british airways to the rescue!

24 hours later, we are back through security! Such a relief. At 8:30 this morning we decided we needed to get over to the airport. We arrived to the airport at 9:30 with no Aer Lingus representatives in sight. I decided to call (a few others as well). By the grace of God, our call was answered after being on hold for around 30-40 min (the others who called when I did had their calls abruptly ended). Avrey and I sat on the call and ended up figuring out a new flight, seat selection, baggage, and COVID requirements. Our new flight was transferred to British Airways. Our baggage information, still incorrect from Aer Lingus, was unfortunately incorrect for BA as well. At about 12:30, Aer Lingus reps arrived. The line was absolutely insane but we were at the front. At first they acted like they could help us… then sent us away with a “I can’t do anything just go to British Airways”. We waited for British Airways who arrived at 1, they got us all checked in and when we came to the bag issue we just said “we paid for 4 bags” and she looked to her manager and her manager said “sounds good, just override what the system says”. We made it through security and are now awaiting to board the largest aircraft I have ever seen. Sad to not be traveling with Violet and Talia to Dublin, but could not be more relieved to feel truly taken care of. Big girl moment for Aves and I. I’m proud of us!!Read more
