Air Travel to Ireland Study Abroad Program

    Air travel is not included.  Arrangements for travel to and from Ireland are the student's responsibility.  We recommend that you consult your travel agent and request the lowest available fares from any reputable carrier or use the links provided below.  Air fares vary widely, so shopping is advisable.  Plan to fly into Shannon International Airport and return back to the U.S. out of Dublin International Airport( Most U.S. flights to Ireland stop at both the Shannon and Dublin airports, so you should still be able to obtain comparatively lower-cost "roundtrip" airfare rates.)   For travel planning purposes, your flight into the Shannon should arrive on the morning of Sunday, May 16, 2010.  This means departing the U.S. on Saturday, May 15, 2010.  We will arrange for group bus transportation to Dingle with a morning departure from Shannon International Airport on May 16.  Departure from Ireland should be on Saturday, June 12 unless you are making plans to extend your visit to Europe or will participate in the optional Wales portion of the program.  Departure from Wales should be on Friday, June 18 from Manchester or London, England or from Dublin, Ireland.
