FAQs - booking Ireland flights

  • How do you get downtown from the Dublin Airport?

    You can take a public bus from the airport into the city of Dublin. The airport bus will take you to Sutton Station. From here, you can take another bus to your final destination. Go to Zone 15, which is close to the atrium, an attached hall to the airport. Taxis are also available for transportation from the airport into the city. The taxi stand is outside of Terminals 1 and 2.

  • What airport should I choose when flying into Ireland?

    Dublin is one of the largest cities in Ireland. It is also just a short drive from the big cities of Louth and Belfast, making this a convenient airport to fly into if you're visiting eastern or northern Ireland. If you're visiting southern Ireland, you might want to fly into Cork Airport, which is a short drive from the cities of Cork and Waterford. Shannon Airport is within close proximity of Munster.

  • Are there car rental companies at any of the airports?

    There are numerous car rental agencies at the Dublin Airport. The offices are outside of Terminal 2. At Cork Airport, the car rental agencies are located in the arrival hall. If you've flown into Shannon Airport, you can also rent a car at the airport. Again, you'll find the offices for car rental services in its arrival hall.

  • Where can I park my car at Chicago O'Hare Airport (ORD)?

    At Chicago O'Hare Airport, there is a parking lot right next to the international terminal. International Lot D is for short-term parking only. If you need long-term parking, you'll probably want to park in one of the economy lots. These are off-site, and a shuttle will take you to the airport after parking your car.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Chicago to Ireland?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Chicago to Ireland.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from Chicago to Ireland?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from Chicago to Ireland with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Chicago to Ireland?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from Chicago to Ireland up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Vegetarian food options were pretty tasteless. Gob of rice with absolutely no protein, barely any vegetables, and poorly seasoned. Food was the major disappointment of an otherwise good flight experience. However, food is a differentiator on long haul flights.

Vegetarian food options were pretty tasteless. Gob of rice with absolutely no protein, barely any vegetables, and poorly seasoned. Food was the major disappointment of an otherwise good flight experience. However, food is a differentiator on long haul flights.

We were an hour and a half late, which caused my rental car company to cancel my reservation. We had no car, had to take a taxi to our hotel, and then a taxi back to get a new car the next day. Sometimes lack of on-time performance can end up costing the passenger a lot of money, none of which is covered by the airline that operated the late flight.

Overall good experience. But seats were small and uncomfortable for the price. Good entertainment, staff friendly and attentive.

Flight was delayed no information given really . No food whatsoever on the plane . I think you should be able to put that on the app so people have a chance to buy food bring it with them . They said plane was very busy on way over but there should be enough for both flights as we pay full price for the service. No information or very slow on the app about the delays . Staff were lovely it’s not their fault so company not fare to passengers or staff .

Smooth quiet flight take off and landing both excellent. Food was mediocre. Boarding at gate was disorganized and unacceptable.

My only complaint is that during my 8-hour-long flight, the flight attendants came around with the coffee and tea cart twice instead of the alcoholic beverage cart. I would rather sleep on a plane than rush to the bathroom to take a dump. I asked the flight attendant if I could have a beer instead of coffee or tea. Unfortunately, she said the bar is closed. That tells me that she was too lazy to get me a beer on the plane. I was not happy about that.

Caring & friendly crew. Most important: got us SAFELY to our destination!

Friendly flight attendants, decent food if you can eat dairy.

Very good trip. Nice clean aircraft. Helpful and friendly crew.

Other than Air Lingus not loading one piece of luggage on our flight from Dublin to Barcelona, with it arriving one day after we arrived in Barcelona, all was good.
