Fly Direct from Dublin to Barbados with Aer Lingus!

Barbados Tourism Marketing & Ireland has warmly welcomed today’s announcement that Aer Lingus will launch a new direct service from Dublin (DUB) to Barbados (BGI), with seats going on sale from today, Thursday, February 12th.



The new route represents a significant milestone for Barbados in the Irish market, providing direct connectivity between the two islands. Operated by Aer Lingus’ new fuel-efficient Airbus A321XLR aircraft, the service will strengthen ties between the two destinations while offering Irish travellers a seamless and sustainable way to get to Barbados.

The launch of Aer Lingus’ new Dublin–Barbados service comes at a time of strengthening ties between the two countries. Barbados established a resident embassy in Dublin in 2024 — headed by H.E. Ambassador Cleviston Haynes — signalling a commitment to deeper bilateral engagement and building on historic connections that date back centuries. The move reflects a shared ambition to expand cooperation across tourism, culture and education while making travel and business links closer than ever.

Barbados continues to position itself as a leading Caribbean destination for Irish travellers. Known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, Barbados has a diverse food offering that ranges from authentic street food to premium dining options.



The premier Caribbean destination is also home to a number of popular festivals including The Crop Over Festival (July and August), Barbados Food and Rum Festival (November) and Run Barbados Marathon and Wellness Weekend (December), plus many more, ensuring that Barbados truly has something for everyone.

Flight Schedule

The service will initially run on a two-month period, beginning March 31st and finishing May 31st. Flights will run three times weekly on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Fares are available from €229 each way, including taxes, fees and carrier charges. Flights will depart Dublin at 13:50, arriving at Barbados’ Grantley Adams International Airport at 18:00, while the return service will depart Bridgetown at 19:30 and arrive back in Dublin at 08:40 the following morning.
