Go go go! Aer Lingus extends January seat sale

Are you already planning your first holiday of 2022?

Aer Lingus has today announced an extension of its January seat sale as a result of the increase in demand from consumers to fly following the recent easing of travel restrictions. Two million seats are currently on sale with offers including up to 20 percent off European and UK travel as well as flights to North America up for grabs from just €169 each way as part of a return trip. So, 2022 getaway, anyone? Sandy beaches, city breaks, family fun, or active adventures... wherever you're heading off to this year, chances are you'll find a decent deal in this sale. Research has found that Irish consumers are keen to get back stateside according to recent Aer Lingus search data, with searches to US cities such as New York, Boston, and Chicago all up compared to the days prior to the lifting of restrictions. SO, good news for anyone hoping to go because Aer Lingus currently has 13 direct routes between North America and Ireland from €169 each way as part of a return trip. In March of this year, Aer Lingus will also re-introduce flights to the USA from Shannon, with 14 flights a week to New York and Boston. Speaking on the January sale Bill Byrne, Director of Global Sales said: “We are delighted to extend our January sale until midnight 24th January, for travel from 01st February 2022 until 31st May 2022. Our recent search data indicates that consumer confidence in travel is returning following the lifting of travel restrictions for double-vaccinated travellers, and it’s our hope that extending our sale will give those who are looking forward to a holiday in 2022 some extra time to plan that long-awaited trip to Europe or the US and still avail of these great offers.” You can find out more here.
