Which Aer Lingus Flights Feature The New Business Class?

Last July, Aer Lingus announced that they would be installing a new fully flat business class product throughout their longhaul A330 fleet.

I've flown Aer Lingus' old business class product between Boston and Dublin before, which I enjoyed. After all, Boston to Dublin is quite a short flight, so even an older business class product is fine.

The reason I'm especially interested in Aer Lingus' business class to begin with is because they're a British Airways Executive Club partner, and redeeming BA Avios on Aer Lingus is an incredible value, due in part to the fact that they don't impose fuel surcharges.

Etihad Issues Statement After 28 Hour Flight To San Francisco

Yesterday I shared the story of Saturday's Etihad Airways flight from Abu Dhabi to San Francisco, which was delayed on the tarmac for 12 hours due to fog. Passengers weren't allowed to deplane, so that made for a 28 hour flight.

This obviously raises a lot of questions. In the US we have the four hour tarmac rule, which is a case where government regulation makes sense, in my opinion, since we can't really trust airlines to self regulate.

Anyway, an Etihad Airways spokesperson forwarded me the following statement regarding EY183, which I figured I'd share here:
