How long is the flight from Stansted to Cork?
About an hour and a half, direct with Ryanair. You are off at 09:25 and on the ground at 10:50, which is a civilised start by day trip standards. No 04:00 alarm needed.
Why do you get so long in Cork?
Because Ireland and the UK share the Common Travel Area, so there is no immigration queue to stand in. That alone is worth about an hour against anywhere in the EU. You are in the city by 11:15, you leave at 19:45 and you land back at 23:05.
What does a day in Cork cost?
£83.85, and the shape of it is unusual. The flight is only £28.00 and the ground costs are £55.85, so you are spending twice as much in Cork as you are on getting there. That is £14.00 for the bus in and back, £4.00 locally, £17.60 for lunch and £20.25 for dinner. Ireland is not cheap once you land.
Which November date is cheapest to Cork?
The 25th at £28.00, then the 18th at £29.00 and the 27th at £32.00. Avoid Sundays, where it jumps to £155 on the 8th, £181 on the 15th and £163 on the 22nd. Midweek is where this route lives.
What should you actually do with 8.5 hours?
The English Market is the one thing everybody agrees on, and it is five minutes from where the bus drops you. After that it is walkable in any direction. We wrote the city up properly in the day trip to Cork from the UK.
Is Cork worth it in November?
For £84 and eight and a half hours, yes. Average high of 9°C and a low of 4°C on that date with rain in 2 of the last 10 years, which for Ireland in November is a result. Every date is on the trip page, and the rest from this airport are on day trips from London Stansted. Founders pay £19 a year.
