Aer Lingus to Launch Las Vegas Flights in Fall 2024

DALLAS — Aer Lingus (EI) is launching new flights from Dublin Airport (DUB) to Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) starting this October. 

The Irish flag carrier will operate thrice weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays using Airbus A330-300 aircraft, the largest aircraft in EI’s fleet.

This exciting development caters to those seeking a winter escape to the United States. The inaugural flight will depart on Friday, October 25, aligning perfectly with the late half-term school holidays. 

“Aer Lingus is bringing this iconic destination to customers seeking an escape to the winter sun. It is a long-held ambition of ours to fly to Las Vegas. The launch of this new Aer Lingus route is a significant moment for us and our customers,” said Lynne Embleton, Aer Lingus Chief Executive Officer.

Seamless Connections, Convenient Schedules

The new route offers more than just a direct link between DUB and LAS. Passengers traveling from across the UK can enjoy convenient connections through DUB. With a strategically designed flight schedule, EI caters to a smooth travel experience.

The outbound flight, EI50, departs DUB at 15:20 and arrives in LAS at 17:50 local time. The return flight, EI51, departs LAS at 19:30 and arrives back in DUB at 13:20 the following day.

Aer Lingus has started ticket sales for this exciting new route. Passengers can look forward to a smooth arrival experience in Las Vegas with the added convenience of pre-clearing US customs directly in Dublin.
