Flight

Dublin Airport

Aer Lingus is our preferred Irish airline as they typically have the most flight options at the cheapest rate! Direct options from Washington Dulles (IAD) to Dublin (DUB) are available, as well as consistent direct flights from New York (JFK), Newark (EWR). Chicago (ORD) or connecting flights in Boston (BOS), and Philadelphia (PHL). American Airlines, United & Delta also fly direct into Dublin airport. Dublin to Kilkea Castle is about a one hour drive. Transportation suggestions can be found below. Note: You can go through American customs and security in Dublin, which saves you time when you arrive back in America for those without Global Entry. Dublin Airport is one of the only airports in Europe that offers this! Make sure to give yourself ample time (3hrs) prior to departure.
