Departure: Shannon Airport (about 1h 15m by road from Galway) (SNN)

Flights from Galway to Manchester leave from Shannon Airport (about 1h 15m by road from Galway) (SNN), serving Galway - galway is Ireland's lively western city of street music, the Latin Quarter and Eyre Square, on the way to Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: From Shannon Airport scheduled coaches run to Galway in around an hour and a half, but times are limited, especially late in the evening; from Knock the options are fewer, and from Dublin Airport coaches and trains take two and a half hours or more with a change. A private car is door to door, with no waiting and room for luggage, and is the easiest way to reach the Cliffs of Moher, Connemara or Westport.

Return flight from Manchester to Galway

How much is a flight from Galway to Manchester?

Flight prices from Galway to Manchester follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Galway to Manchester flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.
