Prepare your Galway journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Shannon Airport (SNN) or Ireland West Airport Knock (NOC), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Galway hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- An airport arrival with several stops: If your flight is booked at Shannon Airport (SNN), use Ennis arrival planning and Limerick arrival planning for the separate hotel or venue addresses. Say whether the enquiry covers one continuous itinerary or individual local transfers, with passengers and bags for each leg.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.

Planning your Galway journey
How do SNN and NOC compare for a Galway transfer?
Shannon Airport (SNN) is about 64 km from the Galway map reference in a straight line; Ireland West Airport Knock (NOC) is about 73 km. These figures are not road distances. Base the enquiry on the booked flight and actual destination address; road access and collection arrangements are checked separately.
Can one enquiry cover groups landing at different airports near Galway?
List each airport, flight number, arrival time and passenger count separately. If one group lands at SNN and another at NOC, say whether they need separate vehicles or whether you want a combined itinerary assessed. Do not assume a single vehicle can meet both schedules.
What happens if the destination after landing is Ennis?
Use Ennis as the actual destination rather than entering only Galway as the wider area. Add the hotel or venue address and luggage count so the quote covers the requested end point.
How do the Ennis and Limerick stops compare from Galway?
From the Galway geographic reference, Ennis is approximately 47.9 km away in a straight line and Limerick is 73.4 km away. A further destination reference is Athlone, approximately 75.8 km from Galway. Compare the time needed at each visit before choosing the pickup order. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
Plan the next part of your journey
For an Ireland trip combining Galway and Sligo, distinguish a direct onward transfer from a day with visits along the way. Provide the final hotel or venue address and any required return to Galway.
