Need to Know: Flying Aer Lingus with a Baby or Toddler

Will you be flying Aer Lingus with a baby or toddler? Or are you still on the fence deciding between Aer Lingus and another airline for your family’s upcoming travels? This is the

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! I’m kicking off a new series here I hope will be quite helpful to those of you planning to fly with an infant, baby, or toddler.

I’m tagging these posts with NTK, short for “Need to Know,” as this is where I’ll share some of the important details parents flying these airlines with young children—and possibly car seats, bassinets, strollers and extra truck—should know in advance, and in some cases may never have guessed on their own. 😉

Here are some things you should know before flying Aer Lingus with a baby or toddler (or young children):

THE UPSIDE OF FLYING AER LINGUS WITH A BABY OR YOUNG CHILD:

On long-haul flights, Aer Lingus offers family-friendly amenities and conveniences, including free airplane bassinets (sky cots) for overseas travel, child meals by request on flights to/from the USA and Ireland, and even grants a FREE lap child checked luggage allowance of up to 22 lbs. (10 kg.), plus one diaper bag and a compactly folding stroller.

Aer Lingus flight crew members will also heat bottles or baby food for you. However, there are some important differences from other airlines you should know before booking.

FLYING AER LINGUS WITH AN INFANT?

Infants on Laps: If you’re planning to fly Aer Lingus with an infant, be warned that they do NOT allow children younger than 6 months to ride in their own seats, whether you pay for the seat or not.

You will be provided with a (mandatory) lap child safety belt (AKA belly belt or loop belt ) that attaches to your safety belt for your lap-held infant less than 6 months.

From 6 months up to 2 years, your baby can still ride on your lap with the airline’s loop belt (or “infant belt). Note: If your child turns 2 years before the return flight, a child’s ticket for his own seat must be purchased.

Pricing for a lap infant or toddler on Aer Lingus flights is:

European routes – Flat rate of €25/£25 each way or equivalent (excluding taxes and charges where applicable)
Ireland – North American routes – 10% of the adult ticket price

Bassinets are available on overseas flights with Aer Lingus, BUT they must be reserved in advance and are available on a first come, first served basis. (See Five Things You Should Know Before Flying with an Airline Bassinet for tips.)

Alternatively, you can reserve an extra “comfort seat” (additional airplane seat) for your infant to use during the flight for the discounted child fare. Call Aer Lingus to request adding this seat to your booking. Be sure to see the next section if you’re thinking of using a car seat on Aer Lingus.

PLANNING TO USE A CAR SEAT ON AER LINGUS? READ THIS FIRST!

Aer Lingus has some very strict and unusual car seat rules. Suffice to say, it’s complicated! Here’s what you should know:

For Aer Lingus regional flights (operated by Emerald Air), NO CAR SEATS are allowed on these flights .

For all other Aer Lingus flights: Only children 6 months up to 36 months (3rd birthday) are allowed to fly in car seats. However, the car seat must be forward-facing with a 5-point harness. Aer Lingus does not allow car seats to be installed rear-facing on its aircraft.

A child discount is available for kids 2 years up to 11 years on transatlantic / overseas flights with Aer Lingus. You should see the applicable discount applied while booking online.

Aer Lingus flying with babies

Is there a minimum age for acceptance of infants on aer lingus flights.

Aer Lingus doesn’t have a restriction on a minimum age that the infant should be, however, the airline does recommend that you clear with your doctor that it is okay to travel up to the age of 2 weeks . A medical clearance will be required for infants born prematurely to fly up to the age of 6 months (in addition to the number of days that they were born prematurely).

When is it necessary to purchase a ticket and reserve a seat for my baby?

Children between 2 and 11 years old must travel in their own seat . If the infant reaches the age of 2 years, the baby must pay the applicable fare, taxes, charges and fees for that part of the journey.

