Direct Flights from Alicante twice a week on Ryan Air to Kerry Ireland

Kerry Airport

Ryan Air now offer twice a week direct flights from Alicante to Kerry. Departing on a Wednesday and Saturday. The flight time is 2.5 hours. Tipoa Car Hire offer rental car services at Kerry Airport and nearby Killareny town centre.

Kerry Airport is a very small "cute" international & domestic airport, with direct flights to Portugal, UK & Spain.

It takes only minutes to travel through the airport, including the security process. On arrival simply walk out of the doors, and take a right and continue walking just meters to the Long Term Car Park where the car hire companies are located. 

A short walk to the long term car park

The opening hours are 08:00-21:00 hrs Monday to Fridays, and 08:00-18:00hrs at weekends. However it is possible to collect and drop-off outside of these hours.

If you allow yourself 30 mins from your scheduled arrival time to walk to the desk, complete the paperwork and soon you will be on your way.

Killarney and Limerick

Kerry Airport is conveniently located for the  #Killarney National Park, Kerry, Cork and Limerick.

I recommend the 5* #Aghadoe Heights Hotel and Spa, at Killarney Lake

Ross Castle, Killarney

Ross Castle at Killarney is well worth a visit. The last property Cromwell laid siege to in Ireland.


There is a small old fashioned petrol station located less than a kilometer from Kerry Airport, should you need to top up with fuel when you return your hire car.
