Departures from Dublin Airport

Dublin Airport departures: how to read the board

The departures board above lists the flights leaving Dublin today, with the scheduled departure time, the estimated or actual time, the destination and the status. It updates continuously; an estimated time later than the schedule means a delay, and departed means the aircraft has left the gate.

Check your terminal first: Ryanair and most European airlines depart from Terminal 1, Aer Lingus and the transatlantic carriers from Terminal 2. Flights to the United States go through US preclearance in Terminal 2, which adds time: the airlines ask passengers to be at the airport three hours ahead. Security queues are longest in the early-morning wave, when Ryanair and Aer Lingus launch dozens of flights within an hour. Arrive well ahead of the time on the board.

Dropping off and getting there

Set-down zones are in front of both terminals; follow the signs for T1 or T2 Departures, and do not leave the vehicle unattended. To see someone off inside, use the Short Term car parks. The Dublin Express and Aircoach run from the city center and beyond, TFI city buses run around the clock, and taxis queue outside both terminals. Dublin has no rail link; the airport is on the M1 and M50 north of the city.

The board is dominated by Ryanair and Aer Lingus flights to Britain and across Europe, including London Heathrow, Manchester and Amsterdam, transatlantic departures with Aer Lingus, United Airlines, Delta and American Airlines to New York JFK, Boston and Chicago, and holiday flights with TUI Airways and Jet2.com.
