Aer Lingus reconnects the UK with San Francisco
Aer Lingus has further enhanced its transatlantic network with the return of transatlantic service to San Francisco.
It will now be more easily accessible thanks to connections from Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, as well as London Heathrow and Gatwick.
Further UK connections from Bristol and Leeds to San Francisco via Dublin will follow daily from 15 April.
Aer Lingus will operate flights four times a week, increasing to a daily service from 26 March 2022.
Bill Byrne, Aer Lingus Executive Vice-President US, said: “We are delighted to resume our Dublin to San Francisco service, connecting people from Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London daily.”
“With the convenience of US Customs and Immigration pre-clearance at Dublin, time spent connecting through Dublin provides customers with a speedier journey overall, as they arrive in the US as a domestic passenger.”
In further good news for travellers to the West Coast, daily flights to Los Angeles will restart on 12 May and flights to Seattle will return five times a week from 26 May.
UK customers can fly on 12 transatlantic routes via Dublin, including New York JFK, Newark, Miami, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Orlando, Washington, Seattle, Toronto, and Philadelphia.
Last year, Aer Lingus also launched non-stop routes from Manchester to New York JFK, Orlando and Barbados – the very first time the carrier has operated direct transatlantic services from the UK.
