Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Terrible customer service if anything goes wrong which inevitably seems to happen. Lost baggage and delayed flights. Good luck getting it sorted. Aer Lingus have a book of excuses from systems migrations through to their staff not following up queries. An ongoing issue for over

My seat broke so they made me go to the back of the plane. The video did not work. There is no alcohol on international flights. On the way to Ireland, they tried to remove my business class reservation. Just awful experience all around.

Terrible wait times to check-in both when flying out from Manchester and Orlando. I have never had to stand in a que for 3 hours to check-in. I asked staff why it had taken so long when flying out and they stated that this was due to additional checks that America has put in
