The line 40 bus runs from 10:00 to 11:55. The line 275 bus runs from 06:00 to 22:00.

Where do I find the bus at Kerry Airport?

All buses leave from the bus bays located at Kerry Airport. The bus stops are all located outside of the main terminal building, and of course, be sure to check the bus numbers carefully to ensure you’re getting on the correct line from the airport to Tralee, and then on to Dingle.

Convenience

Although line 275 runs from Tralee to Dingle multiple times a day, line 40 to Tralee only runs three times a day at 10:55, 11:15 and 11:55. This means that taking the bus is not a transfer option if you land after these times. An alternative option is to take a taxi from the airport to Tralee bus station and catch the bus to Dingle, but keep in mind this will add additional cost to your transfer. Once you reach Tralee, you will also need to figure out how to get to your hotel by walking with your luggage, taking another bus, or getting a short ride in a local taxi.

Editor’s Note

Be sure to check the bus schedules as the line 40 bus stops running before the line 275 bus. You may need to take a taxi into Tralee to reach the bus station during the evening.

Useful Tips

To save time in the airport, you can purchase your bus tickets online in advance.
Try to arrive early for your bus to ensure you get a seat.
There's limited luggage storage on the bus, so this is a good option for those travelling light.
