Shannon Airport is the third busiest airport in Ireland, and is one of the major airports alongside Dublin Airport and Cork Airport. Shannon Airport is, of course, located in Shannon and serves Limerick and the western side of Ireland. Airlines that operate from Shannon Airport include Aer Lingus, Air Transat, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Edelweiss Air, Iberworld, Monarch Airlines, Niki, Onur Air, Ryanair, Thomson Airways, and Travel Service. There are also a wide range of destinations offered (some only seasonal) including Boston, Dublin, Heathrow, New York, Birmingham (UK), Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester and various places in the South of France.

The Park Inn at Shannon Airport is mere minutes away from the airport and is the perfect choice for those who have an early flight the next day, as they can stop over at the Inn and be fresh for the airport, instead of getting up at a stupid time that morning and driving from home. Alternatively, for those who want to rest after a long or late flight it can be refreshing to simply step outside the airport and find oneself in a pleasant environment ready to relax for the night before continuing with a journey. Should you wish, local attractions can be explored from the Park Inn Shannon Airport including Bunratty Castle, Folk Park, Ballycasey Craft and the Design Center. The town of Limerick also makes an excellent place to look around as a taste of true Ireland. Finally, an important feature of this hotel is that flight departure and arrival times are shown on TV screens in the hotel meaning that you can see exactly what is going on with your flight – if it’s delayed you can have a few extra hours relaxing without having to leave the hotel to find out what’s happening!
