Flight Routes to and from Donegal
A number of airlines offer flight routes that take in Donegal Airport, flying via cities such as Dublin, Belfast and Glasgow and Manchester.

Getting to Donegal Town After Your Flight
Donegal Airport is only accessible by road and connects to Donegal Town via the nearby national N56 road. So, perhaps your best option is to arrange car hire with Expedia before you arrive, so once your flight lands, you can enjoy a hassle-free getaway and head for Donegal Town at your own pace.
Rather than rush straight into town you could, for instance, venture out into the surrounding area. Wonder at Donegal’s untamed coastline washed by the Atlantic Sea, explore the stunning Bluestack Mountains, admire the scenic beauty of Lough Eske or trace the Wild Atlantic Way — it’s up to you.
When to Book a Flight to Donegal
Flights to Donegal are a great idea any time of year. Donegal Town’s attractions are appealing all year-round, and the town’s warm Irish hospitality and the welcoming craic of its pubs and bars can be even more alluring in the colder months.
In spring, summer and autumn, Donegal Town comes into its own, with the opportunity to enjoy outdoor sights such as the ruins of the 15th-century, take a cruise on the Donegal Bay Waterbus, or join in the town’s regular country music events and annual August food festival.
Whatever the month, however, flights to Donegal give you a direct route to the charming town, the epic cliffs and beaches along the nearby Wild Atlantic Way and the green rolling hills, glassy lakes and traditional villages that lie just a short drive inland.
