Which airport should we fly to?

1h from Cahersiveen

Kerry Airport (KIR)

The closest airport. Direct flights from London, Manchester and Frankfurt all year, plus Alicante and Faro in summer. Easy to connect through Dublin.

2h from Cahersiveen

Cork Airport (ORK)

Ireland's second airport, with direct flights from around 40 European cities, including Barcelona, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

Shannon and Dublin airports: on request

Shannon (about 2h45 from Cahersiveen) and Dublin (about 4h30) can be a good choice if there's no direct flight from your city to Kerry or Cork. We can arrange a transfer from either airport. Just ask us before you book your flights.

We also collect students for free at weekends from Killarney, Cork Kent train station and Cork Harbour (ferries from Roscoff).

Travelling alone

Under 16 and flying alone?

No problem. Aer Lingus, KLM, Air France, Lufthansa and SWISS all offer an unaccompanied minor service: airline staff look after your child from check-in until they hand them over to us in arrivals. Each airline sets its own ages and fees, so ask when you book.

If your child uses this service, we sign for them at the airport for €50 per journey. There's no charge for anyone else: most students aged 16 and over, and groups travelling with a leader, don't need it. If you're booking Ryanair, note that under-16s need to travel with an adult aged 18 or over.
