Dublin Airport (DUB)
 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: ... check-in it has a knock on effect and can be quite irritating. It is the busiest airport in Ireland and it is very badly laid out considering the amount of passengerrs going through its terminals every day. However it is ever expanding. There is alot of work going on at the moment and it seems as though its been going on for ages. They are building a second terminal. There are also plans ... more ... underway for a rail link to the airport from the city centre of dublin which would make for much easier access.
It is quite confusing and difficult to find the particular check in desk you are looking for sometimes and this is mainly because of the over cr...more |

I have flown out of Dublin many times Once to Arrecife, Lanzarote Once to JFK New York Twice to Sanford, Orlando FL Once to Rome Ciampino and most recently to Sharm el Sheikh Egypt And everytime we've been to this airport there has been a delay of some description. Even if its just a delay at check-in it has a knock on effect and can be quite irritating.

I decided on a long weekend to Dublin with some friends in August and so I found myself onboard a plane that zoomed into Dublin airport on a dreary, dismal weekday morning. My friends and I sleepily stumbled off the plane and followed the herd of people making their way out the airport and soon realised that we'd flew into a gate that was quite a distance from anywhere. We seemed to be walking for miles and still hadn't reached security! There was a moveable conveyer belt type walkway, but it only ran in the opposite direction to the direction we were going in, so we had to make use of the old boot leather. We just found the whole experience rather funny, but ...

I recently travelled to Dublin for a long weekend with 7 friends, and all in all we had a pretty pefect time. The city was great, the accomodation fine for what we needed, and the travelling smooth and straight-forward. I have now used Dublin airport twice, once in December last year, and once in November 2003. The first time I used the airport was on a staff trip and I have to confess I don't remember much!! I was more than a little hungover during the time I spent there. Last December however, I was sober, and overall fairly impressed with the airport as a whole. When our flight arrived in to Dublin airport I found it easy to navigate, passport ...
