It is located around 6 miles from the city centre with regular bus and coach services connecting the two. The airport is close to the M1 motorway north of the city, and accessible via the junction with the N1 road. There is a dedicated “set down” area just outside the terminal building, along with a short stay car park for longer goodbyes. The 3 Long Stay car parks at Dublin Airport are all connected by bus with the departure area, and these are colour coded in red, green and blue for ease of use. The car parks offer space for more than 14,000 cars, but you should still book in advance of busy periods to guarantee availability. Dublin Airport car parks offer an extra special service by which you can have your car professionally valeted while you are away on holiday, and return to find it sparkling. Whether your flight from Dublin is international, domestic, charter or scheduled, you will depart from the main terminal building, although there are three separate piers that each handle the departures of different airlines. The main airline at the airport is Aer Lingus, but other major scheduled airlines include British Airways and BMI along with many others. There is a live service detailing flight information online available on Dublin Airport’s official website at www.dublin-airport.com.
