Take off with Shannon Bear: Snap, Share & Win Flights to New York

Shannon Airport is celebrating the launch of its newest travel companion, Shannon Bear, with an exciting competition offering passengers the chance to win return flights to New York.

Over the next two weeks, departing passengers can purchase their limited-edition Shannon Bear in Duty Free, take him along on their travels, and share a photo of his holiday adventures on Instagram or Facebook, tagging Shannon Airport. The most creative photo will be selected by the Shannon Duty Free team and announced on the airport’s social media channels on Friday, 31st October.

Already spotted in destinations like New York and Cannes, Shannon Bear is quickly becoming a globetrotting sensation. But he’s more than just a cuddly companion – he’s here for a great cause. Proceeds from every Shannon Bear sold will support The Shannon Airport Group’s 2025 charity partners: Clare Crusaders and Little Blue Heroes, two remarkable organisations dedicated to helping children with additional needs and families navigating long-term medical care.

Alan Reynolds, Head of Retail at Shannon Duty Free, said: “It’s been wonderful to see Shannon Bear heading off on his holidays with passengers since his launch last month. This competition is a fun way to follow his travels while giving back to two incredible charities. One lucky winner will soon be heading to New York – and they’ll have made a meaningful difference along the way.”
