We do love a bit of Twitter banter and the tweets between Aer Lingus and Ryanair this evening are all kinds of brilliant.
Seeing as the two airlines are in direct competition, there’s a definite edge to the conversation between the companies.
On reading the first tweet, we thought Aer Lingus had it in the bag after they called Ryanair out on one of their business plus ads which showed an Aer Lingus plane in the background.

Even @AerLingus is talking about @Ryanair Business Plus. FYI, he’s smiling cos he saved a fortune & avoided another late @AerLingus arrival! — Ryanair (@Ryanair) January 15, 2015
However, we had to laugh after reading this brilliant comeback from Ryanair. Let’s hope this one runs and runs…
We stopped being rivals in the 90s @AerLingus @ReallyDes. We’d have to treble our fares & lose 81m customers to be your rival #EuropesNo1
