The luck of the Irish can help travelers get a great flight deal.
Aer Lingus has recently launched dozens of low-cost flights from the United States to Ireland, the airline’s home country. The Irish carrier offers round-trip flights to Dublin and Shannon for under $500 and even offers flights across Europe to destinations like Amsterdam or Rome for under $531.
Travel + Leisure Top deals include:
- Boston (BOS) to Dublin (DUB) for 434 USD round trip
- New York (JFK) to Dublin (DUB) for 434 USD round trip
- Orlando (MCO) to Dublin (DUB) for $434 round trip
- San Francisco (SFO) to Dublin (DUB) for $453 round trip
The discounted flights are all in the economy cabin and are available between September and November. T+L has previously recommended that September and October are among the best times to visit Ireland due to the weather and low levels of tourism in popular areas.
For reference, Aer Lingus’ economy cabin only includes one carry-on bag and one complimentary meal. For a fee, passengers can add one checked bag and seat selection.
Dublin Airport offers a unique benefit: pre-clearance. Travelers can save up to two hours by clearing United States customs and security at Dublin Airport, essentially re-entering the United States as if they were flying domestically. Dublin Airport also recently upgraded its airport Wi-Fi, making it faster than ever.
Aer Lingus is responding to the increase in tourism in Ireland by launching new flights to make travel easier. The airline recently launched flights from Las Vegas to Dublin, and from Minneapolis and Cleveland to Dublin.
T+L recently highlighted several Dublin hotels in the spotlight of T+L readers’ vote in its annual World’s Best Awards poll, including the Merrion Hotel, The Westbury and The Shelbourne, Autograph Collection.
