Cheap Bus from Limerick to Dublin Airport

Take Your Pants Off

The only cheapest option I could find was for 70E from aireagle, but then we realised that the 2 child's would not qualify for me as I am above the age of 14, so we have to get seperate tickets.
Worked out at 110E return for 4 people.
Anyone have any cheaper options ?

Dublin Coach nearly always by far the cheapest. Kavanaghs are another option, but not a great customer experience.

How many are you looking to book on the bus? Two kids can travel with each adult ticket purchased, so that's basically €60 return for two adults and four kids.

Edit: Just realised you said four. And if I am reading you right, you are about 17, and believed that a child's ticket would do it for you. Nice try :pac:
If you are 17, then you are way too young to remember what it was like to get to Dublin before, even 15 years ago, an absolute f#cking nightmare compared to the comfort you have with Dublin Coach now, and the price has dropped way down. If you can get four people to Dublin Airport from Limerick and back for €90, let me tell you son, you are doing very, very well, particularly when you do not have to do the driving. I would have killed for that when I was younger. Killed.

How many adults and how many children and their ages will be travelling?

Irish Rail
Tickets From Limerick (Colbert) to Dublin Heuston
Ticket Price
Adult Single €53.05
Adult Day Return €61.80
Adult Open Return €69.35
Student Single €18.50
Student Return €23.00
16-25 Railcard Single €30.00
16-25 Railcard Return €43.20
Family Day Return €82.50
Family Open Return €132.00

Bus Eireann have a family ticket for €48/€45.60



But for 3 adults and one child it would cost €72 for a family ticket plus one adult or €69 if you have a student card.

On Dublin Coach tickets are €10/€20 single/return and 2 children under 12 can travel free with a fare paying adult. so total return cost would be €80 or €40 one way.

Foggy lad, it's an extra fiver from Red cow to airport, so 15 ew from Limerick to airport.

No flight from Shannon to dublin, flight from Kerry to dublin is 40 big ones.

Oops I was calculating from Limerick to City Centre.

Train is far too expensive consideering you have to add a taxi or 747 bus to the airport from Heuston!

Bus Eireann is the cheapest but get the bus to the city centre and then get the 41 or 16 to the airport. otherwise the airport direct service will cost quite a bit more.



The lower fares are for those booked online.
