Aer Lingus increase Dublin frequency

Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Stobart Air have announced that they will be doubling the frequency of their flights between Liverpool and Dublin, with up to four departures per day, from 2^nd May 2016. The additional departures will bring enhanced onward connectivity to Aer Lingus’ North American route network from Dublin too.

Flights will depart early morning, lunchtime, late afternoon and in the evening and are conveniently timed to connect with Aer Lingus transatlantic flights, with reduced transfer times and greater choice of connections. Guests can also enjoy the benefit of US Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance at Dublin airport, saving time and avoiding queues in the US on arrival.

Aer Lingus commenced their Dublin service from Liverpool in October last year and the additional frequency and convenient timings of flights will appeal to the region’s business passengers, who require choice and flexibility, and particularly to those wishing to conduct a day’s business in Dublin.

The increased frequency from May onwards means that customers flying from Liverpool will now better connect onwards to 10 transatlantic services via Dublin, including New York - JFK, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando, Washington, San Francisco and Toronto. New services are also launching from September to Newark New Jersey and Hartford in Connecticut.

These latest improvements will enhance LJLA’s reputation as a convenient hassle free alternative for business travellers in particular, looking to do business both in Dublin or onward to the US.
