Four questions Irish tourists need to ask before holidaying in Spain, Portugal and more after problems

Here are four things people need to consider while planning for the trip

Thousands of Irish holidaymakers are planning to make a trip abroad this summer in search of the sun.

But a number of tourists have gotten into difficulty recently when they failed to take the correct steps while planning for the trip.

One family had a terrible start to their holidays when one member was refused to board a flight to Spain as his passport was set to expire in five months.

And while Covid restrictions have come to an end in most places, are there any rules or documentation you still need to be aware of?

Here are four questions Irish tourists need to ask before jetting off on holidays to Spain or Portugal this summer:

Is my passport in date?

According to current European Union requirements, a passenger's passport must be less than 10 years old and have at least three months' validity on the passenger's return date.

Anyone looking to travel this summer will need to check the expiry date on their passport to make sure they are returning to Ireland with more than three months on their passport.

If your passport needs to be renewed, the Irish passport office has advised that the fastest way to do this is via their online portal .

The current turnaround time to renew an adult passport application is 10 working days. However, more complex renewals will take 15 working days and first-time passport applicants will be waiting 30 working days.

Is my Covid status correct?

Although many Covid restrictions are no longer in place, some rules still apply in order to be granted entry to Spain or Portugal.

Travellers coming from Ireland to Spain must comply with one of the following health requirements:

An EU Digital Covid Certificate or a negative certificate
A negative Covid test
A certificate of recovery from Covid within the past six months.

If you do not have an EU Digital Covid Cert or equivalent, you must complete a health control form before your departure.

You can do this through the https://www.spth.gob.es/ website or the Spain Travel Health app. Once this has been completed, you will obtain a QR code that you will have to present both at the time of boarding and upon arrival in Spain.

Children under the age of 12 or are not required to present an EU DCC or complete the SpTH Health Control form.

All tourists arriving into Portugal must present one of the following:

European Digital Covid Certificate - valid proof of full vaccination at least 14 days and no more than 270 days prior to travel. However, no time limits apply where passengers can present a European Digital Covid Cert or equivalent valid proof of having received a booster vaccine dose.
Valid proof of a negative test result for COVID-19.

A passenger locator form is no longer required for travelling to Portugal.

Children under the age of 12 are exempt from all of the above requirements.

Do I know how early I need to be at Dublin Airport?

Despite many passengers experiencing issues with long delays at security in at Dublin Airport in March, it has recently been reported that wait times at security have significantly improved since the recruitment of more staff.

On the Dublin Airport website, passengers are still advised that they arrive to the airport up to 2.5 hours before a short-haul flight, and up to 3.5 hours before a long-haul flight.

Passengers can also view the estimated Security Queue times on dublinairport.com, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger and via the Dublin Airport App.

Am I aware of the risks?

As people tend to relax on holiday and let their guard down, tourists can easily fall victim to petty crime such as scams, pickpocketing and fake ticket scams.

In a recent study, Barcelona in Spain was named as the pickpocketing capital of Europe and the city where tourists are most at risk from thieves. Tourists are also advised that Madrid in Spain has a higher risk of pickpocketing and the same crime is also increasing in parts of Portugal such as in Lisbon and the Algarve.

The Department of Foreign affairs advises Irish tourists abroad to take following basic precautions:

• Don’t carry your credit card, travel tickets and money together - leave spare cash and valuables in a safe place.

• Don’t carry your passport unless absolutely necessary and leave a copy of your passport (and travel and insurance documents) with family or friends at home.

• Avoid showing large sums of money in public and don’t use ATMs after dark, especially if you are alone. Check no one has followed you after conducting your business.

• Keep a close eye on your personal belongings and hold on to them in public places such as internet cafes, train and bus stations.

• Avoid dark and unlit streets and stairways, arrange to be picked up or dropped off as close to your hotel or apartment entrance as possible.

It takes days to reach Spain from Ireland by ferry - but it's more charming than the 2-hour flight

Jun 6, 2023 • 7 min read

Brittany Ferries' new route runs from Ireland to Spain

The ferry from Ireland to Spain takes about 30 hours more than the flight – and that makes it wonderful © courtesy Brittany Ferries

Our slow travel series explores how you can take more mindful journeys by train, boat, bus, or bike – with tips on how to reach your no-fly destination and what to see and do along the way. We asked Lonely Planet editor Amy Lynch to share her experience taking the ferry from Ireland to Bilbao , Spain .

