The airline has also gone to great lengths to ensure that passengers can enjoy seamless connections on flights from across the British Isles. Aer Lingus has carefully timed flights from across its network to allow for seamless connections from London Heathrow (LHR), Manchester (MAN), Edinburgh (EDI), Bristol (BRS), and Liverpool (LPL).
An exciting new service
Denver International Airport (DEN), one of the world’s largest transit hubs and a global gateway for legacy carrier United Airlines, has consistently become a more and more popular destination for long-haul airlines over the years. For starters, the facility serves as the most optimal gateway for those seeking to explore the Rocky Mountains, either in search of breathtaking views and hikes during the summer or hunting for pristine ski slopes in the winter.
