Dublin Airport (DUB)

 
Description: Dublin Airport (IATA: DUB, ICAO: EIDW), or Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath in Irish, is operated by the Dublin Airport ... more
Dublin Airport (DUB) ... Authority plc. It is by far the busiest airport in Ireland and is ranked at 15 in Europe by passenger numbers for 2006 when more than 21.1 million passengers travelled through the airport. To put this into context, the population of Greater Dublin is approx. 1.6 million, that of the Republic of Ireland just over 4 million, and the island of Ireland just under 6 million. Two major milestones occurred at Dublin Airport in 2006. Passenger numbers in June passed the two million mark for the first time in a single month (this was repeated in July, August, and September). On 8 December the airport welcomed its 20 millionth passenger of the year. The airport is located approximately 10 kilometres north of Dublin City in an area known as Collinstown. The airport is the headquarters of Ireland's flag carrier Aer Lingus, and Europe's largest no-frills airline Ryanair. Ireland's third airline, CityJet, is based in the nearby town of Swords. Ireland's domestic and regional airline, Aer Arann, provides domestic and several UK and European routes from Dublin, but its base is Galway Airport in the west of Ireland.

Newest Review: ... hotels are part of the scheme and from where those services operate from. This is definitely an area which needs improvement based on my visit, although a new metro link is being built from the airport to the city centre, which would definitely be welcome. There are a range of food outlets in the airport, from more expensive fine dining restaurants to Burger King, from Starbucks to McDonalds ... more

 ... and from newsagents to Boots, which is a good place to buy a value meal deal for lunch if you don't want to spend too much! The airport is not the biggest that I've been in by a long way, but there can be some quite long walks to get to your fligh...more

Premium Review Dublin Airport (DUB): Dublin airport, generally friendly and well presented (626 words)

This review is of Dublin airport in the Republic of Ireland, the country's national and busiest airport, situated around five miles away from the city centre of Dublin. Transfers to the centre of Dublin are a little confused, and the information staff that we asked questions of were unsure of the answers. There are good rail and bus links to the centre of Dublin, but these aren't always obvious to tourists new to the airport, especially if they don't speak English. If you are new to the city, consider getting a one day or three day travel pass, which allows you to get travel anywhere in Dublin city centre and also to and from the airport. There are ...  Read the complete review

As I am a frequent traveller through Dublin airport in the last ten years and probably pass through once every month or so I thought I'd give you a quick insight to how things are going at the moment. Dublin airport is going through a transitional period at the moment and having just had a Terminal 1 extension finished in the last year, Terminal 2 is well under way and should be open next year. One thing that hits you as you travel to or from the airport is how confusing it is right now by car when you get close as the signs are not great at the moment. I dare say they will improve again when I'm next back but at the moment it's not good and you ...  Read the complete review

I have been to Dublin airport on several occassions and my impressions of it were that it is a relativly small airport in comparison to the London airports that handels a large volume of traffic. Whislt taxiing out or in, all you see is that this airport seems to be dominated by Aer Lingus and Ryanair aircraft, which is understandable being Irish carriers. This airport is generally used for european destination flights or just outside, however, it does handle flights to and from further a field, for example, Aer Lingus have thier Airbus A330 aircraft completing transatlantic flights to the USA from Dublin. Unfortunately due to the Cul-de-sac ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Dublin airport is an unavoidable evil. (253 words)

Unfourtunatally if you need to fly into Ireland it appears that Dublin is the cheapest place to fly to. Unfourtunatally Dublin have terrible services for the cheap airlines. Therefore although people flying with more expensive firms and to far away places may sing there praises I have nothing but distain for the place, the services and the people. The place it's self is a nightmare for anyone with a connecting flight. The terminal where all the budget flights are based is miles (10-15minutes walk) from the main terminal and only has one newsagent which is intermitantly open. The service that they offer is also a nightmare. For anyone who has the ...  Read the complete review

I'm going to put in a disclaimer again to say my worst ever airport experience was encountered at Dublin Airport flying with Ryanair but I am going to point out that Dublin airport is certainly not the worst airport I have ever been in (or ever will go in).. in fact its not that bad!! But be warned my review is quite negative!! Location The airport is 10km north of Dublin City Centre and the airport has good transport links into the City Centre. Travelling by car, there are plenty of signs into the city centre. Travelling by bus is very easy - the airlink bus service (Services 747 and 748) depart every 10 minutes and take you to O Connell Street in the ...  Read the complete review
