I think I must have missed Aer Lingus' 75th birthday. I was through Dublin T2 on Friday 27th May, and there was no mention of the momentous occasion - no balloons, no birthday banners, not even a fake cake to be seen. The lack of celebration mode carried through into the Gold Circle lounge, where the only hint of the event was a wifi password which reflected the occasion.
I boarded the flight to the UK, and neither the crew nor the captain made any reference to the birthday.
I thought i had my dates completely wrong, then I saw a full page Ryanair ad wishing them happy birthday for 75 years of rip-off fares - so the only confirmation of the Aer Lingus 75th birthday was an advert from their old friend Michael O'Leary!
