Aer Lingus, Ireland’s national airline, has announced an expansion of its Winter 2024 schedule from Manchester Airport.
This expansion focuses on increased service frequency on the popular Manchester to Orlando route.
Meeting Peak Season Demand
To cater to the surge in demand during the peak winter season, Aer Lingus will offer up to four flights per week between Manchester and Orlando.
This represents a significant increase from the current three weekly flights.
Passengers seeking a winter getaway or a festive escape with loved ones will benefit from the addition. The new fourth weekly flight will operate between December 18, 2024, and January 8, 2025.
This includes a special Christmas Day service, ensuring greater flexibility for holiday travel planning.
Travelers looking to secure their winter getaway at an attractive price can now book roundtrip flights to Orlando. These start from just £439 in Economy Class (inclusive of all taxes and charges).
Orlando: Beyond Theme Parks
