Arrives at: Donegal town, Abbey Hotel stop
Frequency: Sparse connecting services; long waits and some arrivals without a same-day connection

Separate tickets are needed. A complete airport-to-Donegal fare was not verified: Bus Éireann’s fare finder lists €6.16 Leap / €8.80 adult single for Dungloe → Donegal on 492; the 966 airport leg is additional. No partial-leg amount is used as the total.

Where to board & buy tickets

Where to go: CFN passenger terminal
Operating hours: Limited connections. Weekday example: airport 07:15 → Dungloe 07:50; 492 at 11:00 → Donegal 12:31. Sunday: airport 11:55; 492 at 16:10 → Donegal 17:19.
Check before travelling: 966 is the airport-to-Dungloe service, not a direct bus to Donegal town. Check both dated timetables: https://www.transportforireland.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/TFI-LLR966-Dec24.pdf and the current 492 PDF linked by Bus Éireann. No Christmas Day 966 service is published.
Good to know: Change between Lower Main Street Car Park (966) and opposite Sweeneys Hotel (492) in Dungloe; walking and waiting are required. Afternoon weekday flight arrivals miss the last listed 492 departure from Dungloe. This is a planning option, not a through-ticket or guaranteed flight connection.

Questions

Before you leave the airport

A few useful answers about fares, routes and arrivals.

Can I get directions straight to my hotel?

Yes. Choose My hotel / address and enter the name or address. Driving and transit links open Google Maps with that destination. Listed airport fares and times remain a reference to the stated stop or zone, not a hotel quote.

Where do the taxi and public transport prices come from?

We use airport, transport operator and official tariff sources. Each researched option shows its source and review date. Fixed fares, metered estimates and from-prices are labelled separately. Missing or outdated prices are not guessed.

Does the car price include rental and parking?

No. The optional estimator calculates fuel from road distance × consumption ÷ 100 × price per litre, then adds only the tolls you enter. Rental, insurance, parking and other charges are separate.

Which transport option is best?

It depends on your destination, luggage, group and arrival time. The comparison uses verified information and labels only supported advantages. A listed train ride time excludes waiting and travel from the station to your hotel.

Can I use this for a late-night arrival?

Add the time you expect to leave arrivals in the airport's local timezone. We check listed service hours where available. Allow for baggage and passport control, and verify the last departure or holiday timetable with the operator.

How are group fares calculated?

Adult single fares, including shared taxis priced per passenger, are multiplied by the number of adults. For fares priced per vehicle, a group total is calculated only when vehicle capacity is confirmed. Children's fares and unlisted extras are not assumed.

Why does Google Maps show a different transit route?

Google Maps uses your destination and current journey options. It may choose a different connection because of departure time, disruptions or the final address. The researched airport service remains useful background.
