Although Dublin Airport and Cork Airport rank ahead in terms of passenger traffic, Shannon Airport is the most centrally located of the three and, therefore, it allows for greater access to the interior and western counties.
Why is Dublin so expensive for tourists?
The cost of staying in a hotel in Dublin is much higher compared to other cities in Ireland. This is due to high demand, especially during the peak tourist season. Mid-range hotels can cost around 150 euros per night, while luxury accommodations can go well beyond 300 euros.
How much time do you need before flying from Dublin?
We advise passengers to arrive at their terminal 2 hours before departure time for short-haul flights, and 3 hours before long-haul flights. If you are checking bags or travelling in a group you should allow more time. Always consult your airline for check-in in desk and bag drop opening hours.
