Love that bit of the safety demo when they show you the tube for blowing up the life jacket if it doesn’t inflate automatically. Imagine being near drowning in shock in the frozen North Atlantic trying to blow up a life jacket

I wouldn’t worry about it. The chances of enough parts of your body still being attached to you to make it work would be pretty slim.

You’d blow Pat Kenny in that situation if your life depended on it

What would be the Pat Kenny cock sucking tipping point for you?

I haven’t decided yet. I’ll think about it some more and get back to you

I’m not in today but your undercarriage got a mention on the WhatsApp group.

Enjoy the trip

If I ever get a little jittery in turbulence at 30,000 ft, thinking of the whistle attached to my life jacket to attract attention gives me a great sense of comfort.

That fucking whistle saved Rose.

Got the negative antigen test. Can come home now.

Imagine you living in an airport like Tom Hanks for a week. Be great mileage for likes

[Fagan_ODowd]

Tis some palaver now checking in online with Aer Lingus for an inbound flight. The Aer Lingus app is now paired with an app called VeriFLY and you have to upload your passenger locator form, details of vaccine and your antigen test cert to the form before you can check in. It’s not at all intuitive and I felt very @habanerocat throughout the process. Thought about leaving it til I got to the airport but then figured every technophobe on the plane would be doing the same so I stuck it out. It’s madness.

I found it quite straightforward beyond the “Checklist” link which is a bit hidden tbf. I’m surprised a techie like you has issues. You need to zoom in on any QR codes so they pick it up.

[Raylan]

Did you fly out with a different airline?

[Fagan_ODowd]

@Raylan

Did you fly out with a different airline?

No. Different requirements for coming into Ireland now.

Maybe I wasnt at my sharpest but I wouldn’t recommend leaving this to the last minute.

[Tim_Riggins]

You wouldn’t want to be with the rabble in the non VeriFLY queue tbh. I flew on a non Aer Lingus flight a few weeks ago and the plane was delayed because the airline look ages checking the passenger locator forms. This was a few days after Tony moaned that his wasn’t checked in the airport so I assume that the Irish authorities sent out a warning to the airlines.
