Aer Lingus and United Airlines have begun a codesharing agreement, enabling Aer Lingus customers' access to United Airlines network in North America from 01 November. From April 2009 Aer Lingus will place its code on United Airlines domestic flights, giving customers access to United's entire North American network.
The codeshare agreement will cover all six of Aer Lingus' U.S. gateways, including New York-JFK, Boston, Orlando, Chicago-O'Hare, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Aer Lingus customers will have access to almost 200 additional destinations in the U.S. through United's hubs in Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington. United customers will also benefit from greater access to destinations in Ireland and to destinations in the UK and Continental Europe through Aer Lingus' extensive short-haul network.
