Flying from Cork Airport? Why Staying the Night Before Makes All the Difference
When an early flight is booked, the holiday should begin with anticipation – not alarm clocks, traffic anxiety, or rushed goodbyes at the front door. That is why Cork International Hotel’s Stay, Park & Fly package for 2026 continues to be one of the smartest ways to start your journey from Cork Airport: calm, convenient, and completely stress free.
Start Your Holiday the Night Before
By staying the night before you fly, you remove the pressure of early-morning travel entirely. Instead of navigating traffic or weather at dawn, you arrive at the hotel at your leisure, check in, and immediately switch into holiday mode.
With on-site parking included, your car is safely parked for the duration of your trip, allowing you to focus solely on what matters which is enjoying the start of your break.
Dine, Unwind and Sleep Soundly
One of the most valued parts of the Stay, Park & Fly experience is the opportunity to slow down before departure. Guests can enjoy a relaxed dinner in the hotel’s New Yorker Restaurant, renowned for classic favourites and a welcoming atmosphere which is the the perfect pre-flight treat.
After dinner, retreat to a spacious bedroom designed for uninterrupted rest. A proper night’s sleep before travelling makes a remarkable difference – particularly for families, couples, and business travellers alike.
Airport Access in Minutes
On the morning of your flight, convenience truly comes into its own. Guests can avail of the complimentary shuttle service to the terminal or simply stroll across in under five minutes. No queues, no parking stress, and no rush – just a seamless transition from hotel comfort to departure gate.
