Flights to Kilkenny: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to Kilkenny 
DaveFlew with Aer Lingus-Sep 2026
The Dublin Airport has NO rail service, so if making a rail connection, solid plans need to be made beforehand about where to go and how to get there.

My only tip is to put a small bag underneath bc you won't have room for much else.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2026
Flying direct to Dublin and using it as a hub to other European cities is fantastic; far better than going thru Heathrow, DeGaulle or Frankfurt.
JonathonFlew with Aer Lingus-Jul 2026
Don’t sit on the inside seat during a lay flat flight. Don’t order the beef short ribs, they’re kinda fatty, and chewy.. Try all the whiskey.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Apr 2026
Make sure to double and triple check that the flight you book actually exists before going to the airport.

If flying to Ireland, the direct flight from SFO to DUB on Aer Lingus is the way to go to avoid the hassles and uncertainty of mid journey stop-overs.
LisaFlew with Aer Lingus-Dec 2025
Look at Jet Blue and Delta. May be a bit more expensive but keep an eye out for fare reductions and book early.
DavidFlew with Aer Lingus-Dec 2025
Check gate; it’s not in the international terminal
Mary MargaretFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2025
Some people may be required to check their carryon bags, depending on flight, plane size, check-in crew, etc. Also, taller people should purchase aisle seats.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Jul 2025
Whatever airline you choose, spring for a class with more leg and overall body room than economy (or whatever the cheapest class is called).
himanshuFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2025
Eat and drink before boarding. Snacks. Hand gel and surface wipes . Don't expect a window if in a window row.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Jul 2024
Go to the airport early, LAX is the worst airport to fly out from. There is just so much traffic on the way to get there. We used the flyaway option in van nuys, ( buy your parking ticket in advance) costing us only 115 dollars for parking for over two weeks and it’s very secure. The buses go every 15 minutes from there directly to LAX. Best way to get to and from LAX. Check in was easy.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Apr 2024
JFK is an amazing airport, they have TSA precheck which was not offered when I flew Aer Lingus/Newark. The TSA precheck line took a long time, they only had 2 machines and a few agents working. Other than that Newark was as any other airport, easy bag check in process and gate seating area was clean and comfortable.

Pack what you need in a carryon since it is likely you'll arrive without luggage.

Gate agents call groups one and two and give about 3-5 minutes for each group to board, then the call groups three and four together and it causes a bottleneck in the line. Give each group 3-5 minutes to board before calling the next group.

We sat at the gate for over 30 minutes, with no indication as to why

I didn't really interact with any of the crew since we had a bumpy ride and no refreshments were distributed.

It was delayed over an hour and a lot of announcements disrupting movie.

My flight experience was generally good, but the boarding process was stressful. I was pulled out of line at the gate during the photo ID check, and after being cleared, I was never given an explanation for the delay despite asking for clarification. This lack of communication was the only downside to an otherwise smooth trip.

I didn't use the onboard amenities, so it is difficult to comment on those services. Otherwise, the flight from Nashville to Toronto was quite crowded, but the boarding process and the flight itself were perfectly fine.

Seats were old and very uncomfortable. Coach seating is way too tight

WiFi was a major problem and if it does not work on a 4 hour flight then that lowers the overall experience

The wifi was barely operable. just enough to charge me, not enough to be useful. I wasted 2 hours of time I could have been working. So now, I' have two hours of work this weekend to catch up on thanks to Delta's crappy technology. Plus I'm out the money!

got ahead of the schedule, nothing else to like. crew management of boarding when overhead bag space was virtually gone in the midst of their priority zone 3 should have been better. but they absolutely did not care. ryanair crew is better than this!

Flight was over two hours late, but they notified us early in the morning. They ended up changing planes the food on board that was extremely mediocre and we were in premier class.

Usual wait for over a half hour for a gate at Ohare. They tell you you'll get there early then sit on the plane and wait almost an hour

I enjoyed it, again I believe air Canada has better seating options and better drink options

Plane congestion resulted in a 1 hr wait from landing to arrival at the gate. This was in addition to also experiencing extreme delays on my incoming flight.

Delayed too much. 1.5 hrs in the airport and another 1 hr in the runway. Got too late in the night. There was no proper food available.

awesome team work seen since on board till off plane in my destination. thanks you so much.

