Aer Lingus is in the middle of a ‘Flash Sale’, offering flights between Dublin/Shannon and USA/Canada from just £179 return!

The sale ends tonight at 23:59, and the options are as follows:

From Dublin:

• New York
• Washington DC
• Chicago,
• Philadelphia
• Hartford CT
• Boston
• Toronto

From Shannon:

• New York
• Boston

Travel dates are available from mid January 2020 until the end of May 2020.

I find the Aer Lingus website quite annoying to search on, so prefer to start with Google Flights.

Note that the lowest fares are “Saver” fares and that the ‘Book With Confidence’ protection is quite limited. Namely, you can “change your flight for free as often as you need… until 31 May 2021”, but that is all.

Bottom line

In normal times these would be great fares – certainly better than using Avios for Economy redemptions, even with the current 50% discount.

That said, given the continued uncertainty, I’m not particularly tempted.
