From May 6th, American will resume seasonal services from Dublin to Chicago O’Hare and Charlotte.
May 6th will amark the return of American’s seasonal flight from Shannon Airport to Philadelphia, now in its fourth year of service and operated by Boeing 757-200 aircraft.
Both flights will feature fully lie-flat, aisle-accessible Business Class suites. These services compliment American’s year-round flight from Dublin to Philadelphia operated by Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
