Aer Lingus strike is off

Aer Lingus’ pilots union has suspended its planned strike for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

Though the airline will resume its full trans-Atlantic schedule, four flights remain canceled—including two affecting Chicago:

* Tuesday’s flight EI 105 from Dublin to New York and flight EI 104 from New York to Dublin.
* Wednesday’s flight EI 123 from Dublin to Chicago and flight EI 122 from Chicago to Dublin.

Aer Lingus has daily flights between Chicago and Dublin; only Wednesday’s flights are affected.

The Irish airline said reservations are still intact for customers who have been rebooked on alternate airlines and dates, and that passengers can change back without penalty. Bookings made via aerlingus.com can be altered online.

Passengers traveling within the next 24 hours can call 516-622-4010 to change travel plans.
