The Wedding Website of Abigail Chalmers and Pierre O'Driscoll
Whether you’re driving a few hours across Ireland or flying across the ocean, we’re so grateful you’re considering making the journey to celebrate with us in Dingle! If you’re planning to come celebrate with us, book your accommodation soon! Dingle is a small town with limited spots, and our wedding weekend happens to fall during the Dingle Races which means it’ll be extra busy (you’d be surprised at how popular they are!). We’ve listed plenty of options below to suit all budgets, with some you can book now and pay later, and others with flexible cancellation policies. For those of you crossing the Atlantic to be with us: we know it's no small journey, and we're so touched you're even considering it. Truly, there's no expectation! We've listed the closest airports and a few travel tips below to help you get to Dingle as smoothly as possible.

Travel Note

Airport Options

Renting a car? Most rentals in Ireland are manual, so book early if you need automatic.

Travel Note

Shannon Airport (107 miles / ~2.5 hour drive)

The best option for most US guests. Shannon has direct transatlantic routes from New York (JFK), Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Orlando, and more. It also has US Customs and Border Protection preclearance (just like Dublin), which means you clear US immigration before you board back to the US so you'll land straight into arrivals like a domestic flight. No long immigration queues! Car rentals are available at the airport. If you're not renting a car, private airport transfers and taxis to Dingle are available (roughly €300 for 3ppl).

Travel Note

Dublin Airport (218 miles / ~4.5 hour drive)

Dublin has the most international connections but is the longest journey to Dingle, so we recommend Shannon if it's an option for you. That said, if Dublin works better for your travel plans, here's how to get to us: • Car rental is the most flexible option and available at the airport. • Train: Irish Rail runs from Dublin Heuston to Tralee (~3 hr 55 min, from ~€25), then Bus Éireann #275 to Dingle (~55 min). Alternatively, get off at Killarney (~3 hr 15 min) and take a taxi from there (~1 hour). Book trains at irishrail.ie — up to 2 months in advance. • Connecting flight to Kerry Airport: Ryanair flies Dublin → Kerry in just 55 minutes from ~€20, with departures typically around 9:20 AM and 4:25 PM. Often faster and cheaper than the train!

Travel Note

Kerry Airport (34 miles / ~1 hour drive)

The closest airport to Dingle, but no direct US routes- you'd need to connect via Dublin or London. If you do come through Kerry, car rentals are available at the airport, and private shuttles and taxis run to Dingle directly. There's also a public bus, though it takes around 2 hours. The Ryanair Dublin-Kerry connection mentioned above is a great option if you're routing through Dublin.
