The Irish flag carrier is brightening up January for customers planning a trip this spring with low fares on newly operated services from Manchester to New York, Orlando and Barbados**, for travel between 1st February and 31st May 2022.

Customers can now enjoy flights from Manchester to JFK and experience the excitement of ‘The Big Apple’, with fares from £179 each way, when purchased as a return trip.

The magic of Orlando for Spring Break and the tropical shores of Barbados can also be experienced this year, with flights from £199 each way, when tickets are purchased as a return trip.

Bill Byrne, Director of Global Sales, said: ‘’Without doubt, travel is back for 2022. Following the lifting of travel restrictions for double-vaccinated travellers, consumer confidence in travel is returning. Aer Lingus is delighted to offer amazing deals on our popular transatlantic routes from our Manchester hub to New York, Orlando and Barbados, up until the end May 31, so there’s never been a better time to plan a springtime getaway to the Caribbean or US. We are looking forward to extending a warm Aer Lingus welcome to new and returning customers this year.”
