App Profile: Aer Lingus Play

This app is a little useful because you can see what will be available to you on the flight. However, since Aer Lingus charges for in-flight Wi-Fi (something which is not made clear prior to taxi), pairing it with the seatback will require you to pay to connect to the plane Wi-Fi, which in my opinion is not worth it.

I found this app functionally limited in that some features require you to link via bluetooth to the console (privacy concern) or that it just didn’t connect and come up even when the phone was on inflight wifi. After issues on all 4 flights I just gave up and resorted to using the in seat console. I’m not saying it does t work at all, just that it’s so non-user friendly or difficult to connect for so long that you just give up and use in seat functionality. Already deleted it from my phone.

Not sure why this app gets no love. Works as advertised and for the price you can’t beat it! When connecting to seatback over Bluetooth you do need to be pretty quick to accept the connection of the seatback screen before it times out. Works fine, no complaints from me.
