Aer Lingus will connect Dublin Airport (DUB) and Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) when it launches flights in October. The flights will run 3x weekly on an Airbus A330-300.
The Irish airline announced service last summer to/from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) and Denver International Airport (DEN). These flights began on April 29th and are running 4x weekly. The Minneapolis flights were supposed to switch to an Airbus A321XLR this coming winter and increase frequency to 4x weekly. This has been pulled as Airbus has delayed the service entry date for these aircraft. Flights to/from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) now end on October 26th.
The new flights to Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport will run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The seasonal flights will commence on October 25th and run through April 29th.
Lynne Embleton, Aer Lingus Chief Executive Officer, said:
Aer Lingus is bringing this iconic destination to Irish customers seeking an escape to the winter sun. In addition to the warm climate, Las Vegas is renowned for being one of the greatest entertainment capitals in the world, famous for its shows, concerts, sports events and natural wonders. It is a long-held ambition of ours to fly to Las Vegas. The launch of this new Aer Lingus route is a significant moment for us and our customers.”
Once the flights to Sin City launch, Aer Lingus will fly to 16 North American cities (17 if Minneapolis returns next summer), including:
- Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
- Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE)
- Denver International Airport (DEN)
- Hartford Bradley International Airport (BDL)
- Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- Miami International Airport (MIA)
- Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
- John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
- Orlando International Airport (MCO)
- Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
- Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
- Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
- Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
Anthony’s Take: Aer Lingus is making it easy to get to and from Dublin. Las Vegas might seem random, but the Irish airline is capitalizing on the strong demand for leisure travel.