For infants, Aer Lingus has strict rules regarding how a baby can travel , on an adult’s lap or in a separate seat. Passengers may purchase a seat for the infant, with the following restrictions:

You are not allowed to reserve a separate seat for an infant under 6 months .
Infants up to 2 years of age can only travel on the adult’s lap , never in a baby/car seat, on Aer Lingus Regional flights (only the AMSAFE CARES harness may be used for securing children aged 2 years and over and children with disabilities).

One adult cannot be responsible for three or more infants. Where one adult is traveling with two infants, one of them must be over 6 months old and seated in a car type safety seat. If both infants are under 6 months, they must be accompanied by two adults. Infants are not allowed to occupy exit rows or the rows immediately before or after an emergency exit row.

Regulations for infants on Aer Lingus flights (do not apply to Aer Lingus Regional flights)

Infants (0-5 month):

If the infant is under 6 months, the child must sit on the adult’s lap and will be charged a flat rate of €25/£25 or equivalent per one way flight on short-haul routes , and 10% of the adult fare on flights from/to North America .
You can make a booking for your unborn infant using the infant’s surname and ‘Baby’ (to be advised) as the ‘First name’, and there will be no charge when changing the name to the correct infant’s name after the birth.

Infants (6-24 months):

An infant between 6 months and 2 years may sit on the adult’s lap and will be charged a flat rate of €25/£25 or equivalent per one way flight on all short-haul routes , and 10% of the adult fare on flights to/from North America .
Passengers may purchase a seat for the infant at the appropriate fare where the infant can sit in an approved forward facing car seat provided by the passenger . The car seat must be secured on the aircraft seat by the normal aircraft lap strap. Aer Lingus does not allow rearward facing car seats.
For the car seat to fit into the aircraft seat, please ensure the seat width does not exceed 17 inches (43 cm) .
Car type safety seats may be used by children between 6 months and 3 years of age (in order to accommodate a child aged 3 years or older in a car seat, the child must be within the size and weight limits for that seat, and special IAA approval is required).

Regulations for infants on Aer Lingus Regional (Flight Nº 3000-4000 operated by Stobart Air)

Infants up to the age of 2 years may travel provided that they sit on an adult’s lap (one infant per adult), and a fee is charged per sector .
Baby car seats are not allowed in the cabin of the aircraft.
Aer Lingus can carry a maximum of 8 infants on board the aircraft for each flight .

Infant Baggage Allowance

All infant cabin baggage must be included in the accompanying adult’s baggage allowance . The “Carry-on bag with priority boarding” is included for the accompanying adult traveling with an infant, which means that the drop-off option is not available, and you must t ake both your carry-on bag and the personal item on board with you .

For an infant booking, a fully collapsible pushchair or stroller plus one of the following items – car seat, travel cot, or booster seat – are allowed free of charge as checked baggage . The stroller or pushchair is checked in with the baggage and can be handed down at the gate if required.

As for checked baggage, the checked baggage allowance for infants depends on the route:

European flights – no checked baggage allowance.
Transatlantic flights – a 10 kg (22 lbs) checked baggage allowance included in your booking.

Infant Amenities

Baby changing facilities are available on all Aer Lingus aircraft. Please ask cabin crew members for locations.
The cabin crew onboard will heat baby food and bottles for babies and small children.
The use of a bassinet is subject to availability on Aer Lingus flights to/from North America and requires bassinet seats for use.
Bassinet seats for long-haul flights are subject to availability. Passengers may instead opt for increased comfort by purchasing a dedicated seat for the infant at the child rate. Remember that infants with confirmed seats would not be able to also request bassinet seating.
Infant seat belts are available on board for babies under the age of 2 years.

Aer Lingus offers a discount for children between the ages of 2 and 11 traveling on Transatlantic flights . If an infant is older than two years old for any part of the journey, adults must purchase a seat or alternatively make two separate bookings; one for the outbound and one for the return. Remember that cabin and checked baggage allowances for children aged 2-12 are the same as for adults. For a child booking, a fully collapsible pushchair or stroller plus one of the following items – car seat, travel cot, or booster seat – are allowed free of charge as checked baggage .

