Hello all, does anyone have any experience of Aer Lingus, MAN TO MCO via Dublin. Any info would be great, thanks.

I think that on some days that involves 3 flights - MAN-DUB & DUB-JFK or BOS on Aer Lingus and then Jetblue from there to MCO. If you get a really good fare you might think it's worthwhile.

I think the the direct DUB-MCO operates seasonally 3 days a week but tends to cost more.

If I was doing it I'd go Liverpool-DUB on a separate ticket on Ryanair and book DUB-MCO on Aer Lingus. That way you avoid £30 each Air Departure Tax because your international flight leaves from Ireland.

Although it doesn't always seem to happen, you can usually do the US Immigration in Dublin so no queueing when you arrive.

Immigration is not available on the Dublin to Orlando Flight in Dublin. The direct flight is Tuesday Thursday and Saturday. If you book separate tickets do think about luggage as you will not get the luggage allowance through if you go Ryanair. That will end up more than £30 in baggage charges. If you book through ticket also if there is ash problem they have to get you back to Uk not jsut to Ireland !!
Flight is good and usually on time. Have to pay for alcohol but up to date seat back tv's etc.
have used regularly for past 2 years and no problems so far.!!

One option might be to book an open jaw DUB-MCO-MAN with a Rynair LPL-DUB.

Personally, I'd use them if I could make a significant saving but, otherwise, there are better and more convenient options from the UK.

Orlando flight does not clear US immigration in Dublin.. flights to New York*, Boston and Chicago clear US Immigration in Dublin. (*later afternoon flights clear immigration in the USA on arrival)
