Aer Lingus Business Class, Up to 4 Seats

Although I just sent Aer Lingus space three weeks ago, I wanted to flag that you can now use American miles to book! If you’re looking for a trip to Europe in the next few months, you can find business class space for up to four people on a bunch of routes - including some less common departure airports such as Cleveland and Hartford.

If you haven’t already, sign up for daily hotel promos on our sister site Straight To The Perks. Each day, I share a different hotel offering a promo such as 3rd/4th night free or guaranteed upgrades!

Now, let’s get into it!

Let me know if you book!

Flight Experience

Aer Lingus’ Airbus A330 business class cabin is arranged in a 1-2-1/1-2-2 staggered layout. The throne seats provide the most space and storage. On the A321neo and A321XLR, you’ll find a 1-1/2-2 cabin layout similar to the older JetBlue Mint product. While only some seats will have direct aisle access, you’ll be guaranteed a lie-flat seat.

While the experience won't blow you away if you've flown some of the nicer business class products out there, this is still a solid way to fly to Europe.
