From this Friday, the Golden city will be back on the Aer Lingus schedule, operating from Dublin four times per week and daily from March 26th.

Commenting on the route restart, Bill Byrne, executive vice-president US at Aer Lingus said: “We are delighted to resume the Dublin to San Francisco service and to unite friends, families and businesses once more, reconnecting our communities and economies.
“There’s no doubt that travel is back for 2022, and we are busy preparing operations for further route restarts.
“As always, customers flying to North America with Aer Lingus will enjoy complimentary meals and drinks, endless hours of in-flight entertainment, and US Customs and border pre-clearance at Dublin and Shannon airports.”
It comes as the company continues to reintroduce US routes.
