Horrific experience. Not even as a last resort!!
Have booked Dub - Toronto for December a month ago. Tried to book seats as one of us is having knee surgery three months prior to travel and need a little extra leg room. Aerlingus human chat advised that if we paid for seat with extra legroom we would be expected to assist airline staff in an emergency:
Ivo 2.25pm
• Row 14 or 15: proper Extra Legroom seats. They have a lot more legroom, but come with a fee, and also if you occupy them, you need to be able to assist the crew in the event of an emergency. That fee would be €109.99 per person per flight, so €439.96 in total.
Aer Lingus? you are a disgrace to Ireland!!! Will do my utmost to cancel these flights and book elswhere! Your horrific review status is well deserved!
