Kuwait City to Cork Flights

Kuwait International Airport

If you're planning to take a holiday from Kuwait City, use ebookers to find bargain flights and hotel rooms. Kuwait is serviced by Kuwait International Airport, which is just under ten miles from Kuwait City's CBD. The two most notable airlines stationed at Kuwait are Jazeera Airways and Kuwait Airways, which, between them, offer transport to a large host of destinations, such as Dubai, New York, Cairo, and London.

Kuwait's Airport Parking

Kuwait offers several options for visitors in terms of parking. Overall, 2,500 spaces are allocated for vehicles in both short-term parking zones, which charge at a modest hourly rate, and long-term parking zones, which incur a low daily fee. For those with a more expansive budget, valet parking boasts safety and comfort at a higher price.

Transport to the Airport

Buses from Kuwait City travel to and from the airport's arrivals terminal on a regular basis—these generally charge a fee of $1, and rides take approximately half an hour. Generally, however, buses do not accept passengers with a large amount of luggage. Private taxis are also readily available, charging a premium fare of $15 to $20 in exchange for reliability, luggage handling, and door-to-door service.

The Airport's Eateries

Kuwait International Airport hosts a large variety of cafés and restaurants. Managed by international retail group Aldeasa, these eateries are primarily located at the airport's central plaza. Purchase a biscuit-and-coffee deal from one of the many stalls, or order a more substantial meal from the delicious airport restaurants. For those so inclined, Aldeasa also hosts a duty-free food store—pick up a chocolate bar for immediate consumption or save it for the flight. Most importantly, enjoy your holiday and feel free to indulge. The money you'll save by using ebookers will more than make up for it.

Visiting Cork Airport

Situated on the banks of the River Lee in southern Ireland, Cork is the third-largest city in the country.

When traveling to Cork, you'll land at Cork Airport, which is located five miles south of the city centre. It is served by many domestic and international airlines, and you can find low-cost airfare on one of these by using ebookers.

If you booked a rental car with ebookers, you can pick it up at the counter in the arrivals concourse. Bus Eireann offers a direct route to the bus station on Parnell Street in Cork. If you'd prefer a private ride, you'll find the taxi stand just outside the main terminal of Cork Airport.
