AER Lingus has launched a flash sale for two new American destinations – but bargain hunters need to be quick.
The Irish airline has knocked €100 off return flights from Dublin Airport to Minneapolis and Denver.

The offer is available on seats up to October 26.
However, passengers only have until May 6 to secure their spots.
The airline said: “Have you heard the news?
“Minneapolis-St. Paul flights are officially back in the air and we’re also flying to Denver for the first time on 17 May.
“To celebrate, we’re giving you €100 off return flights to these brilliant destinations, plus €200 off return Business Class fares!
“€100 discount on Economy and €200 discount on Business Class applies to return direct transatlantic flights to Minneapolis-St. Paul and Denver.
“€50 discount applies each way on Economy fares, €100 discount applies each way on Business Class fares.
“Discount applies to fares only and when the fare is €0, there is no discount.
“Fares are return and include taxes, charges and admin fee. Saturday night stay required.

“All prices are subject to terms and conditions and are subject to availability. Limited availability during holidays and special events.”
Meanwhile, Head of Customer Experience at Aer Lingus Marc Giles has revealed the perks that come along with flying business class – even the most secretive ones.
Marc says that all Aer Lingus staff “work tirelessly” to ensure that anyone who flies with the airline has a positive experience.
But when it comes to the getting honest about what business class is really like, Marc wasn’t holding back.
He said: “Upon entering the exclusive Business Class cabin, customers can get settled in to their spacious seat featuring a whole range of benefits – full lie-flat seats with a 2-metre long bed with massage option and in-seat power with both AC plug and USB A&C ports.
“Customers will find a bottle of water, welcoming pillow and soft fabric duvet at their seat, along with their inflight menu listing the delicious choices available on board, as well as an amenity kit featuring products from luxury Irish skincare specialists, VOYA.
“Aer Lingus’ crew will invite customers to choose from Champagne, juice, water, or the exclusive Aer Lingus Signature Cocktail.
“There’s also the same extensive entertainment options as in Economy, with the added benefit of comfy noise-cancelling headphones to provide the most immersive experience.
“We offer unlimited free wifi to our Business Class customers, allowing them to stay connected throughout their flight.
“After take-off, we offer a full complimentary bar service with a range of award-winning wines selected by our partners at Febvre, along with beers, spirits and liqueurs.
“As a pre-dinner nibble, we offer a tasty combo of crumbly drinks biscuits with a balsamic onion chutney from Burren Balsamics.”
Unlike the heated up meals served on long-haul flights for those in economy, the meals given in business are on a different level.
Marc said: “Our Business Class menus are refreshed regularly to ensure that the meals reflect seasonality, with a focus on fresh produce.
“All of our meals are developed by the culinary experts at Dnata, who cater for some of the most premium airlines worldwide.
“Our cuisine features the finest Irish produce and a fusion of delicious world flavours, inspired by where we fly to.
“Served on white chinaware and with metal cutlery and glassware, this really is a restaurant-style experience in the sky.
“For customers on shorter overnight flights departing the USA, we offer an Express Dining option, allowing customers to have a quick bite to eat so they can maximise rest time.”
With far more leg room, unlimited wifi and a menu worth of meal options, there is one extra perk that comes with flying business – the airport lounge.
Marc said: “Business Class customers flying into Dublin Airport, Aer Lingus has a Revival Lounge where customers can freshen up with a shower, coffee and snacks.
“There’s even a clothes pressing service for anyone who is heading straight to a meeting and needs to look their best.”
