Aer Lingus to launch new winter sun route to Mexico's Cancun in the new year
Three flights a week will operate from 6 January 2026 to 29 April 2026 using a wide-body Airbus A330-300. One-way tickets from Dublin will start from £246pp and Aer Lingus will offer add-on fares from UK airports. Besides Cancun region's array of all-inclusive hotels, it is also home to archaeological sites like Chichen Itza. Lynne Embleton, Aer Lingus chief executive, said: 'Our new direct route from Dublin to Cancun introduces a vibrant new destination to our network and further increases Aer Lingus' winter sun offering. "Our research highlights a strong appetite amongst customers for new travel experiences, particularly seasonal destinations beyond the peak summer period. Mexico, with its tropical climate, caters to the growing consumer demand for winter sun, while also offering a rich blend of history, culture, and cuisine.'
