Irish Airline Aer Lingus Regional has announced the introduction of new routes from Cornwall to Belfast as well as plans to make travel to North America through Dublin more accessible.
More flight options
The summer of 2023 is set to open doors for citizens of Cornwall and surrounding areas as people will be able to book direct flights to Belfast for the first time. Aer Lingus has also confirmed that the airline’s Dublin service will increase from three/four times a week to daily, meaning that there will be more connections from Cornwall to America and Canada. Prospective fliers will now have a network of 16 routes that they can take, all via a smooth connection. Some destinations include New York, Toronto, Boston, Cleveland and Ohio.
Additionally, passengers will be able to complete US immigration pre-clearance before arriving in the US, making for a much smoother and swifter transition into the country.
We are SO pleased that Aer Lingus Regional will fly direct to Belfast City from 3 April 2023 up to four times a week. They have also confirmed an increased frequency of its Dublin service from its existing four times a week – to DAILY! Find out more https://t.co/2oEqih5MtQ pic.twitter.com/VZED2nIzbG