I feel the sea-salty wind in my face, hear the roar of waves behind me. As we work our way around the coast of Brittany , I wonder why I don’t travel like this more often.

Those of us who are increasingly drawn to the concept of slow – meaning no-fly – travel are eagerly welcoming the expanding number of ferry routes connecting Western Europe . What with near-constant airline delays, rising fuel costs and the constant drumbeat of climate disaster in the back of our minds, exploring the world is becoming fraught.

I live in Ireland , and since we lack a land link to Europe, options for eco-conscious travel are limited. But not impossible. Indeed, many ferry companies take passengers to Britain , France and Spain daily. The journeys are long, with the passage to Spain taking days.

But that’s all part of the charm.

Traveling by ferry not only sits a lot easier on the conscience – it’s an experience that’s tranquil, almost to the point of relief. The boat chugs along at a slow, steady pace. You can wander the decks at your leisure, and read in a comfortable armchair while the gray-blue sea and sky pass through the window. Enjoy a choice of restaurants – or just the sea air on another outdoor deck. The journey does take 32 hours, true – that’s 30 hours more than the flight. Yet if you have the time to spare, it’s a small price to pay.

The departure: dinner on board, before a midnight launch

I was on a recently launched route from Brittany Ferries , from Rosslare ( County Wexford ) in the southeast of Ireland to Bilbao in the north of Spain, aboard the Salamanca, the first LNG-powered ferry to operate between Ireland and mainland Europe. I started by taking the train from Dublin ’s Connolly station in the city center to the ferry terminal at Rosslare Europort station. The train journey took a full three hours – yet I wanted to ensure that every stage of my trip was as eco-conscious as the sea-crossing. Start as you mean to go on.

A well-signposted five-minute walk took me from the train station to the terminal. Yet it occurred to me that there will need to be some more joined-up thinking if authorities want to encourage more eco-friendly itineraries: the last train to Rosslare got in at 8:42pm – which meant a more-than-three-hour wait before the midnight ferry departure.

There’s no pedestrian access to the ship; we few car-less passengers were driven into the hold by a minibus, then directed up to the decks via an elevator. Delightfully, there was none of the stress of an airport security check; my shoes and belt stayed firmly on.

The cabins on board Brittany Ferries’ Salamanca

I had a two-berth Commodore Club cabin on the outer edge of deck 9, which meant – yes! – a porthole. It was pleasant and clean – and, with a journey taking place over two nights and a day, undoubtedly the most comfortable option. The cabin was easy to find and relatively big (think budget hotel room), with an en-suite bathroom, video on demand, and tea and coffee with a kettle. Passengers can also reserve reclining seats for the journey.

I had plenty of time to wander the decks and grab some food and a glass of wine before we launched 90 minutes after midnight. This proved to be the smart choice: if you’re prone to seasickness, use the time before launch to eat and drink. Once the engines rev up and you start moving onto open water, the shaking of the ferry is noticeable and takes some time to adapt to.

The journey: a cabin with a view, plus multiple dining options

At the end of March, the journey was quiet – even serene, thanks to the spacious boat and low passenger count. The lounges are gently lit, with splashes of color in the design. Abundant screens provide info and entertainment.

With my cabin, I got a little green bracelet that granted me access to the C-Club Lounge , a section at the ship’s bow (its front, as I learned) with a beautiful view of the sea in front of us, and a buffet that is refreshed for different meals during the day (think curries, salads, soup, sandwiches, meats, cheeses, cakes and fruit). There were drinks both hot and cold, with alcohol and without. There was even red wine on tap – a favorite among most customers.

The CC Lounge food, and Plaza Mayor aboard Brittany Ferries’ Salamanca

I had the choice of a couple of other restaurants on the ship , including, keeping with the theme of the route, the Spanish Taberna de Tapas. There’s also the larger Restaurant Azul, and the Plaza Mayor bar and cafe, inspired by the famous square of the same name in the old city of Salamanca . These spaces had a convivial feel, with passengers chatting and making friends as they had a beer at the bar or some tapas in the restaurant.

