Getting straight off a long-haul flight and facing into big queues is a pain, isn\u2019t it? Well if you connect, you won\u2019t have to bother with all that because Ireland is the only country in Europe that has <\/span>U.S. Preclearance<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That means you can clear all U.S. Customs, Immigration and Agriculture checks <\/span>before<\/span><\/i> you board your transatlantic flight in Dublin.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you land in New York, Boston, Chicago or anywhere else in the USA you fancy, you\u2019re treated as a domestic passenger. Just pick up your bags from the carousel and head straight to the arrival halls. Trust us, it\u2019s such a relief to head straight out after a long flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just keep in mind that U.S. Preclearance isn\u2019t available on our evening flights to New York JFK or Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n
