Flying into Ireland

We recommend booking your flights to Dublin as soon as possible to guarantee best price and availability. Please make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from travel date. Aer Lingus or United are the most common airlines for Ireland. Most U.S. flights are overnight and land early morning Ireland time. Flights from the East Coast are ~6.5 hours and effectively land ~12 hours after takeoff. In other words, if you leave at 6 PM East Coast time, you will land at 6 AM Ireland time.

Travel Note

Getting from Dublin to Sligo

Our venue is nestled in the countryside on the west coast of the island. It is a 2.5 hour drive from Dublin to Sligo. Here are a few recommended travel options: TAKE THE TRAIN Take a scenic 3-hour train ride from Dublin City centre to Sligo for about $30. The Irish Rail in Ireland is comfy and offers you a chance to relax and even squeeze in a nap to fight off jet lag. RENT A CAR It's the best way to take in the Irish countryside and see the sites, especially if you are considering extending your trip and seeing more of the country pre or post wedding.
