#Traveltradetogether

Fly from Dublin to Tromsø with fares starting from €99.99.

Flights will operate twice weekly from 3rd December 2025 to 25th March 2026.

Aer Lingus has added the ultimate winter wonderland destination to its packed winter schedule with a brand-new direct route from Dublin to Tromsø in northern Norway – one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights.

Whether chasing the Aurora Borealis, taking advantage of 24-hour skiing, or just looking for a picturesque winter escape, Tromsø has something for the whole family.

Flights will operate twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Sundays, from 3rd December 2025 to 25th March 2026, with one-way fares available from €99.99 including taxes, charges and carrier-imposed fees.

Susanne Carberry, Chief Customer Officer, Aer Lingus, said: “Our new direct service from Dublin to Tromsø introduces Norway to the Aer Lingus network for the first timeThis is a fantastic opportunity for our customers in Ireland to discover the natural beauty and unique experiences of Northern Norway this winter. The new route also offers the people of Tromsø and surrounding areas a convenient connection to Dublin and a chance to explore all that Ireland has to offer.”

Ulv Elbirk, route developer at Avinor, Airports of Norway, said: “This route will establish the first direct connection between Tromsø and Ireland, and we expect that both Irish and American travellers will use it, thereby further supporting Tromsø’s phenomenal growth journey.”

Arctic Adventure

With its unique location within the Northern Lights Belt, Tromsø is an ideal destination for visitors hoping to experience the beauty of the Aurora Borealis. The city’s famous Fjellheisen cable car to the summit of Mount Storsteinen offers one of the best ways to see this natural phenomenon, whilst also enjoying panoramic views of the city – including its famous Arctic Cathedral.

Just 12 km from the airport, Tromsø Alpinpark offers slopes for all skill levels—perfect for snow sports enthusiasts seeking adventure in the Arctic.

Adding to the airline’s portfolio of ‘Coolcation’ destinations, Tromsø is the fourth new short haul route added to Aer Lingus’ 2025/26 winter schedule. Aer Lingus will also launch new direct flights from Dublin to Turin this winter, as well as direct flights from Cork to Prague and Geneva.
