I can't vouch for 51st&Green but I was just in AerLingus and Executive Lounges. Aer Lingus lounge has showers, much more space and fresher, cleaner feel, more outlets for charging. The Executive Lounge had a little better food selection with the addition of a selection of sandwiches, along with soup, cheeses, pastries also found in the Aer Lingus Lounge. Drinks about the same in both.

A question regarding EI Lounge options in BOS. EI website states that lounge access is through 'The Lounge' in Terminal C. Can I also access the BA lounge with a J class EI ticket? I know I can get from Terminal C to Terminal E without going through security. Just wondering if my EI J class ticket will get me into the new BA lounge instead.

LAX - Qantas Gold FF
Hello,
I will be flying Aer Lingus LA to Dublin, I am a Gold FF with qantas, will this give me access to the LAX international lounge for my Aer Lingu flight?
Welcome to the Aer Lingus lounge thread.
Let's start with some information. Aer Lingus operates but three of its own lounges, which are located at Dublin (DUB) terminal 2, London Heathrow (LHR) terminal 2, and Boston (BOS), the latter recently reopened after refurbishment. However, arrangements are in place at many other airports served by Aer Lingus to accommodate eligible passengers in lounges operated by other airlines, ground handlers, or the airport itself.
A full list of lounges which Aer Lingus passengers may use is available at http://www.aerlingus.com/goldcircle/lounges/
In all cases lounge access gained via a frequent flyer scheme must be evidenced by presentation of an in-date plastic card. And as in all cases of things Irish, this is applied with glorious inconsistency
People entitled to lounge access are those travelling on Aer Lingus and falling into one of the following categories:
Although Aer Lingus codeshares with United on a number of routes, Star Alliance membership does not grant access to Aer Lingus lounges.
Some lounges have additional access permissions, and where relevant these will be noted adjacent to the particular lounge's details.

People entitled to lounge access are those travelling on Aer Lingus and falling into one of the following categories:
- Aer Lingus Gold Circle, Prestige, or Elite cardholders plus one guest
- Bank of Ireland Aer Lingus Gold Visa Business cardholders plus one guest
- Passengers travelling on an EI Flexi Fare (within Europe), on presentation of their lounge access email. Note that this means the fare described on EI's website as Flexi, and may not incorporate fully flexible tickets purchased via other channels.
- Passengers travelling in EI Business Class (trans-atlantic). It is unclear whether this incorporates access at European outstations when connecting onto a business class flight.
- Passengers who have purchased lounge access when booking or using Manage My Booking (available at a limited number of locations), on presentation of their email receipt

Anybody got any recent experience with EI lounge access at Shannon!!
is the Rineanna lounge still operating? No reference to it on Airport website.
Also is BA mobile app EC Silver card acceptable for EI lounge access in DUB/LHR?
Probably wont have the shiny card in time for next trip..

Ború Lounge if flying to the US or in the afternoon to any destination
Burren Lounge otherwise
To be fair the Aer Lingus website does say Ború Lounge
Physical card is generally required, though I have seen the card on the app used in Dublin

51st&Green seems to be fraying at the corners a little based on two visits over the past month.
Small water bottles have disappeared and only a very limited set of soft drinks available.
Food options don't get replaced as quickly (e.g. Was there yesterday around 3:00 and soup was gone, only two salads and some cheese/crackers available).
Printer was also broken.
Still a decent spot but no longer an alternative for lunch!

Just a sign up closed 1 Sept 2017, a very well designed sign, not a cheap A4 printout
Was used by several other carriers, it was really two lounges with a common reception, so to close both is strange
To be fair the lounge was a kip and in need of a update

I don't disagree, was there in June and everything fresh was stale, with the packaged snacks being very cheap
