<\/p>\nAmerican Airlines pausing service from Pittsburgh International Airport to Los Angeles<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTO BE PART OF THIS EXCITING NIGHT. AND THEY\u2019RE OFF. THE FIRST DIRECT FLIGHT FROM PITTSBURGH TO DUBLIN ON AIR LINGUS IS ON ITS WAY, AND IT WAS FULL OF PITTSBURGH AND IRISH PRIDE. I\u2019M JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE AND HAPPY TO BE HERE ON THE FIRST. THE MAIDEN VOYAGE, A LONG TIME COLLABORATION AMONG AER LINGUS. PITTSBURGH, THE STEELERS AND COUNTLESS OTHER PARTNERS TO MAKE THE DIRECT ROUTE A REALITY. SO STRONG CONNECTION. A LOT OF IRISH IMMIGRANTS LIVE IN PITTSBURGH. THERE\u2019S A LOT OF MUTUAL INVESTMENT BETWEEN PITTSBURGH AND DUBLIN AND DUBLIN AND PITTSBURGH. SO THIS WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME. IT JUST TOOK THE ARRIVAL OF THIS AIRCRAFT TO MAKE IT WORK. THAT PLANE IS A 184 SEAT AIRBUS A321NEO LR, FEATURING ECONOMY SEATS AND A BUSINESS CLASS CABIN WITH 16 LIE FLAT SEATS. IT LANDED IN PITTSBURGH JUST BEFORE SEVEN. IT\u2019S MY FIRST TIME IN PITTSBURGH, AND WHAT A WARM, BEAUTIFUL WELCOME AND TOOK OFF TO DUBLIN BEFORE NINE. OH MY TRUE LOVE, ARE YOU. PITTSBURGH IRISH CELEBRATION AT THE GATE, COMPLETE WITH MUSIC. IRISH DANCERS ROCK THE PANTHER AND STEELY MCBEAM. AND OF COURSE, SHAMROCK EAT\u2019N PARK COOKIES. THE TIMING COULDN\u2019T HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR MONDAY NIGHT\u2019S PASSENGERS. WE ACTUALLY WERE GOING TO FLY YESTERDAY AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS AND WE CHANGED OUR PLANS. PASSENGERS LIKE LUCY MORRISON, WHO\u2019S FROM IRELAND BUT LIVES IN MORGANTOWN. VERY EMOTIONAL. ALL THIS TODAY. I DIDN\u2019T EXPECT I WAS I DID SAY I HOPE THEY MIGHT HAVE SOME CHAMPAGNE, BUT THIS IS JUST AWESOME. IT\u2019S SO CONVENIENT. AND YEAH, I\u2019M DELIGHTED. I HOPE I GET TO GO HOME MORE OFTEN. AND FOR JENNIFER, HERCULES AND HER SON ZACH, WHO ARE HEADED ON THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME, IT WAS A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR MY 50TH BIRTHDAY TRIP OF MY DREAMS TO. CRY. WE WERE KIND OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS FIRST OPPORTUNITY OF THE DIRECT FLIGHT, SO IT KIND OF JUST ENDED UP BEING PERFECT TIMING. SO YEAH, SHE\u2019S ALWAYS WANTED TO GO. IT\u2019S BEEN HER DREAM. SO I WANTED TO MAKE IT TRUE. THE NEXT FLIGHT IS ON WEDNESDAY. THE ROUTE WILL BE OPERATING FOUR TIMES A WEEK. MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY AND SUNDAY, COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY AT PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. I\u2019M FELICITY TAYLOR, PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR. FELICITY. THANK YOU. PLUS THE THREE BRIDGES OVER THE ALLEGHENY RIVER DOWNTOWN LIT UP IN THE COLORS OF IRELAND OVER THE WEEKEND. THE BRIDGE T\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
