Fare Deposit

Dream of going a bit further for your next holiday, but can't afford it right now? Don't put your plans off forever, just spread the cost of your flight. If you're flying to North America, our Fare Deposit scheme means you can delay paying 50% of your total fare until 60 days before you travel. You get to relax and start planning the trip of a lifetime.  

Fare Deposit applies on direct Aer Lingus flights to and from North America (except Saver fares) and lets you pay a deposit of 50% of your total fare and pay the balance 60 days before you travel.

All passenger names must be included at the time of booking.

A confirmation email with a booking reference will be forwarded to you. When you wish to confirm your booking and pay the balance, simply go to the Manage Trip facility on aerlingus.com, input your booking reference to access your reservation and complete your booking.

A reminder email will be sent to you letting you know when your final balance is due. Bookings must be confirmed with a full payment prior to the expiry time/date specified here.
