New Aer Lingus app to make travelling easier

Aer Lingus has released a new mobile app, which should make the process of booking and checking in that much easier.

The app has been released in a bid to up the number of mobile check-ins, and it comes with a range of features designed to make the whole travelling experience more straightforward. For starters, those using the app will have a personal profile where they can store all travel and payment information; this should make it easier to check in and complete future purchases.

It features a redesigned search function and searches are saved so that you can come back to them at a later date. The app allows travellers to check in for both inbound and outbound flights at the same time, and you can add optional extras. Meanwhile, iOS users will be able to add their boarding pass to their Wallet app.

Finally, the app features a personalised home screen that displays the latest flight status and a recommended check-in time.

Aer Lingus' Chief Commercial Officer, Keith Butler said: “We’re delighted to reveal the new Aer Lingus app which we believe will become the ultimate travel companion for Irish travellers.

"The new app complements the new website experience at aerlingus.com and together enables Aer Lingus to offer guests a smarter online experience.

The Aer Lingus app is available on Android and iOS.