Children Amenities offered on Aer Lingus Transatlantic Flights

Flying with a baby? Rules for Ryanair and Aer Lingus and other travel restrictions

What to pack, the age restrictions for flying and other handy tips to make flying with children less stressful than it needs to be

As coronavirus vaccines are being rolled out and countries are opening, it's time to start thinking about getting away for a holiday and for many people, travelling to see loved ones overseas.

As an adult, it's generally quite easy to book that flight, pack your bag and sit and relax.

What happens when a baby is now joining you on these trips? What do you need to know?

We've pulled together a handy guide to help make that experience less stressful.

If you're pregnant and want to book a flight for you and baby ahead of time, can I do that?

Yes. Aer Lingus and Ryanair both allow this and the name can be changed free of charge ahead of your flight, so there is no need to stress at the time of booking, just remember to change their name.

What age can my baby travel at?

This is an interesting one, as Aer Lingus states it doesn't "have a restriction on a minimum age that the infant should be, however we do recommend that you clear with your doctor that it's okay for an infant up to the age of two weeks to travel".

Ryanair on the other hand states "infants aged seven days and under cannot be accepted for travel on Ryanair flights".

So it is best to check with your individual airline ahead of booking your flight.

Can I travel with two kids under two alone?

Aer Lingus permits you to travel with two children aged under two, providing one of the infants is over six months old "and accommodated in a car type safety seat" and must be certified, whereas Ryanair only permits one infant per adult, so that's a child up to the age of two.

What can I bring with me?

Baggage allowance: Without a seat booking for your infant, their allowance is included in your allowance, so that means no extra on both Aer Lingus and Ryanair - but with Ryanair you're allowed a baby changing bag.

You are able to bring your stroller per infant/child and one of the following: "Car seat, booster seat or travel cot".

We spoke with Aoife Lee, from ParentSupport.ie, to get her top tips for flying with a baby as a parent, and as a parenting expert.

Aisle seats

Although most airlines allow families to board first, it’s a good idea to pre-book aisle seats, mostly for easy access to allow small children move around during the flight and take trips to the toilet or for the parent or carer to walk with a small baby if needed.

Feeding during take-off and landing

Whether you bottle or breastfeed, allowing your child to feed on take-off and landing is a very comforting way to help their ears pop or adjust to the change in air pressure. For older children, you might like to have a supply of chewing sweets or a lollipop or sports cap bottle, the sucking effect which will help relieve any discomfort for their ears.

For the toilet-trained toddler, try to bring them to the toilet about 30 minutes before landing, to avoid the need to go as the plane is about to land.

Slings and buggies

A lightweight carry-on buggy which can be taken on the plane free of charge is a must have item of luggage to bring with you, especially when there is a lot of walking to do at the airport. You will most likely need it as soon as you arrive at your destination as well.

In my own experience using a sling can be a great comfort for your baby as well as being very practical. The buggy doesn't always land at the arrivals gate - even though they promise it! Having your baby in a sling or baby-backpack will also give you two free arms to wheel your cases, hold hands or push the luggage trolley.

Snacks and drinks

Again, preparation of food ahead of time is key to saving time and money. Prepare some pots of fresh and dried fruit, crackers, batons of cheese and veg, pouches of fruit. Pre-cooked meals that can be enjoyed cold, like pasta, vegetables and sandwiches are always a winner while enroute.

Sports cap bottles are one of the best travel companions as they not only quench the thirst, but most are spill proof – so no mess! The snacks and drinks not only fill our little one’s tummies, but they love small portions to nibble & graze on while enjoying the journey.

Carry-on luggage

Many parents find packing the toys, snacks, nappies & wipes into an adult rucksack a great help. It’s also easier to store this bag (instead of the usual roller carry-on Suitcase) under the airplane seat in front of you so that you’ve got easy access to grab the essentials when you need them during the flight.

Top tip: Make sure to bring your baby's naptime essentials - comforter, soother and blanket - to make it as easy and familiar as possible to doze off.

