In order to enter Ireland your passport will need to be active - please ensure yours isn't close to expiring! When booking flights, please be mindful of the time change. Pending where you are flying from, Ireland will be 5/6+ hours ahead.
All guests should plan to arrive via Dublin (DUB) Airport. There are a few options to get to Belfast that we recommend or have used in the past. Feel free to reach out to others who are arriving around the same time and share transport etc! See recommendations/options below:
Car rentals - rentals can be booked and picked up directly from Dublin Airport. Please be advised this car journey is approximately 1.5-2 hours with the unique experience of driving on the left side of the road so we highly recommend taking your time and enjoying the ride!
Coach Bus - There are 2 coach services that will take you from directly from Dublin Airport, Terminal 2, to Belfast (City Center) Upper Queen Street. The coach takes approx 1.5 hours. We recommend booking this in advanced, as seats can fill up fast:

IMPORTANT: To charge your phones and/or use other electronic devices when in Ireland, you will need to use a plug converter. Here is a link to an appropriate converter for Ireland: https://a.co/d/hcgkcWA The voltage in Ireland is different from the voltage in the United States. The standard voltage in Ireland is 230 volts AC at 50 Hz. Please do your research and check what voltage your hair dyers/curlers/straighteners etc are to prevent any chance of damaging your personal items! There are converters online that you can purchase as well if needed.
