The new route offers the only direct flight from Dublin to the ‘Lone Star’ state

American Airlines has launched a new flight from Dublin (DUB) to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), connecting the two for the first time. The summer seasonal flight operates through 28 September, 2019, and is flown on American’s state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

American celebrated the launch of the new route with a gate event at DUB with team members, customers, daa leadership, travel and tourism trade partners, members of the media, and representation from the U.S. Embassy in Ireland.

“The new direct flight from Dublin to Texas will open up exciting travel possibilities for Irish consumers,” said Caitriona Toner, Country Sales Manager for Ireland for American Airlines. “The flight offers customers a chance to experience Dallas and neighbouring Fort Worth, famous for being world-leading business hubs as well as offering authentic Texan food, culture, shopping and hospitality. Or for customers who wish to continue their onward journey, American’s largest hub Dallas/ Fort Worth offers up to 900 daily departures to destinations across North America, the Caribbean, Latin America and Canada.”

Customers travelling from Dublin to DFW can choose from 30 Flagship Business seats featuring direct aisle access, lie-flat seats complemented by a range of exclusively designed bedding by sleep experts Casper, chef inspired menus, and the use of Bang & Olufsen noise-cancelling headphones. Flagship Business customers can also access American’s recently opened Flagship Lounge, including new Flagship Dining in DFW, where customers can relax before their flight with à la carte dining, premium wine, champagne, and cocktails.

The aircraft offers 21 Premium Economy seats. American’s Premium Economy experience includes priority boarding, a larger leather seat with 38 inches of legroom, the use of noise-reducing headphones, a branded amenity kit, Casper blanket and pillow, and an enhanced meal service with complimentary wine, beer and spirits.

In the Main Cabin there are 234 seats, 36 of those are ‘Main Cabin Extra’ and include extra legroom. Across all cabins, customers can access inflight Wi-Fi, personal inflight entertainment and complimentary beer and wine.
