About Dublin
Ireland's busiest airport.
Dublin Airport is the principal gateway to Ireland and the busiest airport on the island, handling around 33 million passengers a year across two terminals. T1 is the older facility (the iconic 'pier' building with circular gates) and T2 the newer flagship that opened in 2010, Aer Lingus and most long-haul carriers operate from T2; Ryanair and most other short-haul use T1.
It's a strong long-haul hub for travellers going west, pre-clearance immigration for the United States is available, allowing passengers to clear US Customs and Border Protection before boarding and arrive as a domestic flight on landing.
For UK travellers, Dublin is often the cheapest jumping-off point for transatlantic and Caribbean routes thanks to Aer Lingus's pricing and the pre-clearance time saving on arrival in the US.
Getting to DUB
From the M1 northbound, take exit 2 (the airport is signposted). From central Dublin, allow 25 minutes off-peak; from Belfast, around 100 minutes via the M1.
There's no direct rail link to the airport. The MetroLink heavy-rail project is in long-term planning. The nearest station is Connolly in central Dublin, with onward bus.
Dublin Bus's Airlink Express (routes 747 and 757) runs from O'Connell Street and Heuston Station every 15-20 minutes during the day. Aircoach and Bus Éireann run longer-distance services to Cork, Galway and the rest of Ireland.
From the UK, Dublin is also reached by ferry (Holyhead-Dublin Port) plus a short taxi to the airport, a useful option if you're travelling with a vehicle.
How parking works at Dublin
Official car parks are operated by daa (the airport authority) and graded Short Term, Express Red (long-stay value) and Express Green (long-stay premium). All are connected to the terminals by a free shuttle.
Off-airport park-and-ride and meet-and-greet is established and competitive, independent operators run from the surrounding villages, with shuttle intervals typically every 20-30 minutes.
Tips travellers wish they'd known
- Pre-clearance for the US adds 30-60 minutes to your departure, arrive at least 3 hours before US-bound flights.
- Off-airport park-and-ride is usually 30-40% cheaper than the airport's Express Red lot for stays of 4+ nights.
- Confirm your terminal in advance, switching at last minute means a walk between T1 and T2.
- Aer Lingus's transatlantic fares are typically lowest if booked from Dublin rather than from a UK airport, worth pricing both.