On board, you can also take advantage of duty-free shopping, an interactive information area for research before you land at your destination and an outdoor sundeck with seating and exercise machines. Families will be glad for the three different children’s play areas on board.

These amenities become extremely important once you learn the price of the onboard wi-fi. The first 90 minutes are free; after that, you can pay from €3.50 for one hour up to €20 for six hours. So it’s best not to count on logging on too much during the trip. Still, not having the option to offers the chance for relaxation. Bring a book, and enjoy the break from screens.

The bridge deck on Brittany Ferries’ Salamanca

Key moments: a visit to the bridge, and Spain-inspired artworks

One of my favorite features of the journey was the Salamanca-inspired art that you could find dispersed around the passenger decks. The ferry has been fitted with over 200 individual artworks inspired by the Unesco World Heritage site of Salamanca and the Castilla y León region. A personal favorite was the artwork inspired by Velázquez’s famous Las Meninas : a “Menina” statue by Spanish artist Felipao, created in a 3D polyhedral format, that greets you in the C-Club Lounge (the biggest of several Meninas on display). Another favorite piece: a large street art mural by Rubén Sánchez, deck 10 (an outdoor sundeck for passengers). I spotted it when I went out during the night for some stargazing.

The arrival: onward to Bilbao’s center

The ferry arrived in Bilbao bang on time, 8am on Sunday. My fellow foot passengers and I had to wait for all the cars and caravans to disembark before a staff member drove us to the terminal.

It’s a good idea to have a plan for how to continue on your journey at this point, whether that’s organizing a taxi to the center of Bilbao (about 20 minutes), or a 5km walk or drive to the Santurtzi train station, which also goes into Bilbao.

It would be great to see more public-transport links and ferry-terminal facilities added on both ends to encourage non-drivers to use the ferry. Ferry ports and terminals have yet to be designed with foot passengers as a priority.

The Salamanca pulls into the port at sunrise, Bilbao, Spain

For on-foot passengers without a car it's about €235 one-way. The cost increases significantly if you book a cabin. It's €214 per cabin for a four-berth cabin with a window and €186 for one without a window. You could, however, keep costs down by just reserving a seat for sleeping at an additional €15.

If I could do it all again…

The one concession I will make for my next journey by ferry is to bring some seasickness tablets. Rough weather can mean a rolling, swaying deck, and I was incapacitated for some of the trip by queasiness. (This should be less of a concern for anyone traveling in the summer months.)

Spacious, calm and with the ever-present soothing sound of the sea, this ferry journey is, in this traveler’s opinion, far superior to air travel.

Top 5 airlines flying to Spain

Great customer service. Frequent updates from the pilot. Smooth flight. Good entertainment. Meal service.

Plane could have been cleaner. There were many crumbs and crud around the seat mounts.

The flight was half full and I presume that the next few days are even less busy not sure why they are still charging a premium to change a flight.

Short flight so not much to rate. Surprised I had to pay for a soda.

the room on the plane was good but that is because flight not sold the other three seat and I had room. the food in terrible.

First the price I paid was excellent, my flight was full, but my seat was roomy. The one downside to the experience was they had games on the entertainment console. The guy behind me poked at my head about half the flight. I hope they get rid of this feature.

Delayed due to weather... fine. But then the board us. Rows 15 and back had to go down the stairs and back up the back stair entrance to the plane. No assistance offered. Then they inform us that we are delayed for paperwork for an hour. So why did we board? Then, about 45min later they inform us that it'll be another 60-90mins. Really? No wifi, no seat entertainment, no drink or snacks offered. And we were not allowed to deboard.

