    I'm looking to book flights to NYC for the start of June. Do Aer Lingus do sales for June dates in January? Current sales are only for dates up to the end of April.

    Skyscanner is the best moment to keep checking flight prices.

    Remember that Newark Airport (Liberty Airport) which is actually in New Jersey is actually a little closer (and easier) to Manhattan than JFK.

    Yeah I'm signed up for skyscanner alerts, I was just wondering does Aer Lingus have a sale coming soon or if the prices are going to keep going up?

    I'd just book TBH. June is one of the peak travel months, you'd be extremely lucky to get a decent bargain.

    It's just the cost of traveling in the summer, supply and demand.

    There is no real point in waiting for a sale with flights - no matter how cheap a deal you think you're getting, there will be someone on board who paid less.

    June is prime traveling time for europeans to the US, and vice versa so flights will be prices to that level.

    Pick a price that you'd be happy paying, and look out for deals around that area.

    Aer Lingus "sales" are generally pretty rubbish, esp with trans Atlantic flights. You could wait around for a sale, but I wouldn't imagine you'd save loads. I'd book sooner rather than later.

    I went for Aer Lingus as I wanted the A330 if I could get it. 757 seems a bit claustrophobic. e558 for 1st wk in June, Dublin to JFK. Seeing as the cheapest for my dates on Skyscanner was Delta for e520 through a third party site I was happy enough to pay the bit extra and book direct.

    gawd, I didn't even think of the size of the plane ....I'll be all nervous now!!
    Flights out of Shannon seem to be cheaper .. wondering is it more subsidized than Dublin?

    I don't know about subsidies but all transatlantic planes out of Shannon are 757s.
