FAQs - booking Ireland flights

  • How do you get downtown from the Dublin Airport?

    You can take a public bus from the airport into the city of Dublin. The airport bus will take you to Sutton Station. From here, you can take another bus to your final destination.

    Dublin is one of the largest cities in Ireland. It is also just a short drive from the big cities of Louth and Belfast, making this a convenient airport to fly into if you're visiting eastern or northern Ireland.
