Hi Dave - really enjoyed your videos of Dublin - did you enjoy our capital city (excluding the rip off prices) ? I am glad you highlighted the issues in getting back to the airport - a capital city, our minister is from the Green Party and we have no train system from anywhere in Dublin to get to the ” International Airport “ a joke - safe travels back to Lanzarote and maybe I might get to see you in person next week ! ☘️👍

Uber in Ireland is a regular Taxi company Uber drivers are regulated and when you order a ride you have a 'metred ride'. like an ordinary taxi….

Yes so confusing getting back getting there was so good

[@danganbeg7225]

I flew BA once, from France. Plane was tired and dirty, crew were surly.

[@Ray-pk9tu]

Another little tip is to go into terminal 2 and through security there and just walk along up to ur gate then in terminal one. Always much quieter in T2 and very fast through security.

[@MrTravelONWorld]

Thanks for the info

[@corkion]

We have relatives in Swindon when there over they take back loads of tayto

[@clydebear6914]

Terminal 1 is the original terminal so it's a bit shabbier than T2. T2 is much bigger, airier and modern and handles all Aer Lingus flights and some long haul carriers. Everyone else (including Ryanair) are T1. Important to know too that Ryanair departure gates are aways at the very end of hallway so it's a decent 10-15 walk after security to your gate. There's also an air-side bar which has an open patio area for smokers. ;)

[@auldscouse]

Agree about the Aircoach service. It's very good for getting you into the city, but my advice would be to book the journey back to the airport using on their app, as if there are any big sporting events on in the UK, the coaches are often booked out, and waiting 30 mins for another one, can put you under pressure. There are plans agreed to build a rail route into the city, but I probably won't be around to see it. Great honest vid. Keep them coming. ☘️

A Whopper meal ( whopper ,fries +drink ) is 10 Euro 40 cent in Dublin City center ,so cheaper than at the Airport as you would expect .

[@MrTravelONWorld]

Ah that's good to know

[@MRPAD744]

different airlines in each terminal .you can get the air coach from Westmoreland street to the airport which is just before the other side of oconnell bridge that you got off when coming from the airport.

[@MrTravelONWorld]

Perhaps you can catch the bus back from the bus station to the airport. Bit late now 😊

[@richardbutler4488]

You can go through security in either terminal and walk between both of them airside without any issues, it can save a lot of time at certain times of the day when there is a lot of a particular flight type but not much of the other, they will be loads of evening mostly Ryanair flights from T1 in the evening but little to no longer haul flights from T2. Mid mornings are very busy from T2 with Mostly USA flights and T1 at this time is s lot quieter. It’s a good insiders tip 😊 The Dublin Airport app is also very useful for finding out your likely gate hours in advance which is very useful so you can beat the scrum and those misleading screens. The screens are interesting too, as say if your in a particular area close to the flight gate it might say gate displays at E.g. 17:00 but if your in the wrong area it will tell you the gate number so you can get closer to it

[@MrTravelONWorld]

The crew allow you usually to change seats once taken off and airborne. With escalating turbelance, it’s advisable to keep your seat belt on for the duration of the flight. Enjoyed your vlog.

[@MrTravelONWorld]

Good to know!

[@stephenconnolly2582]

Enjoyed the video im from dublin and a tip to get back to airport with aircoach is take the luas red line to the point (last stop on red line) there is aircoach stop there with multiple buses headed to airport via port tunnel, dublin duty free is the same as london or glasgow will pay far extra for a magnet than the high street and as someone who knows far too much into ryanair trust me thats not petty splitting you up thats done at the beey beginning of booking without you paying for the seat selection so until you pay those random seats will be staying 😂😂

Remember you are in a very expensive country! GDP per capita: Ireland $103K, UK $46K and Spain $29K. Now people can argue all they want about how GDP is calculated, but from a tourist point of view, if you are going to a country that is double or triple the country you are coming from it is going to be expensive. That is just a fact of economics.

[@MrTravelONWorld]

True

[@patriciaobrien7481]

Terminal 2 … Much better so much more efficient and relaxing. We found better to pay extra . Go scheduled flight’s.

You were within walking distance on O'Connell bridge of two Aircoach stops, closest one was going back towards temple bar on that main road, blue stop! The website is shite and not really updated but gives you enough basic info with basic map of your nearest stop, (Westmoreland - near Templebar) I'd not fly Ryanair btw..given that they use Boeing planes and the new ones which some are in the news lately

Dude I think you are well out of order. YOU called Ryan Air Petty for NOT letting you Choose your seats Despite YOU being petty and Not Paying the fee to book those seats? These fees are WELL publicised and YOU knew about them.. Kinda like you blaming KFC for not Giving you a Bucket of Wings because you didnt give them your money.. The reason you shouldn't change your allocated seat is because if you plummeted to the ground and are strapped in they can identify you from the flight manifest. Simple really. BUT too much for a Tight fisted Brummie perhaps. Ryan Air are a business and need to make money. You get to fly dirt cheap and they do Not Hide the extra charges so don't blame them if you are too tight to pay that bit extra you knew how it works and took your chances..
