A new seasonal flight route between Bordeaux and Cork will open in May 2025.
Operated by Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus, the route will run three times per week – Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday – until September 2025, leaving France at 15:55 and arriving at 16:45 in Ireland.
Return flights from Cork will run three times per week on the same days.
Tickets begin at €59.99 one-way.
A flight between the two cities was previously operated by Ryanair prior to the low-cost carrier’s departure from Bordeaux-Mérignac airport earlier this year.

Aer Lingus currently operates a flight to Dublin from the French city.
The new Bordeaux route is part of the carrier’s summer expansion, with flights to Bilbao also set to be available from Ireland’s second-largest city.
“These new routes from Cork provide our customers with more opportunities to explore European culture. Bilbao and Bordeaux are both rich in history and heritage, and we know our customers will enjoy new direct connections to discover these destinations. These routes are fantastic additions to Aer Lingus’ network,” said Reid Moody, Chief Strategy and Planning Officer at Aer Lingus.
