Shannon Airport (SNN) to Limerick, Galway and Ennis
Route 343 into Limerick costs 6.80 EUR and leaves about every 40 minutes, taking around 50 minutes.
- A single into Limerick on route 343 is 6.80 EUR, for a ride of about 50 minutes.
- Departures run about every 40 minutes from the airport.
- Every Bus Eireann service on the Galway, Limerick and Cork corridor passes through the airport.
- That is unusual. Most regional airports get a branch service; Shannon sits on the main road route.
- Frequent direct coaches run to Limerick city and to Ennis.
- A change at Cork, Ennis, Galway or Limerick reaches most of the national network.
- Ennis is the gateway to County Clare, the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher.
- A Leap card buys the cheapest fares on the TFI network.
What the bus costs
- About every 40 minutes from the airport, which is a real frequency rather than a flight timed service.
- Fifty minutes is longer than the map suggests, because the 343 runs via Bunratty rather than straight down the motorway.
- A Leap card buys the cheapest fares across the TFI network if you are staying and travelling further.
On the main corridor
- The Galway to Limerick to Cork route runs through Shannon Airport, so the airport is served by full intercity coaches rather than a shuttle.
- Direct coaches to Limerick city and to Ennis run frequently on top of that.
- This is why Shannon is genuinely usable without a car, unlike most airports of its size.
Where you can get to
- All of these are single changes on the Bus Eireann network.