Sunshine holidays - what do I need to know?

For babies under 12 months, according to HSE.ie, "it is best to keep them out of direct sunlight. For example, by providing shade when they are outdoors and wearing protective clothing and hats".

For babies under six months old "it's better to protect babies from sunlight rather than use sunscreen". The reason being for this is that their skin doesn't absorb the sunscreen as well compared to an older child. This is definitely something that you should consider when looking to book a sun holiday, and as with the old age advice, stay out of the sun between the hours of 11am and 3pm.

There are plenty of UV protective suits (Labelled UPF) that can be purchased as well as some cute sunglasses for your little one- Choose sunglasses that meet the I.S. EN 1836 standard.

The HSE has further advice on what works clothes-wise, saying: "Linen, cotton and hemp let fewer UV rays through. Dark clothes block more UV rays than light-coloured clothes."

Drinking water - is there anything I need to know?

Here in Ireland we can boil the water that comes straight from the tap, let it cool and use it, but what about the likes of the Canary Islands etc?

The thing you need to keep an eye out for when buying water to use for baby bottles is a baby bottle mark on the bottle itself. It'll sometimes have a baby on the front, but not always. This is the best water to use due to the mineral contents of others.

When travelling within Europe, do not forget to get your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

Remember to check with an individual airline if you have any questions. And whenever you decide to head away, enjoy the experience!

Travelling next thurs with my 9month old!

Anybody any experiences with this? He will be on my lap/bassinet!

If they are nice and you can get on with them (with a cute 9 month old that shouldn't be hard) then they will let you have a seat if it's free, or move to 2 seats that are (if one not available next to you) - happened to a friend of mine from Dublin to Malaga so you shouldn't have a problem :)

If you can get the center of a bulkhead row, usually they have a bassinet in the bulkhead wall that your infant can use while in flight if he/she is still small enough to fit. Used to fly Aer Lingus a lot and my boss called the bulkhead rows the screaming baby section. Because of the bassinet, it was always occupied by a family with an infant.

>Travelling next thurs with my 9month old!Anybody any experiences with this? <

No, I have never met your 9 month old:-))

Personally I would strongly advise buying a child seat, lap baby only works short haul. As is commonly said on here, push your dining room chair up against a wall, have some limited leg room in front and your partner in their chair pushed right next to you, strap your child to your lap and sit their for the next 9 hours and try to keep your child quiet and occupied,

Doable but the discomfort involved for all will make you need a holiday afterwards.:-((

It is highly unlikely that you will be permitted exit seats.

Just a few practical tips.......

Hold luggage.... suggest you use your hold luggage allowance for essentials for the baby. It will be a long flight and you may need easy access to extra clothes, nappies, wipes,nappy bags, calpol and bottles.

Bottles.... if your baby is drinking bottled milk, I'd advise taking a few extra bottles. Hopefully your flight will not be subject to any delays, but having spares will make delays just a bit more bearable. The flight restrictions on taking liquids on board is available from the Aer Lingus website.

Air pressure: Small babies and very young children have more difficulties coping with air pressure changes, especially at take off and landing, so I'd advise to giving your baby a bottle of milk/juice at these times, as the swallowing motion helps to clear their ears.

Staff... they really do want you to have a safe and pleasant flight ! Personally, I've always found Aer Lingus staff to be very warm and helpful. If you need anything for the flight , I am confident they will help you as much as possible, but bear in mind the staff will benefit from prior knowledge, so I'd suggest making requests for bassinet seats/baby seats before you fly.

I actually don't intend this to be mean, but I am often surprised by the amount of people who dont book a seat for their child long haul and then post on here if they think it will be possible to get a free one.

Buying your child a seat is simply part of the journey cost. If you can't or don't want to pay for it, then you pretty much have to understand that the odds are, and the odds lets be honest, overwhelmingly are, this will be lap baby for nine hours, closer to ten probably when we take into account the time before take off and after wheels down. Not bassinet baby, not baby seat baby, not free seat baby, but lap baby.

