Aer Lingus is reactivating a number of key US routes from its Dublin base for the first time since 2020.
Popular US services will return this summer including Philadelphia (7 April), Los Angeles (12 May) and Seattle (7 July).
These will further boost US connectivity for UK based customers with connections from Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, as well as London Heathrow and Gatwick via Aer Lingus’ hub at Dublin.
Philadelphia will return on 7 April with six flights per week, rising to daily service from May and Chicago will operate a second flight five times weekly from 8 April

In October Aer Lingus will resume its flights to Miami from Dublin.
Bill Byrne, Aer Lingus Executive Vice-President US, said: “Aer Lingus are excited to announce the resumption of a number of US destinations this summer as we build back our connectivity.”
