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: ... 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 layout of the airport, a number of delays are created by aircraft waiting to push-back, unlike places like London Gatwick where the terminal layout has aircraft parked in straight lines avoiding this congestion ... more

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

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

Having used Dublin Airport on a few occasions I found the last occasion to be the worst for numerous reasons and my review is based on that trip. ARRIVAL Dublin Airport is 10KM from the city and there are plentiful buses that go from the airport to the city as well as taxis and coaches. We flew with Ryan Air and arrived on time at the airport. We had to exit the plane and walk across the tarmac to get to the airport building. It was then a long walk to arrivals, my partner was walking at a speedy pace and I told him not to bother as he would be shattered at the end of the walk!! 15 minutes later you arrive at passport control. Expect ...  Read the complete review

Dublin airport is one of the busiest airports in Europe, serving several tens of thousands of passengers each day. It is located about ten kilometres from the centre of Dublin, which makes it easy and cheap to get to or from. Of course, if you are driving then you can park at the airport. As I don´t live in Ireland I don´t drive to the airport- my friend takes me! There are several bus services that take passengers to and from the airport, including Airlink and Flybus. Unfortunately there is no train service. Inside the airport, one finds what one expects to find in an International Airport- plenty of shops and restaurants. Apparently ...  Read the complete review