The requests would ndicate to me that it means pax know just how difficult this is going to be. Lap baby for ten hours is no joke for any party concerned and it's important to make sure the child is not in distress, not just for the childs own benefit, but also for the other pax, and that includes the person sitting right next to them in that row.

I personally believe that over a certain journey length this really should not be permitted. A seat should be purchased and available for the child to spend time in.

There really is some things that simply because you can, really does not mean you should.

As far as I know, when you've got a lap infant, you've got to sit in a seat that has an extra drop down oxygen mask. Moving seats to get a spare one doesn't seem like a brilliant plan to me - just in case :(

If you decide against that option, bassinet seats (presuming your baby isn't too big for one) are subject to availability and need prebooking. Leaving it until so close to travel date, you may well be out of luck.

The thought of having a baby strapped to me for 9 hours would be enough to put me off flying altogether.

I agree with the above about getting a seperate seat for your baby.

We did Copenhagen to Manchester on Sunday, a flight of just 90 minutes and I was so pleased to get off at the end of it. We actually had a spare seat for her but trying to hold her still and entertain her for that length of time was very challenging and stressful for us all. I would have hated to be on a longer flight . Will be buying her a seat on even short haul flights and taking a car seat with us going forward.

We went to Australia from the UK in Jan/Feb and to the US in March, we didn't buy a spare seat for her then but we were travelling BC, I found this was fine and she wasn't crawling then. If I was travelling long haul in economy, I'd buy another seat in a heart beat.

My top tip for flying with a baby is don't take advantage of the airline's offer to board first. This just means a lot of extra time of holding baby on the plane . We always board last now.

Flying Aer Lingus with baby

MollyRover · 30/09/2022 08:12

We're going to see family soon with our 4 month old. I've booked flights but no bags because I'm not sure what you're allowed to bring and when booking for baby , there was nowhere to specify buggies etc. What can I expect? Thought I'd ask here before contacting them. Can we bring the buggy? What about car seat? Can we each have 10kgs hand luggage?

Yes you can bring the buggy. They will take it from you at the gate so you will have it at the airport until then. you won’t get 10kg for the baby. I’m not sure about the car seat. I’ve seen people check them in. I think you can buy bags to put them in now. Not a thing when my DS was little unfortunately. I bought another car seat to leave in Dublin.

Did you make the booking? You need to check the booking details to see what seat type you bought. 10kg is now checked in as standard on the low fare. 10kg carry on is extra. Are you travelling with someone? Make sure you booked your seats together so you’re not that person who asks someone who paid for their seat to move 😀

Actually the baggage situation is ok now. I haven’t had any issues and been flying back and forth over the last few months.

What airport are you flying to? It's handy to have a sling at Dublin airport as you have to get from the plane to the baggage area before you get the pram back. Far easier with a tiny baby than a toddler, I've thought my arms would fall off a few times!

Cork airport is the best one to fly into, it’s a doodle and stress free. Good luck with the travels

@Insideallday I know, I love it! It's Amsterdam I'm more worried about really.

Unless you have paid extra for hand luggage as carry on you will have to check in your 10kg bags.

I flew with AerLingus just yesterday and there are fairly prominent signs at check-in and on boarding saying that if you didn't pay for the fare type (I think plus and above) which allows you to carry on 10 kg of luggage but have a bag with you then you will be asked to check it in on boarding and there was a €35 fee for doing so. No idea whether they are enforcing that or not but there was even a QR code on the sign to enable payment. If you booked saver then you can only take a small carry-on with you, I don't know how long you are going for but I would think just the essentials for travelling with a baby - nappies, wipes, spare clothing (and for you as well!) – Would take up at least one if not more of those carry on bags so you are leaving yourself almost no leeway for anything else. Could you just book one suitcase on one of the tickets and use that for everyone?

@unfortunateevents I'm not trying to avoid paying for a bag, I'm trying to avoid having lost luggage because there aren't enough baggage handlers.

