Access To Tipperary From The US

Located just 45 minutes from Shannon Airport and just over 2 hours from Dublin Airport, Aer Lingus offers direct flights from many US cities, including Boston, Miami, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver and many more destinations. A huge advantage of travelling back to the US from Ireland is that you will pass through U.S. Preclearance facility. Dublin Airport is one of only a handful of airports outside North America that offers this facility. The benefit is that having cleared USCBP, passengers arriving in the US are treated as domestic arrivals, allowing them to avoid immigration queues, pick up their bags and go. Car hire companies are also located at all airports.

 Our Emerald Isle Survival Guide

1. Car Hire companies are located in all the airports and we recommend that you book an automatic car in advance of your arrival.

2. In Ireland, we drive on the left and speed limit is posted in kilometres.

3. Please check roaming charges with your mobile phone provider before travelling to Ireland as this can add up to be quite costly.

4. In Ireland we use 3-pin plugs.

5. Finally, when entering one of our pubs, order a pint of Guinness… You won’t regret it!!!
