Aer Lingus Launches New Dublin to Seattle Direct Flights

Aer Lingus will launch a new transatlantic route connecting Dublin (DUB) and Seattle (SEA), marking the airline’s 13th destination in North America.

The service will operate four times per week, beginning on May 18, 2018, and represents the first non-stop flight between Dublin and Seattle.

Aer Lingus reports that through connections passengers can travel from 12 U.K. cities and a total of 24 European cities. Promotional one-way fares from the U.K. start at £259 when booked as a return itinerary.

Flights are scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The westbound departure leaves Dublin at 15:50 and arrives in Seattle at 17:35 local time. The eastbound return departs Seattle at 19:20 and arrives back in Dublin at 12:35 the following day.

This Seattle link is Aer Lingus’s sixth transatlantic route introduced since 2015. The airline has also recently added service to Philadelphia (PHL) as part of its expanded North American network.
