Aer Lingus are one of those companies that tries to make money from their customers ringing them – hence they’re providing an 0818 contact number instead of even an 1890 or 1850 one, and why they’re enormously protective of any geographical alternative number which could be used instead, no matter how much we’ve tried to get one that works.
SayNoTo1890.com readers have provided what they think could be two alternatives, though I haven’t tried either of them:
If you have free phone calls to the UK as part of your phone package, or if you’re using Skype or any other internet phone service, you could try calling this London number – +44 208 234 4333.
Alternatively, another reader suggests using their head office number and asking to be redirected from there. That number is 01 8862222.
If anyone tries either of these numbers, let me know how you get on.
