About this app

With the Aer Lingus Play app you can you can personalize and view your in-flight entertainment content and create playlists prior to a flight. Once onboard, just connect your device with the in-flight entertainment screen and enjoy your flight.

Once you connect your device, you can also use it to control your seatback monitor, and enjoy a touchless entertainment experience.

Ratings and reviews

App unfortunately redirects to a domain squatter unaffiliated with Aer Lingus if you attempt to use it before takeoff while still connected to a cellular network. You must turn on airplane mode then switch on only WiFi and the onboard WiFi redirects to a local server. Hilariously, you must have already downloaded the app in advance of departure, as the fake redirect landing page doesn't include a way to install the app. The app functionality is otherwise fine.

Never works. After reading other comments and finding the convoluted way you need to make it work (which is never explained) it takes ages to load, crashes, never manages to connect to the screen I'm on. I don't even know how to get to that step as I've never managed to get that far. Awful app, bring back physical remotes.

None of the pages load. I have entered my flight details, tried viewing Movies, TV and Audio pages, page attempts to load content for at least a minute, see "No titles available in this category" message. Tested on Galaxy S21.
