If you’ve been dreaming of trading the Irish drizzle for turquoise waters and golden sands, Aer Lingus has the perfect escape on the horizon. The airline’s brand-new direct service to Cancún, Mexico, takes flight from 6 January 2026, marking the first time Aer Lingus connects Ireland directly to Mexico.
Running three times a week until 29 April, the new route makes it easier than ever to head straight for the sun—no layovers, no fuss, just a smooth journey aboard Aer Lingus’ spacious A330-300 aircraft. Ideal for winter-weary travellers looking to defrost and recharge, this seasonal route slots perfectly into your new year getaway plans.
But Cancún is more than just a pretty beach (though it certainly has those in abundance). This sun-drenched destination is a vibrant blend of ancient history, cultural treasures, and mouth-watering cuisine. Picture yourself exploring the ruins of Tulum or Chichén Itzá, snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, and tucking into local favourites like Lobster Pizza, zesty ceviche, or crispy Marquesitas.
And it’s not just Irish travellers who benefit—those coming from the UK and across Europe can easily connect in Dublin, turning Aer Lingus into the go-to choice for a stress-free escape to the Mexican Caribbean.
So, mark the calendar. January can’t come fast enough. Book your flight now at aerlingus.com.
