#Travelbizconnect #TasteofAmerica2024 #aerlingus#Traveltradetogether #Shannonairport

Next arrival point is Cork  in the Imperial Hotel.

Sponsored by Shannon Airport and Brand USA, Taste of America trade partners arrived in Limerick for day three of the Aer Lingus Trade Support roadshow in the very impressive Strand Hotel.

Declan Power and Isabel Harrison (Shannon Airport) were headline  sponsors for both taste of America shows in Limerick and Cork with Brand USA.

Declan addressed members of the trade  highlighting the pre-clearance and state-of-the-art security clearance at Shannon airport with no need for passengers to remove liquids and electronic items from hand luggage, coupled with a one check in and pre – clearance process with little or no queues experienced even at peak times. Declan also highlighted the advantage of parking on site at Shannon airport enabling passengers to walk to departures and arrivals.

Passengers can connect to all USA cities from Shannon with direct services with Aer Lingus to New York and Boston along with United Airlines direct flights to Chicago and Newark providing excellent connections to all major cities in North America and beyond.

Our USA Taste of America Partners provided amazing prizes on the night with Claire Doyle from KelAir Campotel Keller Travel winning two return flights to Boston with Aer Lingus  from Shannon Airport, including accommodation, attraction tickets and excursions compliments of Stacy and the Meet Boston team, Aer Lingus and Shannon Airport.
