Aer Lingus today announces the launch of three new winter routes, offering customers flying from Dublin and Cork even more opportunities to enjoy a seasonal escape to some of Europe’s most enchanting destinations.

Customers flying from Cork will be walking in a winter wonderland with new flights to Geneva and Prague, while the new route from Dublin to Turin will make it easier than ever to access Italy’s alpine slopes.

Taking off from Dublin:

Turin: Situated in the heart of Italy’s Piedmont region, Turin offers effortless access to world class ski resorts such as Via Lattea (The Milky Way), one of Europe’s largest ski areas; Pila, located in the Aosta Valley; and Bardonecchia, a hidden gem offering some of the best value skiing in the Alps. The region is ideal for families, with slopes for all ages and skill levels. For those seeking more than an Alpine adventure, Turin delivers culture, cuisine, and charisma in abundance. As Italy’s first capital, its rich heritage shines through in elegant boulevards, baroque architecture, and regal landmarks like Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Madama. Flights will operate once a week, on a Sunday, from 21st December to 29th March, with one-way fares available from €49.99, including taxes, charges and carrier-imposed fees.

Taking off from Cork:

Geneva: Nestled between the Alps and the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland’s second largest city boasts breathtaking scenery and cultural appeal. For winter sports lovers, Geneva is a convenient gateway to the renowned ski resorts of Morzine, famous for its picturesque pistes and vibrant apres-ski scene, and Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, known for its legendary off-piste runs, including the famous Vallée Blanche. Within the city, visitors can admire the iconic Jet d’Eau fountain, climb the tower of St. Pierre Cathedral, or check the time at the blooming L’horloge Fleurie (Flower Clock) – a tribute to the city’s watchmaking heritage. Flights will operate once a week from Cork Airport on a Saturday, from 20^th December to 28^th March, with one-way fares available from €49.99, including taxes, charges and carrier-imposed fees.

Prague: Discover the timeless beauty of Prague, often hailed as an open-air museum of European architecture. Stroll through its cobbled streets to uncover iconic landmarks such as Prague Castle, the awe-inspiring St. Vitus Cathedral, and the vibrant Old Town Square, home to the world-famous Astronomical Clock. No winter city break is complete without a visit to the city’s festive outdoor markets, which serve local delicacies like hot strudel, gingerbread, roasted chestnuts, and spicy warm wine (known as ‘svařák’ in Czech). For winter sports, Špindlerův Mlýn, the Czech Republic’s premier ski resort, can be found nearby in the Krkonoše Mountains. Flights will operate twice a week from Cork Airport, on Thursdays and Sundays, from 23rd October to 26^th March, with one-way fares available from €49.99, including taxes, charges and carrier-imposed fees.

Susanne Carberry, Chief Customer Officer, Aer Lingus said: “Aer Lingus’ three new winter routes expand our network and offer new winter escape destinations for our customers flying from both Dublin and Cork. Winter breaks or ‘coolcations’ are growing in popularity among Irish consumers, and we’re delighted to respond to this trend by offering greater choice and convenience for seasonal travel across the continent this year.”
