| Travel to Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way through Shannon Airport in less than 7 hours from the East Coast! Shannon Airport is a perfect gateway to discover some of the most stunning locations on the island of Ireland including the Cliffs of Moher, The Burren and the Ring of Kerry. An international airport with a regional feel, Shannon currently offers daily non-stop transatlantic flights to New York JFK, NY Newark and Boston with airlines such as Aer Lingus, and United. Shannon Airport also operates US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Preclearance which means visitors will return to the US as domestic passengers – returning to the US from Shannon is a breeze. The airport’s newly introduced security screening technology abolishes the 100ml rule, eliminating the need to remove liquids, gels and electronics from cabin bags. In addition, the airport operates a combined TSA/EU checkpoint which means only one security check is required, it is the only airport in the world to have this system in place. A short drive to Limerick, Shannon Airport is also less than 90 minutes from the cities of Galway and Cork. Destination highlights include: Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, Knappogue Castle and Skellig Michael – a UNESCO World Heritage site. The region is also a major “foodie” destination, including “must see” spots like the Burren Smokehouse, The Wild Honey Inn, and Aniar, a Michelin Starred restaurant located in Galway’s West End. Shannon Airport is also conveniently located close to some of Ireland’s leading luxury accommodations including Dromoland Castle, Gregans Castle, and the Park Hotel Kenmare. It’s an ideal entry point to tee it up at some of the finest golf courses in the world at Lahinch, Ballybunion, Doonbeg, Tralee and Adare Manor. The stunning property at Adare Manor will host The Ryder Cup in 2027, while the upcoming KPMG Women’s Irish Open will take place at Dromoland Castle. |
