Flights to Recess

Perched amid the mountains and loughs of Connemara, Recess is a wonderfully romantic flight destination where luxury hotels offer the perfect counterbalance to days spent out in an awe-inspiring natural wilderness.

A flight to Shannon Airport will drop you from the skies down into the bright green countryside of the Republic of Ireland’s magical west. As you approach your flight destination, the blue loughs and glistening grey-green mountains of Connemara may be visible to the north in one of Europe’s most westerly, unspoiled outposts.Flights to Shannon Airport

The international hub recommended for holidays in Connemara is Shannon Airport, which is around 90 miles by road from Recess, via Galway. Shannon Airport is served by UK flights from London Gatwick, London Heathrow and London Stansted, from Birmingham and Manchester.

Although Galway Airport is closer to your final destination, its size, runway length and flight restrictions mean you will be unlikely to be able to book a direct flight from the UK. You’ll save time, expense and the need to transfer to an internal flight by simply booking a flight to Shannon.

Getting to Recess After Your flight

One of the many attractions of Connemara is its glorious isolation in a far-flung natural wilderness. As such, car rental from Expedia is highly recommended for your visit to Recess – bookable in advance, facilitating an easy pick-up as soon as your flight lands. This neatly sidesteps the need to travel by bus to Galway and then onward into the wild western sunset.

By car, the journey could hardly be easier. Galway is clearly signposted from Shannon Airport, straight up the M18 motorway, which becomes the N18 as it approaches Galway. At the junction with the M6, simply follow it to the west and keep on going. Over the Corrib River on the N6, the N59 is signposted, which takes you direct to Recess, some 40 miles distant.

When to Book a Flight to Recess

The obvious choice for a flight to visit Connemara is perhaps summer, when the weather is likely to be most clement, enabling you to get out and about to explore the wondrous landscapes of green marble mountains interspersed with bogs and lakes, fringed at the coast with cliffs and golden beaches.

And yet visitors to this enchanted environment often return to sample new sides of its ever-changing moods – the refreshed colours of spring, the mellow golden days of autumn… even the winds and clouds of winter can provide a unique thrill when the well-deserved luxuries of Recess’s hotels are close by to welcome you home.

What to Remember for Your Flight to Recess

Golf clubs? Fishing gear? Nordic walking poles? Paints, sketchbooks and portable easel? Romantic novel? Shooting, cycling, sea kayaking and surfing are other prime attractions, but don’t worry, some equipment is easier to hire than bring along!

How to survive the flight to Recess?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well organised. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Recess escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Recess?
Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Recess easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
