Aer Lingus has confirmed it will add a sixth weekly service between Shannon and New York JFK from March 30th.

The Irish flag-carrier planned to increase from three direct weekly flights to five on the route during summer 2014, but has now announced an additional sixth service.

Outward flight EI111 leaves Shannon at 12:20 and lands at JFK at 14:40 local time.

The return flight, EI110, departs New York at 18:20 and arrives at Shannon at 06:00 the following day.
