getting to cork airport

cambasque

Hi, I hope someone can help me out, I need to get to cork airport on the 4 th june, flight is leaving at 7a.m., and back on the 11 th June, in at 11a.m. I can't seem to find out on line on how i can get over and back, does anyone know of a bus route, don't mind going the night before and sleeping in the airport etc. or if anyone is going over, gladly share costs. I would be coming from Killarney, Kenmare area, i can easily to get into any of the towns around, even across to macroom if I had to. thanks for any help.

There's the 40 bus to Cork and 226 to the airport. In terms of sleeping there overnight, whether it'd be a good idea or not, the airport is probably closed at night. Generally all flights are done by 11 or 12 and don't start until about 6 in the morning...so I doubt it's open at night. But maybe someone else can shed more light on that.

Yep!

Tralee -> Farranfore -> Killarney -> Ballyvourney -> Macroom -> Cork

No service at night: http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1376666737-040.pdf
And there's the 226: http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1392394304-226.pdf
Traveling by bus you would need to get to Cork the evening before the flight, the last 226 would then be at the airport at 25 past midnight.

It's been asked a fair few times in the cork forum and apparently you can stay there overnight. Well, that's to say it's open and you could crash there until the morning flights.

stay in a cheap B&B or hostel in Cork and enjoy the delights of cork the evening before?

AFAIK even Kerry people are welcome in Cork!
