Airline & Holiday Information

Officially opened in 1940 with a single flight to Liverpool, Dublin Airport is now the busiest in all of Ireland.  More than 23 million travellers pass through its doors yearly and 78 different airlines operate out of the terminals.  Ireland’s national carrier, Aer Lingus, is headquartered there, as is budget flight innovator Ryanair.  Flights from Dublin now depart for destinations all over the world. 

To be sure you reach the airport in time, hail a taxi or use one of the city’s express bus routes.  Taxis and minibuses are readily available and generally fast; buses are more affordable and can be quicker thanks to direct routes to the airport.  Most major hotels also provide a free shuttle service to and from the airport to ensure you’re always on time for your flights from Dublin.

Dublin Airport is fully accessible for disabled travellers and also provides additional amenities such as currency exchange kiosks and ATMs; a full service bank and post office; an array of restaurants and pubs; duty-free shopping and a shopping concourse; luggage lost-and-found office; business services including phones; faxes; and photocopy; meeting rooms; catering; a pharmacy; a free nursery; and ample baby-change facilities throughout the complex.

Two major hotels—The Holiday Inn Dublin Airport and Dublin Airport Great Southern Hotel—are located right on the premises.  With several other quality hotels close nearby, there’s no reason to miss early flights from Dublin.
