Following the recent relaxation of UK travel rules now is the perfect time to plan a long-overdue trip abroad with great value to be had.

From exploring the many theme parks, shopping ‘til you drop at the outlets or soaking up the sun on the wonderful beaches, Orlando has something to offer for everyone.

If a city trip is more up your street, tick the Big Apple off your travel bucket list in 2022. New York is a one-of-a-kind city and the epicentre for arts, dining and shopping. 

For those craving laid-back beach vibes on stunning white-sand beaches, all while enjoying rum and spicy Bajan cuisine, Barbados is a perfect escape for some sun.

Bill Byrne, Aer Lingus Director of Global Sales, said: ‘’We are pleased to offer great savings on these popular transatlantic routes from our Manchester hub to Orlando, New York and Barbados.’’

"There’s never been a better time to plan a springtime getaway to the Caribbean or US especially since we continue to see consumer confidence grow in light of the recent removal of UK travel requirements. We are pleased customers can once again look forward to taking their holidays without the need for testing on their return and we look forward to extending a warm Aer Lingus welcome to them onboard with us soon.”

To make travel easier and more streamlined, Aer Lingus has partnered with VeriFLY, a secure and easily navigable travel pass app that enables customers to keep all their COVID-19 related documents in one place and fully verified before travel.

Any bookings made to destinations in the sale will be covered by the Aer Lingus’ ‘book with confidence’*** policy, allowing customers to buy tickets with the peace of mind that if circumstances change, flights can easily be rescheduled free of charge.

Aer Lingus has also recently introduced a Travel Tool to remove the uncertainties of travel restrictions and entry requirements for all Aer Lingus destinations.

Designed to retrieve up-to-date and real time travel information tailored to customers specific journey circumstances, including vaccination status, return travel and flight connection requirements.

Aer Lingus introduced these three new transatlantic routes last year as part of its ambitious route expansion plans to make it even easier to fly across the Atlantic from the north of England.

The new services marked the airline’s first non-stop transatlantic flights from the UK, in addition to those flown from Ireland.
