I'm just back from a work trip to America. I flew with Aer Lingus to Chicago. The plane on the way over was dirty, smelly and old. The sink in the toilet I used was blocked right after take off. The paint on and around the toilet seat was cracked and flaking off. The soap dispenser didn't work and the paper towel dispenser on the wall was broken and open and by the end of the flight there was a carpet of wat urine covered paper towels on the floor.
As is usually the case with Aer Lingus within Europe they ran out of food. This time it was the hot meals on a long haul flight. Can they not count the number of passengers on the plane before they take off? The food they did have was really low quality.
The seat next to me was sticky with a black chewing gum type blob. It was the worst long haul flight I have taken in decades. I know that Aer Lingus is just British Airway's low cost subsidiary now but I don't think cleaning the plane is too much to ask.
The plane on the way back was the usual low standard Aer Lingus and while it was far from clean it wasn't smelly.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
