Dublin Airport is one of the busiest airports in Europe and more than 23.5 million passengers used the airport during 2008. More than 75 airlines operate from the airport, travelling to more than 200 destinations.
The airport has two runways and one terminal, although a second terminal is currently under construction. Both domestic and international flights operate from Dublin Airport, with the most popular destination being London. Most of the check-in desks are on the first floor of the terminal, although the check-in desks for Aer Lingus flights to the UK and Germany are on a different level.
You’ll find a number of different services within the airport terminal, including ATMs, Bureau de Change outlets, Internet kiosks, a pharmacy, a business lounge and an E-toll kiosk (from which you can buy a tag enabling you to use the electronic tolling lanes on the M50 motorway in Dublin). After you have checked in and passed through the airport security area, you can also explore the airport’s shopping area, “The Street”, where you’ll find more than 25 shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.
There are many bus and coach operators which serve Dublin Airport, and you’ll find a taxi rank outside of the airport as well. However, there is currently no rail link to the airport. There are also a number of car hire firms with rental offices at the airport, and if you book your hire car online before you travel, you can simply pick it up at the airport when you arrive there.
