Anyone looking for a winter getaway are in luck after Aer Lingus started flights to Mexico from a series of UK airports.
Starting on Tuesday, January 6, the new route offering UK connections through Dublin to Cancún will operate three times weekly on the airline’s A330-300 aircraft.
Travellers can start their journey from nine UK airports with the service running until Sunday, April 29.
Flights will depart from airports at Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, London Heathrow, Manchester, and Southampton.
Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus Chief Customer Officer, said: “Located on the Mexican Caribbean, Cancún is the ideal destination for those looking for an exciting winter escape.
“With its rich history, golden beaches and clear waters and research highlights, Cancún caters to the growing consumer demand for winter sun, while also offering a rich blend of history, culture, and cuisine.”
Carlos Trueba Coll, Director of Cancún Airport added: “On behalf of everyone at Cancún International Airport, we would like to extend a warm welcome to Aer Lingus and thank you for choosing us as part of your destination network.
“We are confident that the addition of the Cancún–Dublin route will boost cultural and economic exchange between our regions. Welcome home!”
