By Flight to Cork
Ryanair operate flights from Stansted and Gatwick Airports directly to Cork, whilst Aer Lingus operate flights from London Heathrow direct to Cork.
We recommend that for onward connection to the city centre, that supporters take the Skylink Airport coach service from the Airport to the city centre. The service costs €3.99 single from Cork Airport, and leaves every half an hour serving major hotels en route.
The best way to access Cork City's ground is to take Bus Eireann service 3 from the city centre which stops directly outside the ground. Timetables can be found on the Bus Eireann website. Fare €1.60 single.
By Flight to Dublin
Aer Lingus, BMI and Ryanair offer a large number of flights each day to Ireland's capital city from around 10 UK locations, with the flagship Heathrow and Stansted routes operating around 10 flights in each direction on each route.
From Dublin Airport we recommend you take the First Aircoach service to the city centre, before changing for the Dublin City - Cork City service, journey takes around four hours, and a return ticket from Dublin Airport to Cork would cost €28. This is by far the best value, and most comfortable way of travelling. A return journey from Dublin City Centre to Cork City Centre only is €22
Alternatively, you can take the Airlink 748 standard city bus to Heuston Rail station, for €11 return, and a train from Heuston to Cork. This service takes around 3 hours, and prices for a return trip are typically from €71 for standard class and €111 for a first class making it a much more expensive option than the coach.
From Cork City Centre, take Bus Eireann service 3 from the city centre which stops directly outside the ground. Timetables can be found on the Bus Eireann website. Fare €1.60 single.
