Aer Lingus to cease Boston-Shannon service from winter 2018 

Aer Lingus is the second airline to announce that it is dropping this US- Ireland conncetion for the winter months. The news from Aer Lingus follows a similar announcement from Norwegian Air International last week, meaning the Mid West facility will have no direct routes to Boston between January and March. Aer Lingus has been known to cease the New York route for its winter schedule rather than dropping the Boston one. However, next winter will see the route to New York increase which will mean the total transatlantic seat capacity from Shannon next winter will rise by 2,500, indicating a shift in customer base for the airline.

With cheap flights from UK to Ireland and onward connections to USA, Dublin-based Aer Lingus, has cheap fares to Boston, New York, and Chicago, as well as operating a huge European route network. Aer Lingus flights from Dublin and Cork Aer Lingus LogoWith a new strategic purpose Aer Lingus are investing in both new routes and new aircraft. From hubs in Dublin and Cork the airline is refreshing its traditional services into London Heathrow and Manchester with more frequencies and new routes into Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle. Aer Lingus continuse to expand it’s network and the inauguration of new routes inevitably mean special low prices to ensure high loads in the first few weeks. Whilst the US operation to Baltimore is no more, there are regular services to New York (JFK), Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Washington Dulles, Chicago (O’Hare) and Orlando in the Sunshine State. One cost saving measure that is in line with the new strategy is Aer Lingus’s voluntary withdrawal from the BA dominated ‘OneWorld’ alliance - a brave move which we thoroughly support. Aer Lingus - the Friendly Airline Aer Lingus A320The two airlines based at Dublin Airport could not be further apart in terms of customer service. Aer Lingus is the friendly one. This is a great little Airline that provides a hassle-reduced way to get to the US with immigration clearance in Shannon. Many regular travellers prefer the indirect flight as a matter of choice for this one reason. We’ve seen Aer Lingus rise above a severe cost cutting phase and more recently through its pre and post flotation tidy-up - now its ready for your consideration as carrier of choice to Ireland and the US.
