    Walk across to the North Quays for between 2 and 2:15 and get a 747 from outside Jury's Inn.

    yep, that's the fastest option.

    Other option would be to get the Aircoach from the Schoolhouse - don't think the route is as direct

    Well it's certainly less frequent.

    The Aircoach Greystones service has a very ambitious timetable - it often runs pretty late.

    Would have thought Google Maps public transport routing would have been good for trips from their own office of all places :pac::D

    Fastest really ?
    A taxi would be the fastest way of getting to the airport at 3.
    Theres a rank outside Googles door

    If money isn't an issue, then Taxi through the port tunnel.

    Note that you will be expected to pay the €12 toll for using the port tunnel on top of the taxi fare.

    Not if he goes through before 4 though, no?

    €12? Thought it was €3 and €10.

    The above post is completely misleading and incorrect.

    747 from across the river (15 min walk). About 5 mins wait then €6 on Leap, sorted. Pity the Aircoach is only once an hour.

    It's also unreliable.

    Port tunnel South going North is 3 euro, It is 10 euro between the hours of 4pm and 7pm

    Not mentioned here but some Taxis may charge you 2 tolls (as they have to come back to their normal rank)

    I don't think that's true? What a taxi driver does after he drops you off is his own business.

    I'm probably confusing it with tow trucks. They charge mileage (plus tolls) round trip from base->pickup spot->base when billing.

    Could you be so kind as to clarify what exactly you mean by the above?
