The staff here was very friendly no matter where I was. The place was very clean and I didn't see any trash lying around anywhere as I was walking through the airport. The layout is very easy to navigate and there are more than enough signs that are showing all the arrivals and departures and exactly where to go so you wont miss your flight. I really enjoyed that there was a handful of giftshops so I could grab a couple last minute things for friends and family back home. I also really liked how clean the bathrooms were at this airport!

Typically free liquor samples - although don't go crazy if you have a long flight! Decent food options. Free and decent wi-fi. What's not to like. More importantly, having now once gotten stuck overseas due to customs being closed in the US, knowing you'll complete customs here on the front end is a huge plus. Factor that in to your travel plans (don't worry, TSA pre-check and Global Entry are in full swing). I loved being able to just 'walk out' after arriving back in the states from Dublin.

We flew on the A330-300, which is the biggest plane in the Aer Lingus fleet. The flight attendants were friendly. The food was also decent. San Francisco to Dublin- I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the food. The lie-flat seats are on the narrow side though. What I was most happy about is that there was a Revival Lounge available (Business Class customers) that we could use after picking up our luggage. A shower was what I needed to help me get through the rest of the day, since we still had a layover and another flight to catch.

Our experience with Aer Lingus from Dublin to Chicago was great…read more Check-in/baggage check was a breeze with minimal wait, friendly service and helpful guidance for our trip and baggage claim upon landing at our final destination, which was Nashville via connection at ORD. They have self service kiosks that allow you to check-in, however we were unable to utilize as we did not have boarding passes yet due to the variety of booking through Amex. We did luggage drop and boarding pass printing at the counter. There was no hassle and it was efficient. Once checked in and bags dropped, we hit the gate and the agents there were helpful in keeping everyone updated. The plane arrived and we boarded on time and with ease. I appreciate the boarding process of back to front, I wish more US airlines would adopt this! It makes the stress of using the overhead bins so much more tolerable. The plane was a wide body in 2-4-2 layout, which is the best variety of aircraft for a lovely 7.5 hour flight. The plane was clean and in good condition, with the exception of one of the toilets being out of order in the back. This created a bit of a line at times. The meal service on the plane was better than expected with a full meal including a main pasta or chicken dish, side salad, bread, dessert and water. This was followed by a baked chicken roll/hot pocket and then ice cream later in the flight. All of this was in between coffee and drink services. The flight attendants were friendly, helpful and efficient. No baggage issues from start to finish. Even after a 7.5 hour flight and a 7 hour layover, our bags made it to our final destination without issue. Overall, experience on Aer Lingus was great. When heading back to Dublin/Ireland in the future, we are excited to utilize Aer Lingus.

My wife and myself, along with another couple we were traveling with, rented a car from Sixt on May…read more18 for our vacation trip around Ireland. When I picked up the rental car at the International Terminal 2 in Dublin, I told the female agent that I was planning to return the vehicle with a full tank of petrol as I always do. She proceeded to tell me that it would be far better to just return it without filling it up as Sixt would only charge the same price per liter as the petrol stations. She thus convinced me to just bring the car back and be charged for Sixt filling up the tank. To my unpleasant surprise, when I returned the rental vehicle on May 30, with a 3/4 full tank I was shocked to see the 81 Euro charge for a full tank of petrol. I went to the rental counter to review this issue but they advised me to contact customer service. I thus contacted Sixt Customer Care as directed but only got a rude response from a "Annie" that no billing concerns are addressed by Sixt. In my view the agent at the Dublin airport was very deceptive and basically did a "bait and switch" on me, which I find very unethical. I had my wife and two friends also with me and they agreed completely that this was not what we were told. I thus see this as akin to being robbed for 60 Euro. I have also now seen other reviews of Sixt, along with Google search results, that indicate that there are very often these kinds of unresolved issues that are customers have faced. In addition to tricking me into buying this "prepaid gas" there were also several other issues with the vehicle (Renault): - The remote for the car was out of battery when we picked it up. We had to drive to the Sixt return to get it replaced. - After only 20 minutes of driving a warning indicator signaled that the tire pressure was low; we went to a petrol station to fill air. - Later during the trip the windshield wipers stopped working so we took it to a service station were the technician jiggled the cables and got it to work again. - At one point the car wouldn't accelerate and seemed to be only on electrical power (hybrid engine), so we had to restart it. Thus, this rental experience was not a good or pleasant one and I cannot recommend renting from Sixt. I am sure Sixt representatives would state that I should have read the rental contract details more carefully to find the bait-and-switch there, but I did not expect to be dealing with unethical and deceptive Sixt staff at the airport.

Same review as everyone else here. This was a bait and switch…read more I rented the car online, when I arrived I was given a different car (apparently more valuable) and then required to purchase insurance. The insurance price was far more on this more valuable vehicle and I had no choice but to upgrade. Additionally, I was sold a more expensive insurance package despite specifically requesting the lower tier coverage. Significant upcharge. I ended up spending 3-4x as much as I had originally agreed upon online. They take advantage of tired travelers in a crowded airport just trying to get out of there. The whole experience was a scam and a hassle. Absolutely never using sixt again.

