Flying Aer Lingus via Dublin for the first time.

[Samaya]

When i looked into Aer Lingus they only flew on a tuesday & saturday, do they increase flights in peak season or does anyone think they might add more flights?

Yes, at the moment it's only a Tuesday and Saturday for the service Dublin to Orlando, but there's a Thursday service which starts on 20th June and looks to be going through to at least March 2014 and later, check it out at .......

We fly Thursday 1st August so they have 3 flights a week early August, see their timetable here http://www.aerlingus.com/cgi-bin/obel01im1/bookonline/timeTables.do?topnavtab=information_tab

Doubt they will add more in the near future, they are better filling the planes that go rather than adding more and risking half empty. Maybe if they can keep making a profit thru the hard times they will add more when things get better but don't see that happening within 5 years myself.

If you mean you need to depart on a Monday flight and arrive back in the UK on a Tuesday then I don't know it this is do-able but it might be worth a phone call to Aer Lingus as they also have indirect flights from MCO via Boston and New York with JetBlue Airways departing on Mondays.

Not sure of your dates but the following is a current example flying out on Sat 9th Nov and returning Monday 25th Nov.

Dublin to Orlando will be a direct flight and one option of the return flight on Monday is at 15.40 with JetBlue to JFK, then from JFK to Dublin with Aer Lingus departing 20.40 and arriving 08.25 for a total of €582. (approx £495).

You may well be able to add your flights from and to Manchester to this ticket-fare but you will need to check that out over the phone and good luck if you do.....
