Shannon Airport

Shannon Airport is about 25 km (16 miles) west of Limerick city, reached on the N19 and N18 roads. The drive usually takes 25 to 30 minutes outside rush hour. Bus Éireann route 343 runs 24 hours a day between the airport and Limerick's Colbert Station, and taxis and pre-booked cars wait outside the terminal.

Shannon Airport is about 20 km (12 miles) south of Ennis, the county town of Clare, a drive of roughly 20 to 25 minutes. Bus Éireann route 330 links the airport and Ennis hourly from early morning to midnight, and Expressway route 51 also stops in Ennis on its way to Galway.

Expressway route 51 runs from Shannon Airport to Galway, calling at Ennis and Gort on the way, with frequent departures through the day. Galway is about 85 km (53 miles) north of the airport, so a rental car, taxi or pre-booked car takes you door to door, which is easier with luggage.

Shannon Airport has one passenger terminal. Arrivals and baggage claim are on the ground floor, and check-in, security and the departure gates are on the first floor. The US preclearance facility is inside the same building, so there is never a terminal to choose when you arrive or depart.

US preclearance lets passengers flying from Shannon to the United States clear US immigration and customs in Ireland before they board. They arrive in the US as domestic passengers and walk straight out at their destination. Allow extra time at Shannon for preclearance, especially on busy summer mornings.

Ryanair flies the most routes from Shannon, to the UK and cities across Europe. Aer Lingus serves London Heathrow, Boston and New York JFK, United flies to Newark and, in summer, Chicago O'Hare, Delta adds summer flights to New York JFK, and Discover Airlines flies to Frankfurt in season.

You need a valid passport and, depending on your nationality, an Irish visa. Ireland is in the EU but not in the Schengen area, so every international arrival goes through Irish passport control, where an officer decides how long you may stay. Irish and British citizens traveling within the Common Travel Area do not need a passport.

Yes. Bus Éireann route 343 runs 24 hours a day to Shannon town and Limerick, route 330 runs hourly to Ennis, and Expressway route 51 links the airport with Limerick, Cork, Ennis and Galway. Buses leave from outside the terminal, and timetables are on the Bus Éireann and Transport for Ireland websites.

Taxis wait at the taxi stand directly outside the terminal, a short walk from the arrivals hall. They go door to door to Shannon town, Limerick, Ennis and the rest of County Clare. Late at night fewer taxis may be waiting, so travelers on late flights often book a car ahead.

Yes. The Burren Suite next to Gate 6 serves passengers on flights to Europe and the UK, and the Boru Lounge next to Gate 7 is also in the departures area. Both have showers, and entry is paid at the door or through a lounge membership program.

Yes. Several car rental companies, including Avis, Budget, Europcar and Hertz, have desks in the arrivals hall. A car suits touring Clare, the Burren and the Wild Atlantic Way, but remember that Ireland drives on the left and many country roads are narrow and winding.

The Shannon Airport Group runs five parking lots with more than 5,600 spaces, including Short Stay, Long Stay and Premium parking within walking distance of the terminal. Park4Less, about an eight-minute walk away, can be booked online in advance. The parking lots are patrolled by the airport police.

Shannon Airport is on Irish time: GMT (UTC+0) in winter and Irish Standard Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October, the same as the UK. Flights from the US east coast usually land in the early morning, so plan for the time difference on your first day.
