Aer Lingus Just Dropped 3 New Winter Routes

Aer Lingus Just Dropped 3 New Winter Routes and We’re Already Packing Our Woolly Hats

Get ready to swap soggy Irish drizzle for snowy Alpine thrills or mulled wine-fueled market wanders—because Aer Lingus is gifting us not one, not two, but three new winter routes. That’s right. Winter 2025–26 just got a whole lot cooler (pun fully intended).

Let’s break it down before your skis start twitching and your suitcase zips itself.

From Dublin to Turin: Gelato, Gothic Churches and Great Skiing

Starting 21st December, Dubliners can say “arrivederci” to boring Sundays and “ciao” to Turin. Yes, that Turin—the one nestled in Italy’s snowy Piedmont region, surrounded by dreamy ski resorts like Via Lattea, Bardonecchia, and Pila. Whether you’re there to hurtle down a mountain like you’re auditioning for the Winter Olympics or simply to eat your weight in pasta and call it “carb-loading,” Turin delivers.

And because Aer Lingus understands your chaotic December schedule, the flights run once a week on Sundays—perfect for sneaking in a festive escape without pretending your “cousin’s wedding” is why you’re skipping work on Monday.

From Cork to Geneva: Swiss Bliss on a Saturday

Cork is getting in on the action too with a new Saturday service to Geneva kicking off 20th December. If you’ve always wanted to casually say, “I’m off to the Alps this weekend,” congratulations—this is your moment.

Geneva is basically a ski gateway drug. From there, you’re a snowball’s throw from legendary slopes like Chamonix and Morzine. Just imagine it: fresh powder, fondue, and your winter Insta game suddenly becoming 800% more enviable.

Plus, it’s the kind of place where even getting lost looks like a scene from a perfume ad.

From Cork to Prague: Mulled Wine and Magical Markets

Now, if your idea of winter fun doesn’t involve sliding down a mountain at 60km/h, Cork’s got your back with another new route—to Prague! Beginning 23rd October (because someone clearly couldn’t wait for Christmas), this twice-weekly service runs on Thursdays and Sundays.

Prague in winter is straight out of a snow globe. Fairy lights? Check. Hot wine stalls? Double check. Cobblestones you’ll 100% slip on while trying to look cute in photos? Absolutely.

And for the overachievers, the Czech Republic’s top ski resort, Špindlerův Mlýn (try saying that after two glasses of Becherovka), is also within reach if you fancy mixing a bit of sport with your seasonal sightseeing.

Flights So Cheap You’ll Want All Three

Here’s the cherry on top: one-way fares start at just €49.99, including taxes and charges. That’s less than you spent on novelty Christmas jumpers last year. Go ahead, book the flights and justify it later with “it was basically cheaper than staying home with the heating on.”

More Choice, Less FOMO

Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus’ Chief Customer Officer (aka Queen of Coolcations), said, “Winter breaks or ‘coolcations’ are growing in popularity.” She’s not wrong—why hibernate when you can holiday?

These new routes are all about options. You can hit the slopes, sip Swiss hot chocolate, wander Baroque churches, or get lost in Prague’s Christmas market maze—all without breaking the bank or your annual leave allowance.

In Conclusion: Winter is Coming… and It’s Looking Pretty Great

So, whether you’re a skier, city-breaker, market-lover, or just someone desperate to escape the grey drizzle for a weekend, Aer Lingus’ new routes have your name (and probably your passport) written all over them.

Your winter plans? Sorted. The choice is yours – choose between Prague Czech Republic, Geneva Switzerland or Turin Italy!
