Earlier this morning, Roscommon politician Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan got into a little bit of hot water with Aer Lingus as he boarded a flight at Dublin Airport.
Before his flight took off he tweeted this dig at the airline and causally called them ‘chancers’.
What are @aerlingus stats for leaving on time?Does it ever happen?Then the drip drip feed of oh dear we're going to be a bit later #chancers

Although the MEP tagged the airline, we don’t think he was expecting this response:
Hi Luke, we see that your flight landed a few minutes early today. We hope to see you on board again soon!

Not phased by the social media guru’s reply, Flanagan responded with another sneaky dig.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil. First time in months.

Touche Aer Lingus, Touche.
