There’s a very special dog in Yale University who I left mid-lick (him, not me) but I dare say we can resume where we left off now we can get Connecticut with Aer Lingus.
Yes, Ireland’s national airline carrier is expanding its transatlantic roster with its second new route in weeks.
Hartford, Connecticut, marks Aer Lingus’ 16th transatlantic route from Ireland.
This follows the recent announcement of Cleveland, Ohio in its summer 2023 schedule.
With daily flights resuming from 26 March next year to Bradley International Airport.
Connect the other way
And of course they are coming the other way to Dublin.
And onto 28 UK and European airports including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and Prague, plus many more.
Yes, and we’ll be only too happy to return the hospitality they showed us earlier this year.
So we’ve brought you the charms of Handsome Dan XIX, Yale, apizza et al in New Haven, Connecticut.
Book Hartford
But the state capital Hartford has much to keep you there before venturing further afield to New Haven.
The bookish among us, of course, know that Hartford boasted Mark Twain and his next-door neighbour Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Not surprising really when you consider the New England state’s academic pedigree.
And Yale, the alma mater of five Presidents.
And count them nnnnineteen Handsome Dans, its early-18th century English bulldog mascot.
Fares from Dublin to Hartford start from €199 each way, including taxes and charges.
So get Connecticut with Aer Lingus.
