The newest aircraft in the Aer Lingus fleet is the Airbus A321XLR.
Designed for long, thin routes like those across the Atlantic (the "XLR" stands for "Extra Long Range"), the single-aisle jet promises the range of some wide-body aircraft with fewer seats to fill on every flight.
Having flown sister airline Iberia's A321XLR last year (the world's first operator of this game-changing new aircraft type), I was curious to see how the Irish flag carrier's version compared, so I flew the A321XLR round-trip between Dublin Airport (DUB) and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to find out.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
