Ireland is only a six-hour flight from the East Coast of the United States, meaning it can be hassle-free and affordable if you find the right deal. Keeping your trip to Ireland short and flying out of cities like New York City and Boston will minimize costs and still allow you to plan a memorable journey to a country known for its natural beauty, castles and pubs.
By booking a flight through AerLingus, you can fly out of cities like Boston, New York, Chicago and Orlando for a relatively cheap price. If you have flexible travel dates, you will be able to find deals, such as a $199 one-way flight from New York City to Shannon, Ireland (as of September 2010). AerLingus also offers last minute vacation packages to Dublin, Ireland, including roundtrip airfare from Boston and a four-night hotel stay for $399 per person.