The booking says we have 2 checked in bags and 1 carry on bag, all 10kg. Will they allow the changing bag aswell?

Have a look at the w&a on their website, I flew with them last weekend and it was fine. There were 2 mums with young babies, dropped prams at front of the plans and used slings. They had checked their baggage in as not enough hands. Schipol is one of the easier airports with baggage surely as you literally scan your cases through security as you're boarding (unless it's changed now?)

I'll check Q&A, thanks @Michellebops . There are some gates where there is a security scan at the gate but these are only for Schengen countries i think. Had to check our bags at the normal bag check in desks when we were traveling through not that long ago, but before it was a total disaster.

I've only flew out of Amsterdam once and it was to Edinburgh, and confused how we got to departure gate with still our luggage 🙈 But it's a mahoosive airport so I suppose it made sense

Just read this on the website: One fully collapsible buggy/stroller is allowed free of charge for an infant or child booking, plus one of the following items: car seat, booster seat or travel cot. So I guess we can take the car seat but not the pram?? It's not fully collapsible as far as I know.

Travelled with a six month old. Usually you can take a pram and the car seat. If you can, consider getting a bag for both items, and use bubble wrap to pad your car seat for protection. Highly recommend using a sling for getting on and off the flight. We’ve always been able to take the pram to the gate, but often you won’t get it back until the baggage reclaim hall, so having the sling makes it easier and safer for you and baby. Try to feed baby for take off and during the descent to protect their ears from the pressure changes. Or use a dummy. No specific advice about Amsterdam or Aer Lingus I’m afraid.

You can take any type of buggy to the door of the plane but obviously if it's an expensive pram you run the risk of it getting wrecked if it's in the hold with no protection. There's places in Dublin airport where you used to be able to rent buggies so I'd try that. I found the sling invaluable in any airport. The baby bag is usually extra to the 10k. With aer lingus and an infant you can't check in online so add that to your timings.

Id try see if they're in cork I mean. Stork somthing they used to be called

@MollyRover - I know you're not trying to avoid paying for the checked in bag but it sounded as if you were trying to avoid the possibility of lost luggage. However if you now say that you actually have 3 10kg bags between you on your tickets and two are checked in then it looks like you already face that possibility? So I'm not sure what your question actually is – are you hoping that they will allow you to take the checked in bags on board instead of putting them in the hold?

@Sweetmotherofallthatisholyabov unfortunately none in Dublin @unfortunateevents yes, what was previously referred to as "hand luggage" is to be checked in. So that's inconsistent in the current climate, and more so when traveling with a baby. If it was possible to take buggy to the gate that would help but it looks like it has to be checked in aswell. I was trying to clarify this. I have never traveled with a very small baby and haven't traveled since the baggage situation got so bad so I'm asking what to expect.

Wait a minute - if you bring your luggage to the gate/the buggy it gets brought directly to the plane doesn't it? Is it just the bags that go through the airport that are going AWOL in Amsterdam? We used air tags on our bags so at least we knew where they were.

I'm trying to clarify if that's the case or we have to check it with other checked luggage, as is seemingly the situation in Dublin.

Adding a Known Traveler Number to Aer Lingus is the perfect solution for you! By following a few simple steps, you can enjoy the benefits of TSA PreCheck and other expedited security screenings, allowing you to spend less time waiting and more time exploring your destination. Let's dive in and discover how to add your Known Traveler Number to Aer Lingus hassle-free!

What You'll Learn

What is a known traveler number, why should i add my known traveler number to aer lingus, step-by-step guide: how to add your known traveler number on aer lingus, tips and reminders when adding your known traveler number to aer lingus.

If you are a frequent traveler, you may have heard of the term "Known Traveler Number" or "KTN." A Known Traveler Number is a unique identification number assigned to individuals who have been pre-screened by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and deemed low-risk travelers. This number allows eligible travelers to enjoy expedited security screening benefits when flying.