Things were going great right up until you step up to the counter. Perhaps I was extra sensitive having just gotten off a plane (you know how air travel can get), but I would think any customer facing service staff would be well trained enough to accommodate this. Unfortunately I was met with a bland super passive-aggressive lady at the desk that was snarky about when I would return the rental car since there's different places you have to go to return depending on what time. Unfortunately this doesn't exactly accommodate for the flexibility for if you happen to get back earlier versus later, which when you're trying to catch a flight is probably the last thing you want to have to worry about. Overall though the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, it was just the check in counter that wasn't the best. The car I got was clean and the prices were very reasonable, so overall it was a good value.

I waited a few weeks after my return to write this review as I had, an honestly still have, a…read morepending inquiry about a random charge I received a week after my return. Even with that, I reluctantly gave the second star as my experience from pick up to drop off was without issue! This location is situated away from the airport and requires a shuttle to and from. Shuttle is easy to pick up at both areas and is constantly running. The line inside fills up quickly as every bus load has around 20 folks, all who are after a car, majority automatic cars. If that is the case, be prepared to wait on those busy weekend days, even if you reserved. We reserved an automatic and initially was told they were waiting, however got lucky as someone returned one as we were getting to the counter. Our reservation saved us, so I highly recommend reserving a car. Service at the counter was fine. They were not friendly, nor un-friendly. It was as efficient as it could be and ended with keys in hand. The car was solid. A Skoda model that got great gas mileage and had plenty of interior space. It was nice, even though odd, to be directed to return with the gas tank empty. Due to our limited amount of driving, I returned with half a tank, and weirdly suspect that has something to do with the additional charges. As for the return, all seemed fine. Pulled in, parked, got it looked at, printed receipt in hand and then hopped on the awaiting shuttle. None the wiser to the pending $250 that was coming my way without explanation mere days later. I have since reached out to Hertz twice, but have gotten no response at all. I am now disputing with my AMEX as an unauthorized charge seeing that I have gotten no response or detail as to the reason for the charge. These are always the same horror stories. Completely ruins the overall experience, which for the most part, was wildly successful and positive. Overall, I won't recommend to not rent from Hertz at all, but be mindful and cautious.

We contacted Expedia who told us that Hertz might cancel our reservation, so we asked them to put a note on our reservation that we'd be arriving a day late. 3. We tried calling Hertz Ireland twice at high cost long distance rates. In both cases the calls dropped after 15 minutes on hold. 4. I also sent an email letting Hertz Ireland know that we'd be a day late and to please not cancel the reservation. 5. Upon arrival we were told that we'd receive the rental for the original booking amount. 6. At this time, jet lagged, I did not cop on that it was actually approximately THREE TIMES higher than our original reservation. Predatory company.

Superb and affordable way to go from Dublin airport to the city or suburbs…read more We took the 703 air coach to Dun Laoghaire, where we had booked a B&B. We got to the airport bus terminal 7 mins before it was scheduled to leave, but the ticketing and boarding was so seamless we were seated with 2 minutes to spare! Round trip cost was 17€ per adult and 9€ per kid, whereas a taxi would have cost us over 100€ each way. The seats were comfortable and while the bathroom was not operational, we were fortunately not in dire need of relieving ourselves! The driver was gracious and let us know where to disembark. The hour- long journey to Dun Laoghaire flew by, and the return trip a few days later was equally rewarding and comfortable. Air coach is the way to go!

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a serious incident that occurred today with one…read moreof your drivers. My group had three valid paid tickets for a specific scheduled service, as stated on the ticket terms (valid only for the booked time). We boarded the bus, sat down, and were fully settled when the driver abruptly instructed all three of us to get off the vehicle. At no point did he ask whether we were able to take the next bus. He simply told us to leave. He explained that a pregnant woman--who did not have a ticket--should have priority. While we fully respect and understand support for pregnant passengers, removing paying passengers with valid reservations to make space for someone without a ticket is unacceptable and directly contradicts Aircoach policy. After we were removed, the driver then stated that we could "try the next bus", despite our tickets clearly indicating that they are valid only for the booked time, and even noted that the next service might be full as well. This left us effectively stranded. As a result, we had no option but to take a taxi to the airport. We paid in cash, so we do not have a receipt, but this was an expense we should never have had to incur. This incident caused financial loss, unnecessary stress, and represented a serious failure in customer service and adherence to Aircoach procedure. Passengers with valid tickets should never be removed to accommodate someone without a ticket. I am requesting: 1. A full refund for all three Aircoach tickets 2. Confirmation that this incident will be formally investigated, as the driver's behaviour was improper, unprofessional, and against Aircoach policy 3. Guidance on how to proceed in cases where passengers are removed despite holding valid reservations I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. Kind regards,
