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!

Do you have any tips for my flight to Recess?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Recess could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Recess?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Recess in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