Very good need to offer better choice of food for business

Great travel. Wonderful experience. Hope to do it again in the near future. God willing

They should. Heck planes more often not when they are suppose to be leaving causing delays

We Boarded the plane in the middle of the airport field . We were shuttled and climbed up the stairs, to board the plane,

Dreadful - queued to get onto a bus, stood for 10 minutes on the bus, drove to the plane, stood for another 25 minutes on the bus outside the plane. When allowed on we could only board from the front & were seated in the furthest row back. The second bus was allowed to board from the back so chaos ensued!. The flight was an hour late - nobody said why, nobody apologised. On arrival at Heathrow we stood for nearly 30 minutes before being allowed off - again with no explanation,

Most important was the effciency - on-time take-offs and landings, no missed connections, baggage arrived correctly. Friendly & professional crew. Less important was food/drink. Pretty spartan, but we'll know next time and bring our own stuff.

Delayed takeoff was inconvenient. We should have boardrd later. Coffee/ beverage service on a 7:30 flight would have been good.

Flight from Lisbon to Barcelona was ok. Business flight Boston to Lisbon was awful. Attendants should pay more attention to Business Passengers and not be so stingy with water. Worse Business Flight I have ever taken. Food was awful. Cramped for space.

People seated in exit rows should have designated overhead space

Disastrous boarding. Entered air bridge only to descend stairs and enter a bus. Plane had insufficient storage, was old and chair recline was damaged. Air stewardess was sullen.

The airline made last minute changes to our business class seats splitting our family of 4 with young children who had pre-booked a row of 4 seats. The seat was also dirty and sticky. Our pre-ordered child meals were also not available. :(

I suspect that there was an item pilfered from my bag at the TAP automated check-in counter on March 26th at Heathrow Airport around 11:30am. I think that the employee assisting me with my bags took something out of it when I was not paying attention because today, March 27th there is a notebook missing. Please check the camera to see if indeed this occurred. My description: Male, African Decent, 5'8, 180lbs medium build, wearing trousers and a jacket. Employee description: Female, Indian Decent (guessing) 5'7, slight build. Flight 1359, London to Lisbon.

The flight crew was good, the flight itself was quick and comfortable

Very delayed flight. After a hot/crowded bus ride to the tarmac stairs that negated all benefit of being in boarding group 1, we sat on the tarmac forever in the HEAT waiting for departure from Athens. Seatback was very upright in first class and therefore uncomfortable. Fortunately they block middle seats. Food was good. Upon arrival in Madrid we waited AN HOUR for baggage to arrive. What a waste of time.

No WIFI for the flight When told the breakfast item was cheese and tomato, did not mention sun dried tomotoes - totally different flavor and not what I wanted. Flyer for items for sale but none were offered.

Random seats assignment is weird, family of 2 people was seated apart while there were seats available. Does not make any sense

No air, volume on my screen was jumping all over the place

Again. Diabetic menu not for diabetic. I asked for an alternative that was refused. I am Pregnant. I did ask for help to put my carry on on the compartemt , they asked me tomwait and never came back until I asked another passenger. I ended up not eating for more than 9h. I had just a tea. And 0 Empathy from the crew.

When our first flight was late, meaning we missed our flight to Madrid that day, American rescheduled us for the next flight the next day, gave vouchers for meals and hotel, and lounge access.

Our flight was at 12:30 but we couldn’t check in till 10:30 because there was no staff working. When they finally arrived, there was a long line of people waiting to check in. They definitely need to be prepared at least a few hours ahead of the flight to be able to check people in. We’ve been there since nine in the morning. After we were checked in and went up to the gate, the staff was very nice. We were supposed to leave at 12:30 but we didn’t leave until later. When we arrived at Madrid, we had to run to our gate so we wouldn’t miss our connecting flight. The time that we got to our gate, they were calling last call for the flight. We were all out of breath from running and the lady that was taken our boarding pass and passport to scan before entering the plane was very rude. She told me to stop breathing on her and that she understood it was from running, but it’s a hygiene issue. I was embarrassed and felt degraded. All I could do was look at my husband. He couldn’t believe that she said that, the reason we were breathing hard in the first place was because of her airline that she worked for was late, which caused us almost missed our connecting flight. I was trying to catch my breath from running I couldn’t just stop! The staff on the plane were very polite. We got the premium economy and even though are seats had more room it didn’t look much different from economy. Besides our meals and snacks if we asked for any drinks, we had to pay for extra drinks. We got the same meals as economy. We had to still walk all the way to the back to use the lavatory because we were not allowed to use the one near us because that was for business class. I honestly don’t think it’s worth paying for a premium economy with Iberia. I wanted to do the tax receipt in Madrid from all the purchases we made in Spain and Portugal, but since we had a run our gate, we didn’t have time to do that. I did like that the flight had different meals for my three year old. We probably won’t travel with Iberia again.

