When comparing flights to Ireland, it's tempting to focus on the lowest fare or shortest total travel time. But there's another detail worth considering: whether your connection happens before or after your overnight transatlantic flight.

I generally recommend connecting in the North America and flying directly to Ireland from there, rather than flying overnight to London, Amsterdam, or Paris and making another connection.
In this episode, I explain why that choice can make your journey easier and help you enjoy more of your first day in Ireland.
What you'll learn:
• Why I prefer North American connections when flying to Ireland
• What travelers should know about connecting through London Heathrow
• How a European layover can affect your first day in Ireland
• What happened when a canceled flight nearly sent my young daughters and me through Paris
• When a European connection might actually be worth considering
The cheapest flight isn't always the best flight. Think about how you'll feel when you arrive, not just how much you'll spend getting there.
