[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Economy class - which would you choose?  Traveling with whole family.

I worry with aer lingus if there is a problem its a smaller airline and wont have a plane to sub in. But I think they have an expedited customs arrangement which could be useful.
But united might be better able to handle any need to rebook if there is a weather cancellation etc.

Any inputs?[/quote]

I've flown Aer Lingus for 2 roundtrips this year. Mostly bc it was the cheapest out of Dulles.
We had a situation where a storm came thru Dulles while I was sitting at the gate (I despise August travel but I digress) and the incoming flight was diverted to Philly where the crew timed out. Rescheduled for 24 hours later on Lufthansa and a connection in Heathrow instead of direct to Dublin. There are no backup planes.

That being said I just flew them in December on a connection- same flight actually to Dublin, and all was good and all was good coming home. Coming home out plane was only 3 days old and was actually quite nice. I find the food disgusting but...I would say if it's August think twice. Otherwise, I would probably do it again. The August prior I had a similar situation and American was able to move planes around from Dulles to DCA and we got a plane to fly (late but still had a plane).[/quote]