I initially boarded in a very comfortable and large plane and was told there was a mechanical issue with a waste receptacle. We sat on the plan for a good few hours, then were told we can deplane and that we would take off shortly. Delays continued and four hours later my flight was cancelled, and I had to quickly rebook another. The flight I rebooked was also delayed, and I when we boarded, I wound up on a small plane in a middle seat for the 6-hour journey and it was extremely uncomfortable. No issues with the staff in any way, just the overall experience of the delays, cancellations, and downgrade in comfort on such a long flight. It is significantly impactful on how you feel post travel and I was exhausted and sore from the experience.

It was pretty good, they give a small blanket, neck pillow and earphones. The only bad thing was not big enough leg room for your bag and feet. They gave us a snack, dinner, and breakfast on flight and food was good considering it was on a plane

I bought this ticket for my daughter. She had to pay for her carry on bag to be checked. My understanding is that transatlantic flights included carry on and personal item The nickeling and diming fo legacy carriers has stooped to an all time low. So sad.

The Economy Plus rows weren’t as roomy as expected, and the meal service left a lot to be desired for.

Absolutely the worst at baggage handling. Our baggage still has not been delivered. They couldn't find it in Dublin then when we got to Edinburgh they said the 2 bags were sitting in Dublin. After spending an hour filling out forms at the counter. We left for our hotel, bags arrived in Edinburgh at 505pm using my satellite tracker. Tried calling the numbers provided, no answer to their 24/7 service. Next morning the bags are still sitting at airport, no movement. Called different number provided by hotel in Sterling, the said it's souly the responsibility of the courier service now and they couldn't help. Completely ruined our travel plans, we must find clothes to purchase today instead of going to the museums we had purchased tickets for. This loss is costing us thousands in already paid hotels and services. No one takes any responsibility. I'll be contacting legal services on our return. We will never forget and I'll be a social advocate to avoid using this service.

I was disappointed with my experience on my Aer Lingus flight from Denver to Dublin. One of the biggest issues for me was the attitude of the cabin crew. They came across as cold, unfriendly, and unapproachable. There was very little warmth or friendliness, and I rarely saw anyone smile. I did not feel that the crew made passengers feel welcomed or cared for, which makes a significant difference on a long international flight. The cabin was also extremely cold and uncomfortable. What made this more frustrating was that we were instructed to put everything, including our blankets, underneath the seats at certain times rather than being allowed to keep ourselves covered. Considering how cold the cabin was, this was particularly uncomfortable. I also did not appreciate the tone used when giving some of these instructions. At times, the communication came across as unnecessarily loud and abrupt rather than polite and courteous. I understand that cabin crew have important safety responsibilities and passengers need to follow instructions, but those instructions can still be delivered in a professional, respectful, and friendly manner. Unfortunately, the lack of warmth and hospitality from the crew was the most disappointing part of my Aer Lingus experience.

Cabin crew was one of the worst in memory. Poor in delivering service - in some cases skipping it altogether. Someone in baggage handling managed to steal my electronic bag tracker from Apple.

I buy ticket from you and when I go to the airport aer Lingus they tell me you need travel visa for Ireland for one hour travel so when I buy tickets there no requirement I need transit, visa or not so when I try to cancel my ticket or change my ticket, you guys say there is no refund so you u guys take all my money which is very disappointed

The aircraft was clean and relatively comfortable- for an aircraft seat. The entertainment was good. The food was terrible, especially the “breakfast “ which was a cereal bar, and just not good. The crew were amazing, professional and no complaints there. The food was so bad, I know for my return, it will be inedible.

Awful customer service. What you are told 100% depends on who you talk to.

I love flying with them, the long-haul was fantastic. The short flight from Dublin --> Switzerland was horrible though. Most narrow seats I ever had, first and only time in my life I couldn't even close the seatbelt in seat 1A which was very embarrassing so I had to sit in the middle, because that seatbeld was 20cm longer. No idea why seat 1A would have a much shorter belt, it's just ridicilous. Also I hate the fixed seats, way too narrow.

