## Description

Aer Lingus Play lets you customize and preview in-flight entertainment, build your own playlists before boarding, and connect to the inflight screen to start watching as soon as you board.

Onboard, your device can control the seatback monitor, serve as a second screen for live television, and display the inflight map to track your flight.

## Review summary

Aer Lingus Play is praised by a few for being easy to use and offering some value, but it is broadly plagued by unreliable pairing with seatback devices, dependence on in-flight Wi‑Fi (often paid), content availability issues, and a confusing user experience. Many reviews label the app as ineffective and inconsistent across flights, leading users to rely on the seatback screen instead.

### Pros

- Easy to use and sometimes useful.
- Lets you see what will be available on the flight.
- Works as advertised for some users and offers good value for the price.

### Cons

- Unreliable pairing/connection to seatback devices (Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi) with frequent failures.
- Requires inflight Wi‑Fi (often paid) to use and may still not provide content or work reliably.
- Poor/ confusing UX: issues like no code input field, endless splash screens, and lag.
- Does not provide meaningful benefit in many cases; often feels like junk or not worth the effort.
- Inconsistent performance across flights and not reliably fixable by staff.
