ITTN’s Emer Roche was in attendance as Aer Lingus and Great Lakes USA co-hosted travel trade and media, for lunch yesterday, to celebrate the relaunch of Aer Lingus’ Dublin to Minneapolis-St Paul transatlantic route; which takes off again next week.
Hosting the lunch, at Darwin’s Restaurant in Dublin were Great Lakes USA’s Lynsey Lamont and Aer Lingus’ Jenny Rafter and Yvonne Muldoon.
Jenny and Yvonne warmly welcomed guests and expressed their excitement about the launch of the route. Yvonne commented on the growth of transatlantic routes she has borne witness to since the beginning of her career. Also, in attendance was travel journalist, Ed Finn who shared with the group that he has a seat on the inaugural flight next week!
Speaking on behalf of the ITAA, Angela Walsh said: ”I’d like to thank Jenny, Yvonne and all the team. You fly that Aer Lingus flag so well. You are amazing ambassadors for the brand and for Ireland. The buzz is back in the airport, in fact it’s back in the travel industry, in general.”
Vanessa Holohan (Club Travel) was the lucky winner of a pair of tickets for flights to explore the ‘twin cities’.