Food was mediocre, but as expected in economy class on an airline. Wrap was ice cold , my son’s served by a steward on the next aisle was warm . As expected, but at least heat the food up a bit. No frills, but it’s economy. Excellent free WiFi was a bonus

I flew Aer Lingus Business class for the first time. Having flown economy a few times, I was familiar with the airline, and happy enough with economy. I’ve certainly been in nicer economy airlines before, but Aer Lingus is usually very reasonable, and I find the staff to be kind and have an Irish sense of humor and accommodation. The business experience was good, in that you got superior service to the back, lay down seats, better food and drinks, and more attentive service. However, the plane was a bit older, the WiFi was slow(not Starlink) and the pods were too close to one another for privacy, or function. When the Oder lady to the left of me fell asleep(fully reclined) there was no way for me to escape without having to wake her and put her seat all the way up. That lead to me being stuck with luggage I couldn’t put away in a cramped(for business) space, and no way to use the restroom for almost the whole 8 1/2 hour trip. I ended up trying to sleep with a large backpack blocking my feet. The food was good for plane food, but not great. The drinks were great, shame I couldn’t have had more, but I’d have peed myself. I love a window, but next time maybe an isle seat. Overall, the experience was good, not great, but an expensive good experience during which I got zero sleep. I’d do it again, but it’d have to be a deal.

The direct flight was a superb idea; please continue. The seats were less than comfortable for such a long flight.

Thought the economy premium experience would match that of the Amsterdam to Boston flight. Aircraft was older: chair didn’t lean back. I had to buy a blanket, which on the flight over was complimentary. Flight crew seemed disinterested all around.

I propose enhancing the legroom across the entire cabin seating area and expanding the snack selection. The airline companies should prioritize customer needs over the extravagant and unjustified salaries of upper management.

KUDOS TO ALL THE CREW PROVIDING ASSISTANCE WITH PASSENGERS ON A WHEELCHAIR. ON BOTH FLIGHTS THEY HUSTLED TO TAKE MY RELATIVE TO CONNECTION ON TIME. THEY DESERVE A LOT OF CREDIT!

Good experience with this flight. Boarding was smooth with no issues. The short flight was good with quick drink & snack service. Nice easy way to get back from DC.

Very good flight that left on time and arrived earlier than anticipated, which was a plus! The crew members were very welcoming and helpful. However, the temperature on the flight was very cold - almost to the point of extreme discomfort. Additionally, requiring passengers to pay $8 for headphones to access the JetBlue entertainment was disappointing. Those earbud jacks are not used with most technology and would not be able to be used. There was no option to use Bluetooth for my own earbuds. Beyond those inconveniences, the flight was good.

My original flight was cancelled. My replacement flight was delayed over 2 hours. I lost my whole day in NY

Delays were crazy long (over an hour) both for boarding and baggage claim

awful expereince. boarding was a mess and not communicated, then we sat on a hot plane and were at risk of getting kicked off

2 hour delay and a lack of air conditioning on the plane. Not a good combination

Fabulous! This was the first time we've flown with JetBlue and the entire experience was flawless!

I don’t think I’ve ever had a flight with American that has been without problems. Mostly delays - this time for over 3 hours. They should have just brought another plane into the terminal but they just had everyone sitting around misterable all day. They turned a 3 hour flight into a 12 hour trip for me (including the “planned” layover). It was ridiculous.

The flight from American side was good, my main issue this was a part of a partner flight with gol, preventing me to use digital boarding passes and doing checking previous of the arrival to the airport.

Id like for them to not have lost my bag. And maybe be a little nicer to me, given the fact they lost my bag.

The flight was delayed but we were given no updates. The time just kept changing in the board. We were delayed on the runway as well. Then, my bag was lost and still hasn't been returned.

The flight landed in Phoenix and taxied the runway for 15 additional minutes. I had a connecting flight I barely made it to because of the delay of the plane taxing the runway.

The flight was delayed a dozen times and finally took off 3 hours late. American gave us 12 dollar vouchers which barely buys you a water at the airport. Options to rebook were easy to access and complete although I didn't go this route.

I have executive platinum status with American Airlines. It seems impossible to be upgraded anymore and I’m never offered a cheese plate or thanked for my loyalty.

In premium economy I was expecting a bit cleaner area. Tables were not very clean. Only one of us received a blanket and pillow. The food was okay. Probably a smidgen better than coach. The crew were very nice but should have done more walk through to at least pick up trash.

The economy seats are very cramped and the food was bizarre. However, I did like the greek yogurt option for breakfast.

horrible our connectig flight was late and we had to rush thru DFW to the next gate with 15 minutes time. Get to gate and its changed. no one knows whats going on . finally get a new gate and the plane has been sent back to the hanger . Boarded 4 hours after our original flight time and then sat at the gate for over an hour as the captian said the cargo doors were open and no one was in the airprot or on the ground to find out what was happening. this caused us to miss the first day of the tour as we missed our transfer and hotel meetup no apologies or accomodations offered to assist
