ONE OF THE best offshoots of corporate rivalry has to be the constant, petty one-upmanship that brands attempt on social media.

And there are none better at this than Aer Lingus vs Ryanair.

So, Ryanair took to Twitter to celebrate their arrival in Dublin Airport’s Terminal 2

The implication being, of course, that Aer Lingus just don’t go low enough with their fares – as they run exclusively out of T2. First degree burn, we think.

No worries, Aer Lingus were quick to fire straight back at them

With images as well. Fancy. This has to be upgraded to at least a second degree social media burn.

Ah yes, brands trying to be sassy.

Meanwhile, at CityJet’s Head Office:
