Aer Lingus ex Shannon- preclearance for US flights?
 

I'm trying to find out if they do this. It would be nice as we have a
three hour layover there on a MAN-SNN-BOS flight this Saturday. There's
no information on the airline website, though they mention it on certain
flights out of Dublin. I did post something similar and didn't get a
clear answer then... maybe someone has flown SNN-BOS on Aer Lingus
recently? Strange there doesn't seem to be a single mention of it on Aer
Lingus or the airport's website... which makes we guess they don't offer
it.

TIA

David

Sorry if I wasn't clear- I know there is preclearance at Shannon, but
don't know if Aer Lingus offer it. They didn't initially when the
customs clearance was also added, and there were irate reports from
passengers wondering why the US airlines were offering it. (I think
there's a cost per passenger.) The links above aren't helpful, as they
don't make it clear which airlines offer it... and Aer LIngus only
mention it from Dublin on their website. I suppose I'll just wait and
see...

Ah, right, now I remember.

Didn't you ask this exact same question on May 15th? I pointed you at
this press release that says Aer Lingus have been using it for over a
year:

Indeed I remember that post, but that was an announcement about an
application- it's not the same thing as confirmation. I'm resigned to
finding out on Saturday... and will report back.

We will go through preclearance at Shannon. And they have free wifi in
the waiting area. :)

Good to know - I've been considering going through Ireland rather than
London, for my next cross-pond trip.

Most times I've done it recently has been via Amsterdam.
Manchester-Shannon-Boston is going more in the right direction! I do
recommend this way, it's a quiet airport, and there's tons of space and
nice comfy soft seats in the departure gate area. Noisy propeller plane
on the way here though...

The price difference was what appealed to me - it's nice to know that
it's a pleasant airport.
A short flight in a prop plane doesn't really bother me - years ago, I
used to travel transatlantic on them. Took _ages_, from Prestwick to
Iceland and Canada, before landing in NY.
