus is limited to a degrading treatment of all passengers. We were held out for a long time with false information and lied to and let down in the end.
The flight on February 28 from Hamburg to Dublin was repeatedly postponed. And in the end, there was an Aer Lingus announcement from the airport that the flight was canceled. That until 14:35 the flight was shown as running and the staff in Hamburg said the flight is on the way we were lied to. At least at 12:00 AM, Aer Lingus knew that they would not fly even though they could fly. Various passengers with destinations in the US are stranded in Hamburg, because alternative flights were not available at the time. If Aer Lingus had informed earlier, there would have been few possibilities.
The Aer Lingus employees were probably afraid of the passengers, all of whom were very angry? Better just not show up and leave the customers alone? Is this typical of Aer Lingus? That’s how it looks like. No one felt compelled by Aer Lingus to help the passengers. A very shameful treatment.
The alleged reason that the Dublin airport closed due to bad weather turned out to be a lie. My connecting flight to New York has taken place. So late that my feeder flight would have been timely. It may have been bad weather in Dublin, but the airport there has not officially stopped operations, but has given up on their website that the flight operations can be performed.
In clear words. Even the hotlines in Dublin and Germany lied to us, the customers. Allegedly, the Dublin airport was closed, so no flight has taken place. That was a lie, of course. It is even possible to read on the website of the airport the contrary and flights to the USA took place, of course, only feeder flights not. This is not a weather-related disruption of the flight, but a deliberate act.
I lost 15 hours for nothing because of this flight failure and had to drive home with overcrowded trains. Other passengers did not have so much “luck” because they were stranded in Hamburg. Without accommodation and possibilities.
Oh and only on the edge. Due to this wanted but completely unnecessary flight failure I now have extra costs of around 500 euros. I sent a complaint to Aer Lingus and asked for compensation, but so far no answer has been received. That is shameful.
My claim is according to Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and Council of 11 February 2004 and I am entitled to a compensation of up to 600 Euro plus the refund of the fare. I think I will not get that because I can not get an answer from Aer Lingus. This is not how you treat customers.
I will never book a flight back to Aer Lingus because I do not like being so derogatory and being lied to.
I have written to your guest service email address 4 times with a simple request: to add my Frequent Flyer number (United Airlines FRE83946) to my flights [booking reference 2B44G6}. I have never received the courtesy of a reply.
I have tried numerous times to change my arbitrarily assigned business class seats and have been told that although Aer Lingus gladly accepted my payment, they will not talk to me about seats or other details of my flights. This is a new experience for me in 40+ years of business class flying.
Please advise on both issues. Thank you. Documentation below.
——————————————————————-
It is now more than two weeks since I sent a request to have my frequent flyer account (United Airlines FRE83946) included on these flights. [booking reference 2B44G6]
What do I have to do to get this simple modification of my ticket? Thanks,

As I wrote previously:
I would like to add my frequent flyer information — United Airlines FRE83946 — to my Aer Lingus flights beginning with #136 on May 7.
I have tried 5 times to add my and my wife’s passport information on your website and each time have been told that your system cannot accept the information.
I would like to change my arbitrarily assigned seats to further forward (not in the last row).
Thank you for your attention,

Let’s see if this will work. I have tried so many web sites…!! I wish to complain very strongly about the utter mayhem in Terminal 2 on the morning of December 29th…We tried 3 self-check in bornes….all out of order. Finally, I found a very frustrated, but , polite employee, who said that he had been pleading for extra staff since weeks . He was helpful, but overwhelmed by the enormity of the situation. We saw, in all. 3 Aer Lingus staff. My nephew, checking in for New York at the same time, with a sick baby, spent an hour and a half at check-in…. This is disgraceful behavior on the part of Aer Lingus. I am ashamed for our national airline. I am absolutely certain that I am not alone in complaining about this situation.
Dear contact at Aer Lingus
I’m a sociology professor who just used your excellent services flying from the UK to Boston and Back through Dublin. I’m writing to describe a terrible experience that I had on my way back once the air craft landed in Gatwick.
I landed in Gatwick with flight number BA5900 or E1230
from Dublin to Gatwick which left Dublin at 0720 and landed around
half past 8 am.
My seat was 10C. That is important reflecting that I was in the middle of the plain not first or last.
Taking the staircase leading from the aircraft I encountered for the first time of my life a man shouting – directing passengers to a different bus than the one standing right at the bottom of the stairs.
His accent difficult for me to understand and the only word I heard was Atlantic.
As I didn’t think Atlantic had anything to do with me (my destination was Gatwick) I went on the bus standing directly at the bottom of the aircraft stairs. There wasn’t any sign or any clue there that something may be wrong with this bus.
Nobody asked me why do I take it
Nobody asked me where do I go or any other question.
In fact there wasn’t anyone in charge there while many other passengers filled it up.
All this seemed to me completely normal as this has always been my routine: getting off an aircraft and taking a bus that stands at its bottom.
In other words there wasn’t anything exceptional that could even remotely suggests that something is wrong.
After a short while the bus began its ride.
Its ride was exceptionally long but still I had no reason to believe that anything is wrong.
I got off the bus and followed the signs to baggage claim.
I believed that all the others were doing the same. I was surrounded by many at all stages.
However, what I didn’t realize was that I was taken to Gatwick north terminal. I joined the passport control line for non EU passport holders as I always do still believing all is OK although beginning to suspect that something is wrong as I went through passport control already in Dublin.
The line was particularly long there – I believe it went on for well over an hour which I lost for no reason. Because of the long time, I expected to no longer see anyone from my flight. I kept following the signs for baggage claim and once arriving to the baggage claim hall found out that the screen doesn’t show my flight.
