Dublin (DUB):
Location:
10 km/6 Miles N of the City.
Airport
Overview: One large terminal with departures on the upper level and
arrivals on the lower. There are several bus stops outside arrivals. Terminal
D is now under construction. Area 14 has now opened: It is a basement check-in
area in Terminal 1 and is used for Aer Lingus flights to the UK & Germany.
Driving Directions:
The airport is easy to access from the M50 or M1/N1.
◊Coming from the South or West - Most major national roads (N81, N7, N4, N3, N2) lead to the M50 ring road.
Head north on the M50 to the north M1 exit and stay in the left lane. The airport roundabout is the first traffic light you will reach.
Just follow the signpost directions to long-term parking, short-term parking, or departures. ◊Coming from the North - The N1/M1 heading south will take you directly to the airport roundabout. Just follow the
signpost directions. ◊Coming from the East - Heading north on the N1/M1 will take you directly to the airport
roundabout. Just follow the signpost directions. ◊Note: The Dublin Port Tunnel
is now open for cars. The tunnel runs from Dublin Port (1km east of city centre) to the M1 Motorway about 0.5 km from the M50 junction northbound, and is a very quick way to reach the airport if the city traffic is bad.
It would normally take 45-55 mins to reach the airport from the city centre using surface roads during busy traffic periods,
but using the tunnel can reduce journey time to 10-15 min. Cars using the tunnel pay a toll ranging from
€3 - 12, depending the time of day, but if you need to get to the airport in a hurry to make a flight, it is well worth paying.

There are free shuttle buses that runs continuously between the terminal (through the short term car park and out the other side) and Long-term parking. It is essential that you carry your parking ticket with you, because the parking fee must be paid at one of the pay stations either in the Arrivals terminal, or outside the Arrivals terminal at the entrance to the Short term parking area. Passengers who have paid their parking fee should return to the Long Term Car Park on the free shuttle bus. As this is a remote car park, customers should arrive at the car park 40 mins before check-in time in order to allow adequate time to transfer from the car park to the terminal. Charges: €9.50 per day (or part thereof). Long Term Car parks are colour coded: Red, Blue or Green for ease of location. |
