Flights from the United States to Ireland: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from the United States to Ireland 
DaveFlew with Aer Lingus-Sept 2026
The Dublin Airport has NO rail service, so if making a rail connection, solid plans need to be made beforehand about where to go and how to get there.
IsabellaFlew with United Airlines-Sept 2026
My only tip is to put a small bag underneath bc you won't have room for much else.
JonathonFlew with Aer Lingus-Jul 2026
Don’t sit on the inside seat during a lay flat flight. Don’t order the beef short ribs, they’re kinda fatty, and chewy.. Try all the whiskey.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Apr 2026
Make sure to double and triple check that the flight you book actually exists before going to the airport.
LisaFlew with Aer Lingus-Dec 2025
Look at Jet Blue and Delta. May be a bit more expensive but keep an eye out for fare reductions and book early.
Mary MargaretFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2025
Some people may be required to check their carryon bags, depending on flight, plane size, check-in crew, etc. Also, taller people should purchase aisle seats.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Jul 2025
Whatever airline you choose, spring for a class with more leg and overall body room than economy (or whatever the cheapest class is called).
himanshuFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2025
Eat and drink before boarding. Snacks. Hand gel and surface wipes . Don't expect a window if in a window row.
BarbaraFlew with Aer Lingus-May 2024
Pack what you need in a carryon since it is likely you'll arrive without luggage.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United States

  • If you are planning a flight from the US to Ireland, you will most likely arrive at one of the three major international airports in the Republic of Ireland: Dublin Airport (DUB), which services the eastern counties, Cork Airport (ORK), servicing the southern counties, and Shannon Airport (SNN), serving the western counties.
  • Although Dublin Airport and Cork Airport rank ahead in terms of passenger traffic, Shannon Airport is the most centrally located of the three and, therefore, it allows for greater access to the interior and western counties. It is also an excellent staging point for exploring the Aran Islands off the coast of County Galway.
  • Flying into Dublin Airport puts you in the nation’s capital and allows for exploration of County Wicklow, County Kildare and County Meath, whereas Cork Airport provides excellent access to County Cork, County Kerry and County Limerick.
  • The Heartland of Ireland, which includes the counties of Roscommon, Tullamore, Mullingar and Offaly, lies midway between Dublin Airport to the east and Shannon Airport to the west, so a flight into either one should provide ready access. However, you are more likely to get better public transportation out of the capital city of Dublin.
  • If you’re looking for inexpensive, nonstop flights to Dublin, Ireland, why not consider flying aboard Norwegian Air International from New York Stewart Airport (SWF)? Located about an hour outside of Manhattan in Orange County, it’s a good alternative to the hustle and bustle of Newark Liberty Airport (EWF) and JFK Airport in addition to being only a short train ride away.

The air hostess was excellent. I have taken so many flight domestic and international, this is the first time the air hostess was so caring. She was a delight

On time, easy boarding. Anytime you sit in an economy seat, it’s uncomfortable. New plane and the bathrooms were in the galley at the back of the plane which seemed odd.

It was fine for the most part. But the volume on the announcements was way too loud, and the cabin temperature was chilly. We had the hardest landing I've ever experienced- I think it hurt my back, and the tires squealed when we touched down.

Great, except the canon was so cold. Even the flight attendants put jackets on

Return Premium Economy section to the smaller section with comfortable seats. Add internet, upgrade the meals, and upgrade/update the Movies and Music onboard.

Did not like the check in guy quibbling over a couple pounds at the luggage weigh in

Boarding was 2 hours late and then we were delayed another 5 hours on the tarmac. I'm sure the crew were also tired, but some of them were rather snappy. The special dinner I ordered was not served, and they only served a tapas box on takeoff and breakfast before landing. That was disappointing in premium economy. However United was good at rebooking my connecting flight.

It was pretty good, they give a small blanket, neck pillow and earphones. The only bad thing was not big enough leg room for your bag and feet. They gave us a snack, dinner, and breakfast on flight and food was good considering it was on a plane

I bought this ticket for my daughter. She had to pay for her carry on bag to be checked. My understanding is that transatlantic flights included carry on and personal item The nickeling and diming fo legacy carriers has stooped to an all time low. So sad.

The Economy Plus rows weren’t as roomy as expected, and the meal service left a lot to be desired for.

Cabin crew was one of the worst in memory. Poor in delivering service - in some cases skipping it altogether. Someone in baggage handling managed to steal my electronic bag tracker from Apple.

