Flights to Killarney

Traditionally, Killarney has been used as the perfect starting point for exploring the natural wonders of the Ring of Kerry; but the town itself has also become an increasingly popular destination in itself, with a huge choice of hotels, quality dining, hostelries and nightlife awaiting as soon as your flight lands.

Flights to Kerry Airport

The handiest flight destination for a relaxing summer holiday in Killarney is Kerry Airport, a relatively small hub just 12 miles from the beautiful lakeside town. Kerry Airport is served by a limited number of airlines from a select set of European cities. You’re in luck if you want to fly from one of Kerry’s partner airports in the UK and Ireland – London-Luton, London-Stansted or Dublin – otherwise, your journey will involve a painless transfer.

Alternatively, it is possible to book a flight to the bigger, busier Shannon Airport which is 50 miles north of Killarney: it may be possible to make savings this way, so best check the prices, factoring in price of a bus from Shannon to Killarney.

Getting to Killarney After Your Flight

Arriving at Kerry Airport, it’s no problem hopping on a bus to Killarney at the terminus situated outside Kerry Airport’s main terminal - you just pay on board Bus Éireann services. This is certainly cheaper than a taxi and it may prove easier than catching a train into Killarney: although close by, the train station is a 10-minute walk from the airport terminal, which often translates into a taxi ride for visitors laden with luggage.

Killarney As a Base for Exploring the Coast

If you are planning to use Killarney as a starting point – and as a thoroughly welcome final destination – for exploring the spectacular mountain, lake and coastal scenery on the winding roads of the Ring of Kerry, it may pay to arrange car rental with Expedia direct from the airport. There are great deals on offer and your car can be picked up as soon as your flight arrives.

When to Book a Flight to Killarney

For the best possible chance of good weather to match the superlative scenery on offer around Killarney, a flight between the months of May and October may make the best sense. Whatever the weather, however, the town of Killarney serves up superior ‘craic’ throughout the year.

As if there weren’t already enough great food, drink and music up for grabs every night in Killarney, since 2012 the Killarney (formerly Westport) Festival of Music & Food has proven a hugely popular draw over two days and nights in late June. There are huge bills of music and comedy, with world-class quality from the music and comedy headliners down, and international gastronomical delicacies galore!

How to survive the flight to Killarney?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be zooming through the airport and discovering Killarney in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Killarney?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Killarney quick and painless. Below you’ll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