The most common way to obtain a Known Traveler Number is by enrolling in a Trusted Traveler program, such as TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. These programs require applicants to undergo a thorough background check and fingerprinting process. Once approved, travelers are issued a KTN, which can be used when making flight reservations.

Adding your Known Traveler Number to your Aer Lingus reservation is a straightforward process. Here's how you can do it:

Start by visiting the Aer Lingus website and navigating to the "Manage Trip" section. This can usually be found on the homepage or in the main menu.
Log into your account or enter your booking reference and last name to access your reservation.
Once you have accessed your reservation, look for an option or tab labeled "Passenger Details" or similar. This is where you can view and edit the details of your booking.
Within the Passenger Details section, you should find a field for entering your Known Traveler Number. It may be labeled as "TSA PreCheck Number" or "KTN." Click on the field to enter your number.
Enter your Known Traveler Number in the designated field. Make sure to double-check the accuracy of the number to avoid any issues during the screening process.
After you have entered your Known Traveler Number, click "Save" or "Update" to apply the changes to your reservation. Some airlines may require you to confirm the update before it is finalized.
Once saved, your Known Traveler Number should be linked to your reservation. You can verify this by checking for the presence of the number in the Passenger Details section or contacting Aer Lingus customer service.

Remember to add your Known Traveler Number to each reservation you make with Aer Lingus to ensure you can take advantage of the benefits it provides. Having a Known Traveler Number can help you avoid long security lines and enjoy a faster and more efficient travel experience.

If you frequently travel within the United States, adding your Known Traveler Number (KTN) to your Aer Lingus profile can save you time and provide a smoother travel experience. A Known Traveler Number is a unique identification number that allows eligible travelers to use TSA PreCheck lanes at the airport, which can mean shorter lines and faster security screenings. Here's why you should add your KTN to Aer Lingus and how to do it.

Expedites Security Procedures: One of the main benefits of adding your Known Traveler Number to Aer Lingus is that it allows you to use TSA PreCheck lanes. This means you can enjoy expedited security procedures, such as keeping your shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and leaving your laptops and liquids in your carry-on bag. This can save you valuable time, especially during busy travel periods.
Faster Check-In Process: Adding your Known Traveler Number to your Aer Lingus profile can also expedite the check-in process. When you provide your KTN, your TSA PreCheck eligibility will be included on your boarding pass, making it easier for the airline staff to identify you as a trusted traveler and provide you with the necessary PreCheck benefits.
Streamlines Travel Experience: By adding your Known Traveler Number to Aer Lingus, you can enjoy a more streamlined travel experience. TSA PreCheck lanes are typically less crowded, which means shorter lines and less waiting time. This can be particularly advantageous if you have a tight connection or need to catch a flight in a timely manner.

Now that you understand the benefits of adding your Known Traveler Number to Aer Lingus, here's how you can do it:

Visit the Aer Lingus website: Go to the official Aer Lingus website and click on the "Manage Trip" or "My Trips" section.
Access your booking: Enter your booking reference number and last name to retrieve your reservation.
Navigate to your profile: Once you have accessed your booking, locate the "My Profile" or "Personal Information" section.
Enter your Known Traveler Number: Look for the field labeled "Known Traveler Number" or "TSA PreCheck" and enter your KTN accurately. Double-check the number to ensure it is correct.
Save your changes: After entering your Known Traveler Number, click on the "Save" or "Update" button to save your information.

It's important to note that your Known Traveler Number should be added to your Aer Lingus profile at least 72 hours before your departure to ensure that your boarding pass reflects your TSA PreCheck eligibility.

Adding your Known Traveler Number to Aer Lingus is a simple process that can offer significant benefits for frequent travelers within the United States. By taking a few minutes to enter your KTN, you can enjoy faster and smoother travel, making your journey more efficient and enjoyable.

