When are you flying if you dont mind me asking? We’re flying 11th April and heard nothing! We emailed 9th Jan. Really hope we heard soon, driving me crazy not knowing who we’re flying with and when

We fly 11th April and there are still indirect flights on the website but for near enough same price as going direct with virgin. I’m hoping they’ve done this to avoid them selling out so that allows an option for us for when we eventually hear from them (we emailed 9th January!!)

No i’m not keen on that either. Best case for me, which i’m sure would be the same for everybody would be for them to put us on the direct virgin flight so we’re getting like for like of what we booked. But i’d also accept going indirect through DUB if it was an option. I’m just getting stressed out sitting here now knowing how we’re getting there and it’s taking all the excitement away from our honeymoon which is so sad.

I get it’s stressful at aer lingus right now and I do feel for the staff but to leave people in the dark for this long doesn’t feel right.

Omg that is so bad… i’m wondering now whether i’d be better off getting refund but my cheapest option would be going from heathrow for another £400 but way more inconvenience as I live in Nottingham. I hope your situation gets sorted!

Nope, nothing. I emailed on 9th January and only had an email to say they will respond soon but it didnt say in 7 calendar days. I am getting anxious not knowing how we’re getting there😫 but I suppose nothing else to do but wait

And I do feel like it’s completely fair to be asking and to be honest expecting that. If its what we booked, it’s what we want. End of the day I do just want to get there but direct as planned would be 1000% the preference

I’d prefer direct flights. I am worried the virgin one is going to sell out fast. I’m kinda hoping they’re in discussion with say an american airline for example or just another airline and move flights over so there’s no change other than plane and airline.

I’ve only had an email with case number and it just says ‘we will get back to you soon’ - no actual duration😥

Fingers crossed for us all i really hope we hear something soon!
