Free travel card and Dublin airport

Shinsen · 04-02-2022 08:20PM #1

Hello all,

Could I please ask on which transports the free travel card can be used for the route Dublin city/Dublin airport?

Thank you.

Yes, all operators that I use, allows them. Bus Eireann and Kavanaghs. Though, you have to change at BusAras for Bus Eireann.

Generally, yes. It can be route dependent with some operators. Do check their websites or contact them.

Note that some long distance operators route their services to the airport before the city centre, whereas others do it the other way around.

The OP is either asking a question or giving a heads up. Which is it OP?

Thank you again.

Yep, had to check this for my Mother the other day. As long as you can show your pass that's fine. Again Google is your friend. I think it's listed under the Accessibility heading on the Luas terms and conditions.

You scan your free travel card on the LUAS machines . Then scan it when you get off again . I presume its so they have an idea who is using it and when . Then show it if asked

You can use Dublin bus 16 or 41 and Aircoach 700 to Dublin city centre on travel pass.

You cannot use the Free Travel Card with Dublin Express https://www.dublinexpress.ie/

Dublin Express is a private service and the only service from Heuston Stationto the Airport. Dublin's Buses now permanently ceased Airlink 747 and 757 service was also not available on the Free Travel Pass.

Best option is Luas to Abbey Street and then either the Air Coach 700 or Dublin Bus 16 from Upper O'Connell street or the Dublin Bus 41 from the closer by bus stop.

At the foot of the 'Free Travel Scheme' webpage (link below) , there is a link to an up to date (Jan 2022) list of operators and their services who accept the free travel card.

I say 'and their services' because within a particular operator, it's possible that they accept the FT card on route A but not on route B.