Here begins the event:
I turned to a man there who immediately asked for my boarding pass and was shocked I was there. He made it very clear he is shocked.
He took me to a window near by where another men was shocked and made a phone call.
Just later did I realize that he called security!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
During the wait he stood near me – both men stood from both my sides as if I’m just about to run away(!)
It took a while before a security woman arrived.
(Before we separated later on she identified herself to me as
Wendy Thomas, Security Team leader, North Terminal)
She asked me endless questions. Repeating the same questions again and again.
Please be reminded that I was a 57 years old woman after a non-sleep night
very tired, exhausted who wanted to get back to my commitments.
A short while afterwords the security superior of Wendy Thomas arrived and began talking very badly to me as if I did anything wrong. She was surprised I wanted them to give me back my passport and take me back to my luggage. Instead of doing that, she repeated again and again the same questions as if I was a terror suspect. At one point she even threatened to call the police – a development I really would want to have happened as I felt someone has to protect me.
After a long while – over an hour – Wendy Thomas took me to a bus which took me back, I found my luggage and left the airport traumatized and upset. Not understanding how could any of that have happened and what is it that I’ve done wrong. Even now, after all their effort to clarify that, I don’t know what went wrong and what is the mistake I made.
My complaint to you is that in such a situation of multiple choices at the bottom of the aircraft staircase there should be a person asking passengers what is their destination and directing them accordingly. As you haven’t made sure that there would be anyone to ensure that I get to the right terminal you are responsible not just for my huge time loss but more so for my trauma and confusion afterwords.
I cried a lot since and I’m still upset primarily because of not understanding what did I do wrong.
I expect you to take responsibility for this terrible incident.
Our flight form DUB to BDl was cancelled on 11/20/16 confirmation #2cmv4n . We were notified and called in to see what we should do the Are Lingus rep that we spoke to gave us an alternative we could fly to JFK or to Boston or wait a day then fly to BDL . JFK was out because i would have to have had some one drive from where we live to pick us up and that would have been a 7 hr round trip drive never mind the wait at the air port . We could not stay another night because of budget restraints. So we chose Boston and started calling to find some one who could drive the 2 1/2 to pick us up and bring us home. On the flight we found out from other passengers that we could have stayed one more night and Are Lingus would have put us up.Then we could have flown into BDL the next day, that would have been perfect. We were never told that Are Lingus would get us from Boston to BDL. No one offered us any of these options,not the rep we talked to on the phone there was no announcement on the plain that people from the BDL flight would be ferried from Boston. WE ALONG WITH OTHE PASSENGERS FOUND THIS OUT FROM OTHER PASSENGERS ON THE FLIGHT . So we got off the plane in Boston called our ride who was still an hour away and took the taxi ride Are Lingus offered us. MISTAKE…. WE were jammed into a taxi 4 of us no room for 8 bags no leg room no place to move for 2 1/2 hours . WE are Appalled at the way Are Lingus treated us . We hope this is not the norm . thank you
I have tried to change flights on line but it wont let me. Living in Singapore so rang Australia office. They cant help but advised I need the Irish desk. This is a great way to stop any contacts as one has the pay for the priviledge! Surely Aer Lingus you can do better than this. This is a cynical way to manage any dissatisified customers or customers with queries ensuring there is no easy way to find an on line contact.
Hi Aer Lingus Customer Care
I have sent a long letter to you in July and in Sept received a case number Case Reference: 327326
I have sent about 3 follow ups in the 2 months that have passed with no reply whatsoever
I am very disappointed with this customer service and would appreciate if you could reply at your earliest convenience
Mary
I found it rather unusual that the Air Lingus customer support agent told me that Air Lingus does not have a mechanism to provide immediate confirmation of having received notification from a customer of the cancellation of a flight. The lack of doing so places your customers in limbo — indeed jeopardy — should the airline fail to find or otherwise properly marshal such records. MSB.
I have flown from the U.S. to England on 4 occasions flying 4 different airlines. My latest journey was flying on Aer Lingus from Orlando, Fl. USA to Birmingham, England on December 20th, 2014. When I first purchased my ticket in August, 2014, I chose what I thought would be an excellent seat. I am 6’4″ and 300 lbs. My 3 previous journeys were flying on American, Air Canada, and British Airways and my seats were nery comfortable. This, however, was not the case with my Aer Lingus flight. From the very first moment I sat down, I was under severe discomfort. Though I had much more than enough legroom, I could not get my bottom all the way back in the seat because it was much too narrow. I had severe discomfort for the remaining 8 hours of flight and repeatedly attempted to find a comfortable position but even with the most comfortable position of angling by backside so only 1/2 of it was making contact with the seat, I WAS IN PAIN! (my 1 hour flight from Dublin to Birmingham was verfy comfortable because it was a different model plane) In any event I will not subject my body to that pain for my return flight on 1/10/2015. If I need to fly on a different airline back to Orlando, I will do so although I would hate to spend over $600 to do so. I would ask that Aer Lingus would upgrade my ticket to a better seat that would not be painful. If I need to spent an additional several hundred dollars, I will regretfully do so. I ask that you would help make my return journey mush more pleasant.
I am just wondering if you accept citizen cards for people travelling from Dublin to london heathrow? I am not having my passport with me right now. Is citizencard id enough?
please ring up the customer support and enquire the same..
Could someone please email me a contact address for complaints department in Dublin and England. No I do not want a telephone no. I have already written a letter. Thank you.
So can’t help as I’m also looking for the the same. Can anyone help? Thanks you.
