Shannon Airport

Not Verified | I just booked through this airport in October on my way to Australia. It was such a dream, no queues, friendly efficient staff. Luggage scanned without having to remove Ipad, small bottles etc. It must be one of the better airports in the EU.

✅ Trip Verified | The pleasant experience of arriving and departure in Shannon Airport was above all else. Efficiency, professionalism courteous. Dublin needs to take a look and see how it’s done. Well done Shannon.

Not Verified | I love Shannon Airport. There are no long queues nor lengthy waits to get through security. It is a quiet, tranquil airport and parking charges are very reasonable. There is a small bar restaurant which serves great food after security and I always look forward to arriving early for an evening flight so I can have a nice meal here. It is unfortunate that there are not too many destinations you can fly to from Shannon.

✅ Verified Review | I departed from Shannon on a business trip. Very friendly and convenient airport. Good size to offer quality services and seating areas, without the discomfort of big and very busy airports. Short walking distances to the gates, no long queues for security and friendly staff. Sockets at each table of the cafe in the waiting area allowed to re-charge the laptop and catch up with work over a lovely cup of coffee. It would be great to have more frequent flights to European cities from Shannon.

Flew from SNN-PMI, 25 July. Lovely friendly airport, not too busy so security was quick. We went upstairs and had a look in the viewing gallery, its great. The food in the bar was a little slow to arrive but was definitely worth the wait. Boarding was quick and painless and we had no delay. On the return journey we arrived a few minutes early. Bit of a walk from the gate to the baggage area, but passport control and baggage collection were again nice and quick, despite another flight arriving the exact same time. I would recommend Shannon to anyone.

I have travelled through Shannon Airport on many occasions and find it to be really compact. Check in is quick I've never seen a large queue there. The security is also exceptionally quick and friendly. Once airside there isn't a huge amount to do. The bar staff are pleasant and friendly the duty free is large and well stocked. Overall passage through the airport is extremely quick and easy especially compared to the stress of travelling through Dublin.

I flew from Manchester to JFK via Shannon airport. Our flight left Manchester on time and arrived 10 minutes early. We were informed upon arrival that our departure would be 2 hours late which we accepted. We went had a few drinks at the bar and then proceeded through US Pre-clearance. Very few facilities after pre-clearance. Eventually at 2.50 we boarded the lovely green Aer Lingus 757 and took off. This airport is a nice airport for transfers as there is few queues and nice staff.

We flew out of Shannon mid-day on a Wednesday on Aer Lingus to Boston. We arrived at the airport very early (the check in desk was not even open) so we were the first on our flight to check in. It was very quick and smooth but I can't say what it was like an hour later. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The US customs went very quickly and they were even training some new personnel. The airport doesn't have the amenities of large airports but it is so much easier to navigate. I will probably lean toward Shannon on my next trip to Ireland.

Nice and quiet in winter anyway. Security appear totally bored and are the most abrasive unhelpful and rude I have ever come across. Searched through my bag and just scattered all of the contents every where leaving me to clear it all up. Bar staff and others back to normal Irish pleasantness. The building is undergoing improvements and should get better.

Recently departed Shannon after a holiday in Ireland. A pleasant enough airport that is easy to use and to get around. Check-in was quick and painless. Security was equally so. Maybe it was the time of day or perhaps it was not busy but the security process was the quickest we have ever encountered. There was an hour delay in departure (no fault of the airline or the airport) and my only complaint centres on staff's inability to control the passengers before boarding. This starts with a lounge area that is too small and staff not prepared to tell passengers to move back away from the desk and allow others access to boarding. The airport is not particularly busy so there is no excuse to have used such a small lounge. Apart from that all was fine.
