From today, Norwegian’s daily nonstop flights from Dublin to New York, have increased to a twice-daily service. The new early morning departure at 8:10 am will offer passengers the earliest flight from Ireland to the USA, which lands at 10:30am local time. The convenient flight schedule will give passengers several hours to shop at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in New York State and depart for Dublin at 8:30pm the same evening.
Europe’s third largest low-cost airline, first launched transatlantic flights from Dublin to Stewart International Airport in New York State and Providence, Rhode Island, last summer using brand new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft offering up to 189 seats. Each destination serves as a gateway to the metropolitan areas of New York City and Boston, in addition to major tourist attractions in New York State and New England which include Woodbury Common Premium Shopping Outlets, Cape Cod and Nantucket.
Thomas Ramdahl, Chief Commercial Officer at Norwegian said: “From today our customers can enjoy further flexibility and choice when travelling to New York and the US east coast from Dublin in our brand new aircraft. Our affordable fares and convenient flight times mean a day trip to New York whether for work or pleasure can be a reality for all.”
Roland Figueredo, Director of Marketing & Business Development, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets said: “We are excited that Norwegian has launched its twice-daily flights from Dublin to Stewart International Airport. This gives us an opportunity to welcome additional guests from Ireland and offer them the elevated shopping experience that Woodbury Common Premium Outlets is known for. The route that Norwegian and Woodbury Common have created is convenient, allowing guests to arrive early and pack in a full day of shopping at 250 sought-after, high-end designer stores before heading back home.”
Upon arrival at Stewart International Airport in New York, passengers have the option of direct shuttle bus services into New York City which are timed to meet Norwegian’s flight arrivals. In addition there is also the option for passengers to enjoy a seamless shuttle service between Stewart Airport and Woodbury Common which is ideally timed for passengers arriving on the new morning flight from Dublin. Shuttle buses departing Woodbury Common for Stewart International allow passengers to arrive at the airport three hours before Norwegian’s evening flight departures.
In addition from today all Norwegian flights from Dublin Airport will operate from Terminal 2. By consolidating flight operations into one terminal we can offer passengers a seamless transfer experience between our Scandinavian and US services and improved brand awareness.
