Hey everyone! I'm figuring out my departure flight from Belfast and I'd like some information.

The flight departs at 06:10 AM from the Belfast International Airport. I saw there's a direct route via the Grand Central Station, but it says it opens at 4:30 AM and the journey takes around 50 mins to arrive at the airport.

This seems like a very tight schedule - is there no other option to get there earlier?

Alternatively, is sleeping at the airport allowed so I can get this early flight? Thanks in advance!

Hey there! I'll be visiting Ireland solo from August 25th to August 30th and I don't know how to plan a good itinerary yet.

I'll be arriving via Belfast and departing via Dublin or vice-versa (flights not purchased yet) and alongside these two cities I'd like to visit Galway and Kilkenny. I plan on staying 2 nights in Belfast, 1 night in Galway and 3 nights in Dublin, but I'm open to shifting those as I've not booked any accomodation yet. I'll be doing hostels as I'm solo.

This is my idea as of now:

Day 1 (25th): Arrive via Belfast at night;

Day 2 (26th): Explore the city, museums, Belfast Cathedral, Belfast Castle, maybe some pubs as well

Day 3 (27th): Take a bus / train to Dublin, visit Dublin Castle, visit St Patrick's Cathedral

Day 4: (28th): Take a day trip to Kilkenny

Day 5: (29th) Take a bus to Galway, visit the Cliffs of Doher, stay the night in Galway

Day 6: (30th) Return to Dublin and take my flight back.

This is just a general idea and I would love any recs on how many stays I should book in each city, or if any of them is best served as a day trip instead.

I'm interested in experiencing the cities as much as possible, visiting museums and also do some sightseeing on natural sites.

Thanks for any recs!
