@ionannis21shum @737kc Yes she looks spotless. I think it's a features across the Aer Lingus fleet that they keep their aircraft looking very clean.

Great video, as LHR is my local airport and Aer Lingus my favourite airline I obviously really like this! Also, the BBC TV series 'Airport' actually covered the arrival of Aer Lingus' first A321 into the airport, back then the Irish pier looked slightly different and the aircraft itself (EI-CPC) had business class and the green/blue seats throughout the cabin.

@S350XWB Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video. Didn't realize 'Airport' had featured the first A321. Long gone are the days of Aer Lingus Business class on European routes :( Even a bottle of water is a rip off now!

@S350XWB Do you know what episode that was?

[S350XWB]

@Aviationnation10 Unfortunately I don't. It was one of the earlier episodes, I've looked through many of the repeats and YouTube videos but can't find it anywhere. Siobhan was the Aer Lingus agent they filmed, back then staff at LHR were in full Aer Lingus uniform and she was one of the most popular characters at the start of the show. They also followed her around not only dealing with Aer Lingus but the many Asian and African airlines Aer Lingus handled at LHR back then.
