CARRY ON BAGGAGE UPDATE

New carry-on cabin baggage dimensions will be implemented from Monday 12th April 2010. All Boarding Cards, Airport Signage, Baggage Gauges and the aerlingus.com website will be updated to reflect this change as follows:
New dimensions are as follows (illustrated below):
Aer Lingus 55cm x 40cm x 20 cm (or 22 x 16 x 8)
Aer Lingus Regional 43cm x 28cm x 20 cm (or 17 x 11 x 8)

10kg remains the cabin baggage weight allowance on Aer Lingus flights.
7kg is the cabin baggage weight allowance on Aer Lingus Regional flights.
All cabin baggage must be small enough to fit in overhead bins or under the seat
One additional small personal item is permitted (eg. camera, personal stereo, overcoat, handbag)
EU security rules regarding liquids, gels and aerosols in cabin baggage apply
Please see www.aerlingus.com for full list of baggage fees and terms & conditions.
 
What exactly do they mean by a "Regional Flight"? Is that flights within a country or to nearby countries for example Dublin to London
 
Note the subtle hint in the capitalization: It says "Aer Lingus Regional flights," not "Aer Lingus regional flights." So we are not talking about regional flights with Aer Lingus here... it is all flights by Aer Lingus Regional which is different from Aer Lingus proper.

Aer Lingus Regional is a cooperation between Aer Lingus and Aer Arann.

They use smaller planes and hence allow less carry-on luggage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aer_Lingus_Regional
