Aer Lingus expands its 90th birthday offers to short-haul breaks

Aer Lingus is marking its 90th anniversary with an expanded range of celebratory birthday offers, giving customers even more opportunities to plan a summer getaway for less.

The airline recently announced a transatlantic 90th birthday offer, with flights to North America available from just €250 each way*. Now, the airline has announced a second limited-time offer, with up to 20% off fares and bags on flights across the UK and Europe**.

Available to book until 18th June, this latest offer covers travel between 1st August and 21st October 2026, making it ideal for customers still planning a late summer break or autumn escape. Whether it’s a city break to London or Oslo, or a sunshine getaway to Nice or Faro, Aer Lingus is giving customers the ideal opportunity to make savings.

This year is a milestone for Aer Lingus as the airline celebrates 90 years of connecting Ireland with the world. From its first flight in 1936 carrying just five passengers across the Irish Sea, Aer Lingus has grown to serve over 100 destinations across Europe, the UK and North America.

To celebrate the milestone Aer Lingus is making it easier than ever for customers to explore a wide range of destinations across both its short-haul and long-haul network. From Boston and Bordeaux to Toronto and Tenerife, Aer Lingus’ 90th birthday offers provide customers with more choice than ever when planning their next trip.

Aer Lingus crew Captain Ken McManus, First Officer Richard Roche, Lesley Murphy, Cian Brophy, Eva Sismanidou, Aaron McAleenan were pictured at Dublin Airport ahead of the airline’s inaugural flight to Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina. Aer Lingus’ new service to Raleigh-Durham launches just in time for the 2026 Aer Lingus College Football Classic, featuring the University of North Carolina’s Tar Heels.
