How long does it take to get through customs?
Permalink  

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year!


 Long time, no chat! It's getting to be crunch time since we have less than 2 months until our trip :o)

Of the three of us that are going on this trip, none of us have ever flown internationally. I was just wondering about how long it usually takes to get through customs after we land at Shannon Airport. Just a ballpark figure is okay because I know there are several factors that can play into it. I'm just thinking about booking our car soon and I wasn't sure what time to put as our pick-up. The flight lands at 6:55am on a Thursday. 

 

Thanks in advance for any input! We have everything else all booked so this is the final big expense we are getting out of the way :o)]

 

Michelle

Glad to hear your trip is moving along. I'm sure you are counting down the days till your departure!

I've never spent more than 15 minutes getting through immigration at Shannon. I suppose if there was a whole group of planes arriving at one time that might be different. But especially that early, I don't think there will be any problems. You will need to get your luggage before you get to the car rental desk so will need time for that. Most car companies will ask for your flight info. With that in hand they will know about cancellations, delays, etc.

Be sure to read the post about car rentals and my car page.

Thank you! Yes, they asked for my flight information so they should be in the loop. We're only taking carry ons so we should move right along then!
I saw you recently returned from a trip yourself. I hope it was wonderful!
