    Does anyone know what the Aircoach to Belfast is like? Is it as comfortable as the coaches they use from the city centre to the airport or is it more cramped and not as comfortable?

    They're using the 04 Setra's on the Belfast route, which are the coaches that were used on the main routes to the City centre until just before Christmas. The new ones on the airport to city centre now have wifi, but it's not advertised yet.

    They're very nice and comfortable, bear in mind they go from the Airport and not the city centre however. Bus Eireann/Ulsterbus go from the city centre so depending on your location they might be better. Aircoach is more comfortable though for sure. nice and smooth and the journey flies by as the temperature in the coach is always just about right.

    I think you can buy a through ticket on one of the city Aircoach services e.g. embark at Sandyford and change at the airport.

    Yeah, seems so:
    We offer a Free transfer for all customers travelling from Belfast to any point on our Dublin City Centre services.

    Last time I was on there it took 2 hours exactly from Dublin. Reason being is we missed out Hillsborough and Banbridge on the way to Belfast as nobody wanted to get off there so the driver skipped them out. Due to the current bus licensing restrictions Aircoach can only carry passengers from one country to another, so you cannot get on in Newry, get off in Belfast, Get on in Drogheda and off in Dublin, vice versa.

    You could pay in Sterling as well if you wanted to be ultra cheeky :)