I buy ticket from you and when I go to the airport aer Lingus they tell me you need travel visa for Ireland for one hour travel so when I buy tickets there no requirement I need transit, visa or not so when I try to cancel my ticket or change my ticket, you guys say there is no refund so you u guys take all my money which is very disappointed

The aircraft was clean and relatively comfortable- for an aircraft seat. The entertainment was good. The food was terrible, especially the “breakfast “ which was a cereal bar, and just not good. The crew were amazing, professional and no complaints there. The food was so bad, I know for my return, it will be inedible.

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.

Food was mediocre, but as expected in economy class on an airline. Wrap was ice cold , my son’s served by a steward on the next aisle was warm . As expected, but at least heat the food up a bit. No frills, but it’s economy. Excellent free WiFi was a bonus

I flew Aer Lingus Business class for the first time. Having flown economy a few times, I was familiar with the airline, and happy enough with economy. I’ve certainly been in nicer economy airlines before, but Aer Lingus is usually very reasonable, and I find the staff to be kind and have an Irish sense of humor and accommodation. The business experience was good, in that you got superior service to the back, lay down seats, better food and drinks, and more attentive service. However, the plane was a bit older, the WiFi was slow(not Starlink) and the pods were too close to one another for privacy, or function. When the Oder lady to the left of me fell asleep(fully reclined) there was no way for me to escape without having to wake her and put her seat all the way up. That lead to me being stuck with luggage I couldn’t put away in a cramped(for business) space, and no way to use the restroom for almost the whole 8 1/2 hour trip. I ended up trying to sleep with a large backpack blocking my feet. The food was good for plane food, but not great. The drinks were great, shame I couldn’t have had more, but I’d have peed myself. I love a window, but next time maybe an isle seat. Overall, the experience was good, not great, but an expensive good experience during which I got zero sleep. I’d do it again, but it’d have to be a deal.

The direct flight was a superb idea; please continue. The seats were less than comfortable for such a long flight.

The check in and boarding process was smooth, and the flight was fine.

We had a wonderful experience with Aer Lingus. The seats were too close for the long trip. The crew was absolutely perfect. They were so caring and thoughtful! My husband did not have a good experience with Air Lingus on the phone when trying to take care of getting better seating because he is disabled and needed a wheelchair prior to the day of our flight! Mariam R. in Boston was so helpful with seating and getting help for my husband. Filip Pytka who works for OCS was extremely helpful! He made sure that we had the lift because my husband could not climb the stairs to get onto the airplane. He took us from the gate all the way down to where we needed to be.

Very good flight that left on time and arrived earlier than anticipated, which was a plus! The crew members were very welcoming and helpful. However, the temperature on the flight was very cold - almost to the point of extreme discomfort. Additionally, requiring passengers to pay $8 for headphones to access the JetBlue entertainment was disappointing. Those earbud jacks are not used with most technology and would not be able to be used. There was no option to use Bluetooth for my own earbuds. Beyond those inconveniences, the flight was good.

My original flight was cancelled. My replacement flight was delayed over 2 hours. I lost my whole day in NY

Delays were crazy long (over an hour) both for boarding and baggage claim

awful expereince. boarding was a mess and not communicated, then we sat on a hot plane and were at risk of getting kicked off

2 hour delay and a lack of air conditioning on the plane. Not a good combination

Fabulous! This was the first time we've flown with JetBlue and the entire experience was flawless!

First time flying JetBlue and my perception changed. Love it.

Poor, had a 5+ hours delay. Kept sitting in the aircraft with three kids. It was terrible

The plane was filthy and worn - the seat pockets were stuffed with tattered food and torn pamphlets. The cleaning crew that came on as we were deboarding were grabbing handfulls of trash and perfunctorily wiping down tables with dishrags. It's been a while since I flew Jetblue and it used to be a great experience. After this flight I will avoid flying Jetblue again if there is any alternative.

I have flown Jet Blue many times between JFK and SFO. I appreciate how clean the planes are, the ability to select my onboard entertainment and the flight crews have always been amazing! Unfortunately, my trip from SFO to JFK on August 23 was unusual. I arrived early at SFO for the 12:00 noon scheduled boarding. The flight was supposed to take off at 12:45pm but after sitting for a while, the plane had to return to the gate to have a generator inspected. After deplaning and then reboarding, we eventually took off around 3:30 pm. It was explained to the passengers that because the plane was using a backup generator, additional fuel was needed and the flight would take longer than originally scheduled. We were originally supposed to arrive at JFK at 9:32 pm but instead, arrived at midnight. Unfortunately, I was exhausted for the funeral I attended the next morning. As a passenger, I have always expected that the plane will be in good mechanical order and that all parts will function as expected. I'm not entirely certain that if I fly Jet Blue in the future, that I will have the same level of confidence that I had become accustomed to. Thanks for the opportunity to provide this feedback.
