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.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from Chicago to Ireland?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from Chicago to Ireland is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • 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.

Awful customer service. What you are told 100% depends on who you talk to.

I love flying with them, the long-haul was fantastic. The short flight from Dublin --> Switzerland was horrible though. Most narrow seats I ever had, first and only time in my life I couldn't even close the seatbelt in seat 1A which was very embarrassing so I had to sit in the middle, because that seatbeld was 20cm longer. No idea why seat 1A would have a much shorter belt, it's just ridicilous. Also I hate the fixed seats, way too narrow.

OK overall. Flight was delayed Crew on flight was good

Late late late. Delayed and arrived an hour late for a 1 hour 45 minute connection. Every time. Poor record for this company. I try to fly any other carrier first.

I flew economy class. Seats were very good and the crew was excellent

Fast and sensible boarding was absolutely amazing. But extortionate wifi and seats that barely moved, making me unable to sleep, didn't do a lot of favors.

I appteciate the very courteous staff. The flight was good. Something that wasn't good was that my bag was only checked as far as Dublin and I had a connecting flight to Vienna. (That was a mistake the ORD desk made.) Fortunately the desk at DUB was able to re-tag without me having to re-check in (which initially it seemed I might have to do.)

It was excellent! The plane left Chicago early. Arrived in Dublin early. The crew was excellent! It was a great experience.

Horrible. Garbage airline. Due to the strike we got a replacement plane/crew. I didn't get my exit row seat I paid for. Food was horrible. Plane was hot and didn't have AC vents.

Are Longus was fine. I booked thru Kayak and was unable to get my business class seat early. Sat next to galley. Crew forgot to wake me for breakfast.
