“Hello… Seattle!”

Aer Lingus have just announced the launch of a brand new route direct to Seattle from Dublin.

The airline will fly from the Irish capital to the home of Dr. Frasier Crane, Pearl Jam, Starbucks, Microsoft and inclement weather from next summer, with fares starting at a more than reasonable €259 each-way including taxes and charges, when booked as a return trip.

“We are delighted to announce Seattle as our latest transatlantic route for summer 2018,” said Aer Lingus CEO Stephen Kavanagh.

“We believe this service will offer great value choices to our guests and further enhance Ireland’s trade and business links with the U.S. Since joining International Airlines Group some two years ago we have grown and strengthened our Dublin Gateway to North America and we look forward to continuing this development in the years to come.”

The Airbus A330 offers both business and economy class services and will operate four times weekly from 18 May 2018 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

The new route to Seattle follows the announcement of direct flights to Los Angeles, Newark, Hartford, Miami and Philadelphia since 2015.
