First Class on Aer Lingus?! Man, it’s been awhile… Well, as it was Aer Lingus offered a very nice First Class product known as Golden Shamrock Service. Following is a menu from the evening departure between New York and Shannon. After reading this, I wish Aer Lingus still offered First Class… This menu dates from 1979.
