If you made your booking directly with Aer Lingus or on aerlingus.com and are impacted, we will contact you and advise you of your booking options.

If you booked through a third-party (travel or online agent or another airline), we will notify the original sales agent of the change to your itinerary. To receive updates directly, please contact us to update your contact details.
