Aer Lingus rolled out the red carpet for the Irish talent heading to Los Angeles this week for the Oscars, which take place on Sunday, March 12.
Several members of the cast and crew from Irish nominated films and their families flew to Los Angeles courtesy of Aer Lingus for the prestigious awards ceremony in Hollywood this week, including those from nominated films "An Cailin Ciúin" and "An Irish Goodbye," as well as the family of "Aftersun" nominee Paul Mescal.
Aer Lingus rolled out the red carpet in Dublin Airport for the star-studded flight EI069 to Los Angeles today, March 8.

"Our teams across Aer Lingus will go above and beyond to make it an experience to remember. We wish our Irish stars the very best of luck and hope to have an award or two flying back with us from LA!”
