Aer Lingus Unveils '2For Ireland' Fares for Travel During
First Quarter of 1999
MELVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Aer Lingus, the
national airline of Ireland, is bringing back its popular
companion fare at the same incredible price offered last year.
The airline's 1999 "2For Ireland" fare is just $488 for two
roundtrip tickets to Dublin, Shannon or Belfast from all of
its U.S. gateways -- New York, Newark, Chicago and Boston.
The special fare goes on sale tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 16,
for travel January 11 through March 10, 1999.
"This fare is another example of the innovative pricing
Aer Lingus has become known for," says Jack Foley, the
airline's executive vice president - North America. "We are
often told the promotional fares we introduce throughout the
year are just too good to pass up."
Travelers can combine the "2For Ireland" fare with Aer
Lingus' Discover Ireland program, which offers accommodations
as low as $35 per person, sharing, per day, and, an Avis
rental car starting at $21 per day.
Aer Lingus' "2For Ireland" fare may be booked through
January 31, 1999, and travel must be completed by March 10,
1999. Tickets need to be purchased within 72 hours of making
the reservation and passengers must travel together.
Within the past two years, Aer Lingus has doubled its
frequency from Chicago as well as added capacity from Boston
and New York. It operates Airbus 330s and one MD-11 on its
transatlantic service, and another Airbus is scheduled for
delivery next spring when Aer Lingus commences nonstop
transatlantic service between Los Angeles and Dublin.

A committee to oversee Ireland's Millennium celebrations
that includes Boyzone's Ronan Keating and U2 manager Paul
McGuinness is to get IR 30 million funding from the Dublin
government.
Government Chief Whip Seamus Brennan, who chairs the group,
said tonight that the cash, being made available over the next
two years, was planned to act as a lever on other sources of
funding from both the private and public sectors.
He added: "I am confident the committee will ensure that
Ireland marks the millennium in a fashion that will make it
truly memorable."
