Question 10

How long does it take to fly to Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Generally, flights between Australia and Ireland take between 24 and 27h. Although this varies depending on the airline, flight times remain fairly consistent across different services. Most routes from Australia to Ireland will make their arrival at Dublin Airport (DUB). Passengers looking for flights to Ireland will find a wide range of airlines available to them. If you fly with Emirates from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD), Melbourne Airport (MEL), or Brisbane Airport (BNE), you can expect to be in the air for around 24h after take-off, including one stopover. This is also the case if you book plane tickets with Aer Lingus from Melbourne or from Sydney. Ireland flights with Qatar Airways take around 24h from Melbourne but take up to 27h from Sydney. Both routes with this airline make one stopover. You can also fly with Qantas Airways from all three of these Australian airports. Qantas flights from Melbourne or Brisbane take around 24h. However, if you make your departure from Sydney Airport, this can lengthen your journey time by around 3h.

Question 11

Can you get direct flights to Ireland from Australia?

Accepted Answer

There are no direct flights available from Australia to Ireland. Instead, most Ireland flights on this route make a stopover at least once on the way. The location and duration of this stopover depend on which airline you travel with. Many airlines on this route stopover in the United Arab Emirates before continuing to Ireland. If you book flights to Ireland with Emirates, your stopover will be at Dubai International Airport. Meanwhile, if you plan to travel with Aer Lingus or Etihad, you will usually make a single stop in Abu Dhabi. Flights with Qatar Airways usually stopover in Doha. On some routes, you'll make two stops before you reach your destination. For instance, on flights with Qantas from Sydney, you will need to change planes at Melbourne Airport and then again in Dubai before you touch down in Ireland. You may also have to make two stops on some Qantas flights from Brisbane Airport, changing planes first at Sydney Airport and then again in Dubai. Taking this route from Brisbane can increase your journey time by around 9h.

Question 12

What is the best way to travel around Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Ireland has lots of scenic rural areas that are perfect to explore by car. Driving conditions and road surfaces are generally good, making car hire an ideal option for your Ireland trip. Car hire is available through multiple companies at Dublin Airport, meaning you can start your journey as soon as you step off the runway. Ireland also has an efficient and affordable bus service. Buses are useful for visiting popular tourist spots in large cities, like Dublin. Buses may not be as ideal for exploring more rural areas, as you may face long waits between services. Ireland also has an excellent train network that operates between different parts of the country. If you want to travel from east to west, for example, to move from Dublin to Galway, a train journey will only take you around two and a halfh, and tickets are affordable.

Question 13

Does an Australian citizen need a passport or visa to fly to Ireland?

Accepted Answer
