FAQs - booking Cork flights

  • How can I hire a car at Cork airport (ORK)?

    After claiming your luggage at Cork airport, make your way to the Arrivals Hall, where you will find desks from some of the major car hire companies, including Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Europcar. You can organise your car hire directly there at the airport, however you can often get a better deal by booking online in advance and simply picking up your vehicle from Cork.

  • What is the cheapest way of getting from Cork airport (ORK) to the city centre?

    The cheapest way is by catching the bus, which operates directly from the airport and is ideal for light travellers or those visiting Cork on a budget. Bus Éireann operates a number of services taking you to Cork, namely the 225, 226 and 226A buses, which run every 30min during the week and every 60min at weekends. An adult single ticket costs around €1.80 (roughly £1.50) and can be bought in advance or on-board the bus.

  • What is the fastest way of getting from the airport to Cork city centre?

    The fastest way would be by getting a taxi, although this is often the most expensive way, especially if you are travelling alone. The taxi rank can be found directly outside the Arrivals hall, and you can expect to pay somewhere in the region of €20 (£17) for a trip to Cork city centre. The journey should take roughly 20min, although always be prepared to run into traffic, particularly during the week.

You can catch a train via Ireland's national railway service to Charleville for roughly €15 (£13), which will take around 40min, or to Limerick Junction for around €20 (£17), which will take around 1h. This train line even connects to Dublin, although you may be better flying directly to Dublin Airport (DUB) if this is your final destination.

Ryanair delayed my flight by 7.30 hours gave us a embarrassing 4 euro voucher Got to Leeds/Bradford airport got to the car hire which I also booked through your site and they had given my car away then charged me a additional 192 pounds more for a car I didn’t even want complete scam

Aer Lingus App never showed the gate and the board did not update until very close to the time the gate was due to close. Both planes departed late but no announcement was made which would have saved a run for the gate.

Caring & friendly crew. Most important: got us SAFELY to our destination!

delayed flight stayed whole night at washington Dallas airport at seats , uncomfortable . i am senior citizen , very tired , worst travel.

One of the best flight experience I have had in along time. Would fly with them again.

Like getting a bus. No great luxury but will get you there

Got us to destination alive, albeit a bit late. Luggage was left behind. No live tracking app available (available on some other airlines). Supposedly going to be delivered in next couple of days.

Excellent as far as the flight is concerned. Faro airport passport check was a huge delay and worrisome re missing the flight. 45 minutes there through passport control

Excellent service, full flight but all went well ; slightly delayed start at Faro but arrived in Cork on time.

I was pleasantly surprised - it has been awhile since I traveled with them - other than being delayed leaving Malaga everything ran very smoothly- yes I would travel with aer Lingus again and yes I would recommended

Had no disruptions or delays. Did not order any food.

Take off was great but landing is always with a bump.

They were extremely unprofessional and unhelpful at check in. They did not understand laws related to Spanish residents flying with family It was very discriminatory the way we were treated.

It's not the staff's fault. The cabin crew do their best but the setup in Stansted Airport by Ryanair is poor. The herding of people like cattle is unacceptable before boarding and is something that's in every airport but only in Stansted have I seen the queueing of passengers outside the plane on the tarmac and the crew only turning up with maybe 5 minutes to depart. This is a resource issue . Yes prices are good but seemingly comes with a price of poor treatment of customers. I'll pay more next time

all fine - did not have food - there was no entertainment

Delayed delayed delayed and then cancelled very late not allowing for too much time to find a room for the night

Ryanair is always shite. Slowest boarding possible in the most uncomfortable way. It’s like they are are tad sadistic.

Everything went according to plan. Check in, boarding etc all were very efficient.

Boarding at Arrecife was commended way too early. Far too long for elderly to be kept standing on their feet. Otherwise we’ll done to all staff.

The boarding process was fast and easy , but the airport sign was not up on the board, so it was hard to know the correct gate , on the airplane there was NO Snacks and NO water …. Everything needs to be purchase …. It’s not worthy for the price we paid !

Waiting area not big enough for all the passengers, no airport lounge.

Really appreciated the care, attention and friendliness of cabin crew. Very comfortable, prompt and efficient flight.

People were nice. Seats are so cramped my knees had to be pressed into the seat in front of me.

Dreadfully long wait for bags at Dublin coming off an already late flight.

Flight was delayed and there was boarding pass and flight information errors resulting in confusion and stress

Aer Lingus was the actual airline so they handled everything professionally.

Excellent service smooth flight f or the most part food was right now.I'm expectedly good.

The flight was delayed, and delayed some more. But there was more room on this plane than the one that flew oversees! There was no food or entertainment, but that’s ok, it’s a short flight

Was delayed for checks after evidence of bird strike, good call

The plane was delayed. That was only downside to flight. Crew was very nice

Flight delayed but lack on information at the airport - only knew from looking at flight radar Other people queuing ages before a plane was there as staff not informing them of delays Usual issues with boarding people haphazard What is the point of priority when they don’t stick to it and all held like cattle just before getting on plane

The flight was on time, great value and very helpful crew. This direct flight was the most convenient I ever had coming to Sarajevo over the years. Will definitely use this flight again in the future without hesitation.

Very late to leave, poor communication on expected departure time and when boarding actually started.

Cheap flight but I didn't like the almost one hour delay because of paperwork!!!!

Gate is far at Leeds Bradford Airport. However, as the flight was less than half full, it was calm and not stressful. Great take off and landing. Friendly staff

Boarding was started early and we were lined up in. A glass tunnel on the tarmac we were left standing there for an hour with no information the flight left and arrived 30 mins late

It was great. We arrived a few minutes late but the crew were concert and kind about it. It was a nice smooth fly thanks be to Jesus. I prayed for smooth flight and Yahuwah answered my prayer.

We bought tickets for £30 from kayak but we paid £55 for check in to rayan , they slaught us

Flight was delayed so long we missed our second flight. Entire trip had to be cancelled. Ryanair refused to help us.

After you made us check-in I tried to add a suitcase in the internet and also to get help by chet. Nothing work and we pay 60 pounds at Airport. Comper to Easyjet to do the same, was easy and customer friendly.
