Aer Lingus opens winter route Manchester to Barbados

Thrice-weekly flights from Manchester to Barbados direct signals the restart of a popular Caribbean seasonal service.

The carrier launched its inaugural transatlantic service from Manchester to Barbados in October last year, marked by the departure of the first E1 31 flight.

A year later, the route continues to attract British winter sun holidaymakers thanks to its three times a week service, flying direct from Manchester from November until 30 April, every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus Chief Customer Officer, said:

“We’re excited to be restarting flights to the Caribbean again this November direct from Manchester, which we first started just over a year ago.

“Customers can enjoy a warm welcome with Aer Lingus as we continue to attract strong demand for our direct transatlantic service from the UK to Barbados, and we’re looking forward to welcoming sun- seekers onboard.

“Moving into our second year of operations from Manchester we are very much focused on consolidating our position offering the best options for flights to the Caribbean and US from the North of England, in addition to our services to New York, JFK and Orlando.”

Aer Lingus operates three direct non-stop routes from Manchester, UK to Barbados, New York, and Orlando.

Aer Lingus’ ‘Book with Confidence’ policy gives customers added flexibility and enables them to change their travel dates free of charge, and as many times as they wish, up to two hours before their flight departs
