Greetings,
To get from Edinburgh to Dingle at the end of May, my mother and I opted to fly, and we found great fares on Aer Lingus. However, the Aer Lingus website would not allow me to book it all at once as a single journey, so I had to book the two legs separately (Edinburgh to Dublin, then Dublin to Kerry).
It was only AFTER booking the tickets that it dawned on me to wonder if we will have to go through immigration in between the two flights. We have (assuming flights are on time) 1 hour and 20 minutes between arrival and departure (both from the same terminal).
Does anyone know if this will be sufficient connecting time? Or if we should eat the cost of the tickets we already bought and get earlier ones out of Edinburgh to allow for a longer connecting time? I don't think the cheap fare we got allows for any changes.
(Calling Aer Lingus customer service with questions got me no definitive information. I had also called to make sure we would be able to check our bags all the way through from Edinburgh to Kerry, since they will be too large to bring as cabin baggage for the intra-Ireland leg, and Aer Lingus charges a great deal more for bags gate-checked upon arrival - and the woman had to ask someone to find out that that would even be possible. She couldn't tell me if we'd have to go through immigration or not, or if the connection time was long enough.)
Thank you in advance for any help!
