Aer Lingus - World's Worst Airline?

After 12 weeks I finally heard from Aer Lingus in response to my complaint about the airline losing my bag for 2 days during a recent visit to New York.

But instead of answering my complaint about their truly awful customer service and offering a humble, sincere apology for the huge inconvenience - Aer Lingus just referred me (without explanation) to the Montreal Convention.

I heard that Michael O'Leary (CEO of Ryanair) resigned from Aer Lingus years ago - because of the airline's poor attitude towards its customers which I can well believe. I've always found Ryanair excellent I have to say - they do exactly what's said on the tin!

Anyway as my journey started off in Glasgow I think I will now complain directly to the UK Civil Aviation Authority  because Aer Lingus are to modern customer services what Gerald Ratner was to the jewellery business.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
