Aer Lingus has agreed a new distribution capability (NDC) with travel technology giant Expedia Group.
The partnership will allow Expedia customers to get the full range of fares when booking Aer Lingus flights on the tech firm’s booking platform.
It will also simplify the booking process for them, allowing Expedia users to build tailor-made holidays and even make changes to their flight itinerary.
The deal basically gives Expedia users the same benefits as those booking Aer Lingus flights direct from the airline.
Expedia Group customers flying across the Atlantic with Aer Lingus will also experience the additional convenience of US Pre-Clearance at both Dublin Airport and Shannon Airport.
Susanne Carberry, Chief Customer Officer, Aer Lingus, said: “Aer Lingus is delighted to partner with Expedia Group to offer our best value fares and seamless connections between North America and Ireland, and indeed the rest of Europe. At Aer Lingus, our mission is to go above and beyond for our customers to ensure we make every journey count. We look forward to saying ‘You’re Very Welcome’ to Expedia’s travel lovers who choose to fly with us.”
Susan Spinney, Senior Vice President of Trips partnerships, Expedia Group, said: “We’re excited to expand our offerings with Aer Lingus, opening a world of possibilities for customers crafting their dream journeys across North America and Europe. Our commitment remains steadfast: providing customers with the widest range of choices, competitive fares, and personalised experiences to make every trip unforgettable.”
