Aer Lingus resume flights from Dublin to Orlando

This weekend the US celebrates Thanksgiving and Aer Lingus is giving passengers plenty to be thankful for with the announcement that it will re-start its direct service from Dublin to Orlando.

From this Sat, Nov 27, 2021 customers will be able to travel directly to Florida, following the lifting of travel restrictions to the US earlier this month. From this weekend, Dublin to Orlando will operate three flights per week to connect families, friends, and businesses in the run-up to the holiday period. This weekly schedule of direct flights to Orlando will fly on Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday with fares starting from €169 each way, including taxes and charges.

Re-connecting Ireland with the southeast of the United States for the first time since March 2020, the direct Dublin to Orlando route is hugely important for recreational travel in Ireland. Orlando has some of the world’s most popular theme parks and is a firm favorite for family trips throughout the year.

Home to Magic Kingdom Park, the impressive Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld’s up-close animal encounters, Orlando has long been a popular tourist destination for families looking for the holiday of a lifetime.

Those looking to visit the Sunshine State can avail of the great Black Flyday offers on flights to the US with Aer Lingus.
