Travel
The best time to book flights is between June and early August for our November 2nd wedding. Flying midweek (Tuesday/Wednesday) is usually cheaper.
Dublin (DUB) is the most common airport, but Ireland West (Knock) and Shannon (SNN) are also good options depending on your travel plans.
We recommend setting a price alert on Google Flights or Skyscanner and booking 3–5 months out for the best deals!
Travel Note
Passport & Entry Requirements
No visa needed for U.S. citizens for stays under 90 days. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay — no additional buffer required by Ireland, but 6 months validity is generally a good rule of thumb. You'll fill out a short entry form with basic details upon arrival. If you are going to another part of Europe you may need to apply for ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System).
