    Hi all,

    Heading to Manchester tomorrow so I've to get from Dublin City to the Airport. Was looking at the 16a from Westmoreland Street. Any other recommendations much appreciated!

    Cheers.

    Through the port tunnel out at the airport - job done.

    Aircoach all the way for me. Round trip is like 12quid (I think) and it's way more comfortable than the 747. Stick your bag underneath and have a seat.
    IMO it's way quicker than the 747 too (maybe it's in my mind)

    Have to agree with Aircoach. €12 return and it drops you off/picks you up right outside arrivals, runs 24 hours a day

    16a is cheaper but it takes longer and is less frequent and less reliable than the aircoach/747.

    747 for me. Cheaper than the aircoach and you can watch/see your luggage.

    Cheers for all the replies lads! Where does the 747 leave from? Busaras? Seeing as its more frequent I reckon its a better option than the 16a!

    Definitely Aircoach. Quicker, punctual and comfortable.

    Yeah it leaves from Busaras. I think it picks up on O'Connell Street too.

    Although sometimes you get the quicker one that goes out through the port tunnel. That one's great.

    747 leaves from Busaras and picks up outside the Dublin Bus offices on O'Connell St.. At rush hour times it goes through the tunnel.

    If you have the money aircoach.

    If you dont... Any of the 41's from memory work out cheaper.