Here are some tips and reminders on how to add your KTN to your Aer Lingus bookings:

Retrieve your KTN: Before you can add your KTN to your Aer Lingus reservations, you need to have a valid KTN. If you are a member of Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, or TSA PreCheck, you will have a KTN associated with your membership. Make sure to have your KTN handy before proceeding.
Log in to your Aer Lingus account: Visit the Aer Lingus website and log in to your account using your credentials. If you don't have an account, create one by providing the required information. Having an account will allow you to manage your bookings and add your KTN easily.

On the Aer Lingus website, it is typically located under the passenger details or personal information section of the reservation. Click on the appropriate field and enter your KTN correctly. Double-check the number to ensure accuracy.
Save your changes: After entering your KTN, click on the "Save" or "Update" button to save your changes. The website may prompt you to confirm the addition of your KTN. Confirm your selection to ensure that your KTN is successfully added to your reservation.
Verify the addition: Review your reservation to confirm that your KTN has been successfully added. You should see your KTN displayed under the passenger details or personal information section of your reservation. If you do not see it, repeat the steps and make sure to save your changes.
Repeat for other reservations: If you have multiple upcoming reservations with Aer Lingus, repeat the process for each booking to add your KTN to all of them.
Check-in and travel: Once you have successfully added your KTN to your Aer Lingus reservations, proceed with the usual airport check-in process. During the security screening, provide your KTN to the TSA officer, and they will be able to verify your eligibility for expedited screening.

It is important to note that not all airports and airlines participate in the known traveler program, and TSA PreCheck is not available on all flights. However, by adding your KTN to your Aer Lingus bookings, you increase your chances of being selected for expedited screening whenever the opportunity arises. So, if you are a program member, take a few moments to add your KTN to your Aer Lingus reservations and enjoy a smoother travel experience.

Renowned Actor Spotted on Aer Lingus Economy Flight Causes Stir Among Passengers

T ravelers on a recent Aer Lingus flight were in for a surprise when they found themselves sharing the cabin with a renowned Hollywood celebrity seated in economy class.

Those on board were astounded to see the highly acclaimed actor opting for a modest seat for his travels alongside his parents.

The star, none other than Will Ferrell, who is known for his iconic roles in movies like “Anchorman” and “Elf,” was recognized by several travelers as he journeyed from London to Dublin.

Omitting the usual luxury of a private or business class flight, Ferrell was located amongst other passengers on the aircraft.

Several travelers expressed their surprise on social media, noting that Ferrell’s parents were also on the flight, seated further ahead.

An Aer Lingus patron recounted online that Ferrell found himself sandwiched between two passengers for the duration of the trip.

The observer detailed, “On my London to Dublin @AerLingus flight this evening I was beside Will Ferrell.. in a s*** unreserved seat.”

The narrative continued with others confirming Ferrell’s presence on the flight and providing details about the seating arrangement.

Will’s connective ties to the UK have been recently strengthened by his business interest in the Leeds United football club.

The comedian and actor’s net worth is approximated at £127million, with a portfolio that includes a stake in the Los Angeles FC.

Leeds United’s manager welcomed the attention surrounding Will’s involvement, citing the value he adds to the club.

The fanfare surrounding Will Ferrell’s Aer Lingus appearance has led to speculation about his return travel plans.

FAQs About Celebrity Encounters on Flights

Do celebrities often fly on regular commercial flights?

While many celebrities choose private jets or business class, it’s not uncommon for some to fly on regular commercial flights, especially for short distances or personal reasons.

Can I approach a celebrity on a flight?

It’s generally advised to respect a celebrity’s privacy. If you do choose to approach them, always do so politely and without disturbing them or other passengers.

What should I do if I spot a celebrity on my flight?

Enjoy the moment but be discreet. If you wish to take a photo, make sure to ask for permission and be considerate of their comfort and privacy.

The presence of Will Ferrell on an Aer Lingus economy flight highlights how celebrities might sometimes choose the simplicity of commercial travel. This instance not only delighted passengers but also served as a reminder of the approachable nature of some A-listers. Regardless of their choice of transportation, celebrities, like all passengers, appreciate respect for their privacy and consideration from those around them.
