Frequently asked questions about domestic flights in Ireland

Does Ireland have any domestic flights?

Yes, but the domestic network is very small. The main routes connect Dublin with Kerry, Donegal and (seasonally) the Aran Islands. Most travel within Ireland is by road.

What are Ireland's domestic flight routes?

Based on Kiwi.com booking data (May 2025 to April 2026), the most-booked Irish domestic city pairs on Kiwi.com are Dublin–County Kerry, Donegal–Dublin and Dublin–Cork.

Who are the airlines for Irish domestic flights?

Several airlines operate domestic flights in Ireland, including Aer Lingus, Ryanair and Emerald Airlines. Routes, schedules and prices vary by airline and date — compare options on Kiwi.com for the specific flight you want.

Are flights from Ireland to the UK considered domestic?

No. Ireland and the UK are separate countries, so flights between them are international. The Common Travel Area lets Irish and UK citizens travel between the two without a passport in many cases, but airlines still require valid photo ID.

How do I fly to the Aran Islands from Ireland?

Aer Arann Islands operates short flights from Connemara Airport (Inverin, NNR) near Galway to Inis Mór, Inis Meáin and Inis Oírr. Flight time is about 10 minutes. Ferry services from Rossaveal and Doolin are the alternative.

Who operates Ireland's domestic flights, Aer Lingus or Ryanair?

Both serve the limited Irish domestic and Ireland-UK network, with Emerald Airlines operating several of the regional routes. Ryanair often advertises lower headline fares on shorter-notice bookings; actual fares vary by route and date.

How long is the Dublin to Kerry / Donegal flight?

Dublin–Kerry takes about 50 minutes; Dublin–Donegal is roughly 1 hour. Both routes are operated mainly by smaller regional aircraft on public-service contracts.

How early should I arrive for an Irish domestic flight?

Aim for 90 minutes before departure with hand luggage, or 2 hours if you're checking a bag. Dublin Airport security can get busy during morning peaks, give yourself extra time.
