Some decent savings to be had here.
Aer Lingus has announced a 48-hour flash sale on transatlantic return flights to celebrate the resumption of travel to the US from Ireland.
The United States of America will begin admitting air travellers from Ireland and several other countries who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 from Monday.
Aer Lingus is offering €100 off return flights to the US and Canada, with direct flights now available to New York, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Orlando, Washington, Seattle and Philadelphia from €169 each way, including taxes and charges.
Plans are also in place to resume flights from Shannon to the US from March 2022.
The 48-hour flash sale will end at midnight tomorrow (9 November).
Restrictions are in place for those wishing to travel to the US, but Aer Lingus has announced it has also partnered with the VeriFLY app, which allows passengers to upload all of their documentation before travel in order to be verified.
Peter O’Neill, COO of Aer Lingus said: “Customers travelling to the USA are advised to check details about the latest travel requirements on AerLingus.com, as the entry requirements change from today.
“To make the process easier for our customers, we have invested in VeriFLY a travel pass app that allows users to upload and ensure that their travel documentation is checked and approved before travelling to the airport. Aer Lingus customers cannot check-in online ahead of flights to / from the USA unless they use VeriFLY.
“This will allow customers to get their online boarding pass and go straight to bag drop / boarding gate, and avoid queuing at check-in. Our teams across the airline are looking forward to welcoming customers back to the airport and back on-board.”
More details can be found on the Aer Lingus website.
