With the imminent arrival of 2026 and the chance to get away from it all looming, Aer Lingus has announced major expansion plans to the US.
The airline is significantly boosting its schedule to Boston in what it has called its biggest-ever transatlantic summer schedule.
The news comes as Aer Lingus expanded its offering with the addition of ten new routes over the past four years.

Coming into the 2026 summer season, it will up the number of flights from Shannon to Boston to ten flights per week.
There will also be earlier flight times to allow travellers to maximise their time in the city, with departures from Shannon at 11am for an arrival time of 1pm.
Aer Lingus is also launching a new direct route from Dublin to Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina.
