    Just thought it was odd

    The original irish national carrier, has a shamrock on its logo. Yet when you book a flight with them on the website http://www.aerlingus.com/ The "From" section when your booking, has 9 UK cities shortcut on the list. However you have to scroll all the way down to find Dublin..

    Very Small gripe. But thought it was a strange one:confused:

    Probably down to busier routes / probably not..

    My "From" list starts Belfast, Cork, dublin etc...

    Maybe your accessing it from the UK or the website thinks you are British?

    It's done through IP-Geo Location
    If your work or ISP routes through the UK, it'll appear as UK, Spain if you route through Spain, US if through US, etc.

    Also, while we're on the subject of being patriotic and all the rest with having Irish routes at the top, why can't you get the site in Irish? You can get it in German, Spanish and all the rest, why not Irish if it's an Irish airline who seems to have an Irish theme throughout the website.

    TBH: It's probably quite easy to do. I'm involved in translating websites, and it's usually very easy to add a language onto a multi lingual website, but there's the initial translation cost and actual cost of maintaining updates, etc in each language.
