Dublin is served by a single terminal airport approximately 10km north of the city, although a second terminal is under construction and due to complete in 2009. Ireland's flag carrier Aer Lingus flies to Dublin from a large number of British and European cities, from the USA, and Dubai. It's fares are much lower than other flag carriers, it regularly features seat sales, while retaining high standards of service. Low service carrier Ryanair flies to Dublin from many regional airports in the UK as well as from some non-central European airports. Due to heavy competition from Aer Lingus, Ryanair can have low fares, although it is much more expensive than Aer Lingus if not booked in advance. A full list of airlines flying to Dublin, along with timetables, can be found on the Dublin airport website. If you are flying long-haul, you might also consider changing in London as the London-Dublin route is particularly well served with regular flights. Irelands third airline, Aer Arann, links Dublin to many regional Irish airports.
There are three types of bus transport back to the city:
A taxi to the city centre should cost around €25-30 - as such it can be comparable/cheaper than the bus options if you are in a group of three or more (as well as a lot less hassle).
A metro system connecting Dublin Airport to the city centre is planned for the future, but no work has started on this yet.
