That kind of gives the best of both worlds.

And I think that's probably the perfect way to experience it.

Sarah Slattery from thetravelexpert.ie previously told us about places you could go to using the Ireland West Airport at Knock.

Today she's going to Shannon for us in County Clare because I understand Sarah there's plenty of new routes to continental Europe from Shannon.

Yeah, there's actually 40 different destinations from Shannon Airport that you can go to.

New routes to Rome, Madrid and Frankfurt.

And I know people will be familiar with probably with Aer Lingus, New York and Boston.

But it's also important to remember United Airlines go to Chicago from Shannon as well.

So lots of different options, lots of sun holidays, city breaks.

I actually flew from Shannon myself last year and it was great.

It was airside in minutes.

I think the furthest car parking spot is eight minutes walk from the terminal.

So very, very handy to fly from.

And how much would it cost to leave your car there for a week?

I think it's about 70 euros.

And as I said, that's not like, you know, far away.

The furthest you can be is eight minutes.

So you may even be five, six minutes with that 70 euros.

And you can literally park right outside the door as well.

So, yeah, very, very handy.
