Cork Airport - *Read Mod Note in First Post Before Posting*

Any updates on when Ryanair will officially launch their Winter 25/26 schedule? Any rumours of any new routes, schedule increases, schedule decreases, beyond what is already showing on their website?

I think at this stage the most like changes are further decreases. For example, last year many routes were reduced in frequency for the month of January, those decreases dont seem to be reflected at this stage

Anyone know if Ryanair will be continuing Rhodes and Sardinia flights next year and if so when will they resume ?

I notice on the SunExpress website they have loaded flights to Izmir over Christmas and the New year. Good to see, they must be getting good numbers.

Just a quick question is there any bars or restaurants that I can grab a pint and a bit a lunch before going threw security?

Is the new Kinsale airport lounge accepting the Priority Card?

The Aspire Lounge did previously but I heard there were difficulties with the new operator.

I hope that’s true!

Jesus I was in a panic earlier. I'm driving up from Waterford to fly to Croatia tomorrow only to discover parking is fully booked including CAPS. Somehow after 10 mins short term appeared with availability for the week which i jumped on.

I used to fly to London weekly up to 18 months ago but haven't flown at all since last September. Never had any issues with parking until now.

I thought with the kids back to school parking would be grand, boy was I wrong.

On a separate note, has the Aspire lounge closed and the Kinsale lounge opened? Has anyone been in the Kinslale lounge if so?

on the odd occasion Ryanair run routes from Cork or Shannon and not from Dublin. A couple of years ago Ryanair ran Winter flights from Cork to Mallorca but not from Dublin. I remember talking to Dubliners on a flight who were unhappy that they had to come to Cork.

When last I saw, the new lounge was for Aer Lingus etc but oddly enough KLM was not on the list.

Also VHIs delay lounge access is not available either.

Maybe so but that's a ludicrous risk to take in my opinion.

Anyhow I got there just after 3 this afternoon. Had to park on the roof of the short stay it was that wedged. On the walk over to the lifts I took a gander over at blue. Not 1 single available space could I see.

I won't be taking that chance again. I'll be making sure to book long stay well in advance.

Based off a screenshot in Reddit, it seems Aer Lingus accidentally showed direct flights from Cork to Newark this week. It seems to be posted by the Cork Airport staff member who has leaked other route info

Rest of Ryanair’s summer schedules are going up and it’s not good looking. Lot’s of decreased frequencies and aircraft from other airports being used. Looking like 3 aircraft for S26 so far

EDIT: Schedules so far show 4 based aircraft from June, like 2024.

word of caution. Last year they put up final schedule only in December and lots of destinations appeared only then. So I would not be too pessimistic. Cork is growing
