Aer Lingus has been announced as a new partner to ClickandGo.com and the Travel Department, assisting them in providing an extensive range of holidays from Ireland on aerlingus.com.

In major news for the Irish travel industry and Irish consumers, "Holidays with Aer Lingus" will combine the flexibility of scheduled flights with quality assured accommodation and transfers, giving holidaymakers the complete holiday package solution.

There is a wide range of sun holidays, city breaks, escorted holidays and cruise holidays to most Aer Lingus destinations and this convenient one stop shop solution will give the consumer total flexibility, choice, value and protection.

"Holidays with Aer Lingus" are fully bonded and protected against ash cloud, snow and other unforeseen circumstances, a huge plus for the consumer.

The prices are very competitive and offer excellent value for money. There is an innovative holiday price comparison tool to show the consumer where they can get the same holiday for less by moving their planned departure date by a few days.

"Holidays with Aer Lingus" is a joint partnership between Aer Lingus and ClickandGo.com and The Travel Department, two Irish owned travel firms with extensive experience in a wide range of holidays.

Stephen Kavanagh, Chief Commercial Officer at Aer Lingus said: "Aer Lingus is delighted to enter into this partnership with ClickandGo.com and The Travel Department. The partnership will provide customers with the option to book a complete package holiday on aerlingus.com."

"Our partnership with Aer Lingus provides the travelling public with more flexibility, convenience and a secure and protected holiday," added Paul Hackett of ClickandGo.com and The Travel Department.

"There is a definite move from charter to scheduled flights over the years and although people like the idea of a 'DIY' holiday, to have the complete holiday solution with total flexibility all on one site, is a major advantage. By partnering with Aer Lingus we can offer an extensive range of holidays to almost every destination offered by the airline," Paul concluded.
