    Hello :)

    I have a flight from Dublin at 11.30am on Saturday morning. I am trying to figure out the best way to get there on time.

    I have the option of getting a bus that arrives at Red Cow (9am) then Westmoreland street (9.30). Are these far away from the airport? OR are they far away from a bus stop that brings you to the airport?

    Would I just be better off getting the train up and the airport express bus from Heuston?

    Thanks for your help :)

    If you get to Westmoreland Street you can get an Aircoach from their to the airport. You'll need to check the times though to make sure you get to the airport on time.

    Have a look at the Aircoach website for starters and see how you go from there.

    This crowd might suit you better as they go directly from the Red Cow to the Airport on the M50.

    747

    It does a little bit of a tour around the centre (I though it just belted straight for the port tunnel and airport), but it's plenty quick all the same.

    If there's a bus available from the Red Cow around the M50, that would be by far your speediest option.

    You can also get the 747 from Heuston direct to the airport. Stops a couple of times in the city center and busaras but fairly quick overall.

    Costs €6 I think.

    Snowflake, it would help if you said where you were starting out from. For all I know, you could be coming from Killarney.

    Boulevardier has a point, maybe there is a bus, private or public, which goes straight to the airport from your location without the need to stop in the city centre.