The main improvement would be better food, although this flight had better food than outgoing flight from JFK to Bilbao.

Awful!! Flight from Miami was delayed. Therefore we missed connecting flight. Nobody knows where our suitcases are for 2 days already !!! As far as the air craft: TVs are not working, food ala cart and even that looked awful. Did dare to taste. If you want a blanket - bring your own. Nothing is free.

My flight was cancelled after a 7 hour delay. I am awaiting a refund.

It is just fine but I am okat withi it is because for a 30$ flight I didn't expect anything more.

The whole flight was coughing and farting all the way. It was impossible to breathe. If people are traveling sick they should either not be allowed to fly or made wear masks

J'ai perdu le billet 🎟 faute de visa j'ai pas eu de remboursement. J voulais prendre un autre Est-ce que yaura une solution

I will never fly vueling. 1h30 delayed, connexion missed with the crew closing the boarding in front of us. 40 people missed the Barcelona-Orly connexion. hours waiting for rebooking and hotel.. inadmissible

3 hr flight from Barcelona to Gran Canaria. Ŵent according to plan No issues with staff oŕ flight. Many people includiñg us could not get luggage self checķ in termìnals to work. Had to wait in check in line.

The communication about the delay could have been better before and during the flight. Also, this online form could have less bugs. It is almost impossible to type in this window.

Boarding was very poor as the flight was initially delayed. We were told the flight would be at 21:40. We were with our 10 month baby who was sleeping. I received an email from Kayak which said the flight was now due to take off at 21:04. When we checked the screens at Gatwick we were told the gate was closed. The lack of communication was extremely poor and we had to run with our baby and there were many other passengers, including elderly people, also running to the gate. When we got to the gate, the staff had no reasons for the poor communication.

We got to the airport 2 hours before the flight. We waited in a line to check our bags onto the flight for an hour, even despite having checked in online, as there weren't enough self check terminals allocated to Vueling (yet loads of empty BA ones right next to them). There also weren't enough staff, making them stressed and rude. We had to try and rush through security to get to our gate, which they announced as gate 35 at first and then changed it after ten minutes with no announcement to anyone in the airport that it had changed. So we then had to rush to the correct gate to arrive just as boarding started. It was a thoroughly stressful process and one travelling couple almost missed boarding because of it. The flight boarding and the flight itself werre fine, the staff were polite, but I was dehydrated due to the airport and had to buy a bottle of water as they didn't offer free drinks.

It was a short flight but the seat was very straight. I didn’t need any service, but wifi was not available. In resume, a normal service. Nice, the punctuality. Thanks

You have couple of KG's grace on checked luggage

Long delay. Terrible airport - too busy, not enough seating or food/drink outlets.

Worse situation ever. Arriving at 4 am with 7 Hours of delay

Booked extra legroom seats but as plane had changed we ended up with normal seats. Very little attempt from staff to sort it out

Seats very uncomfortable for a 4 hour flight, what entertainment? Food overpriced. But sure it’s Ryan Air, what else would I expect?

This was one of the best travel experiences we've ever had with Ryanair. The flight boarded on time in Dublin, departed on time, and arrived on time in Split, even though the flight was full. The aircraft was clean, and all members of the cabin crew were both friendly and efficient. Even our fellow passengers were well behaved! So top marks to all concerned!

flight delayed, no information given until late on, Ryanair app said "on time" until 5 minutes before expected departure time, crew rushed us to board, when it was already 3 hours late

Due to long security check and no last call announcements from Gate staff, my family and 12 other passengers missed the flight.

What can you say Ryanair get you there,no frills Not so cheap anymore ..... but what is now days! Would use again as always. Good flight times for us.

3 hours delay, non comunicated until past the time of original boarding, no assistance, witnessed land crew shouting at a passenger

Ryanair is the worst airline in Europe and easily one of the worst in the planet
