Alternate Fares
Dates before April are considered winter travel and may be available for a slightly lower price.
To upgrade from the listed Saver fare tickets to a Smart fare on flights to Ireland is $120 roundtrip. This includes one free checked bag and advanced seat assignments.
Aer Lingus is also advertising sale fares to destinations throughout mainland Europe during the same spring travel window. Aer Lingus fares to other European cities outside of Ireland are all Smart fares, which include a carry-on bag, a personal item, and one free checked bag. This means it could be cheaper overall to fly Aer Lingus to mainland Europe instead of other carriers that charge for checked bags on the lowest fares.
Example Booking
