Dublin airport is around ten miles away from Dublin city center. At times it can get crowded, especially during the active tourist season, as it is quite small compared to the size of the city. It is easy to access the center of Dublin from the airport. Right outside the main entrance is a taxi rank, offering a wide selection. The fare to the city is in the range of €15-20, depending on the date and time. You can also take a coach – the coaches are directly across the road, facing the airport exit. There is a coach leaving every 15 minutes. Another option is the Dublin Bus Airlink Service. A bus ticket costs €4.50. The route is from the airport to the center and back. The buses are very frequent. The regular city bus is the cheapest option – the cost is only around €1.45. If you have a lot of luggage though, this option is not feasible. The city buses come every 20 minutes.
The two main Irish airlines are Ryanair, a great low-cost carrier, and national carrier Aer Lingus. Another Irish airline is Aer Arann, but it mainly serves domestic and cross-channel flights. Aer Lingus is based in Dublin Airport. It offers many flights, including domestic, European and transatlantic. Ryanair is one of the largest and cheapest low-cost carriers in Europe. Unfortunately its main base is Stansted, London. Every flight with Ryanair from Ireland stops off in Stansted except for flights to the UK, Paris and Brussels. Apart from the airlines’ websites you can book flights online at the Irish Ebookers website, which usually offers competitive rates.
