All Dublin Airport car parking locations offered by AirParkandFly Ltd -   include high security measures such as CCTV, security patrols, and barrier entry and exit systems.

Multi-story Car Parking at Crowne Plaza, Dublin Airport

For travellers seeking covered parking, the Multi-story Car Parking at the 4-star Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport presents a secure and convenient solution. This facility boasts over 300 parking spaces within a covered structure, providing protection from various weather conditions such as rain, sun, and frost. The hotel setting itself might offer an added sense of security for parked vehicles. A significant benefit of choosing this option is the complimentary shuttle service to and from Dublin Airport, operated by Ireland's first fully electric bus. This eco-friendly shuttle runs 24 hours a day, every 30 minutes, ensuring minimal wait times for travellers regardless of their flight schedule. The average journey time to Dublin Airport's Zone 16 in the Coach Park is a mere 7 minutes.
It's important to note that this multi-story car park has a maximum headroom of 2.1 meters, which might be a consideration for drivers of larger vehicles.

Our partnership with the Crowne Plaza 4-star hotel not only enhances the perception of quality and security but also aligns with a growing preference for environmentally conscious travel through the use of an electric shuttle.

Underground Car Parking at Metro and Clayton Hotels Dublin Airport

 AirParkandFly Ltd -   also offers the option of Underground Car Parking at both the Clayton Hotel and the Metro Hotel near Dublin Airport, providing maximum protection for vehicles.

The consistent and round-the-clock shuttle service provided by the Clayton Hotel offers exceptional flexibility for travellers with flights at any hour.

Metro Hotel:
The Metro Hotel provides secure underground car parking and a free shuttle bus service that operates daily from 04:00 to 23:45.12 Upon their return to Dublin Airport, customers simply need to call +353 1 866 9500 for a shuttle pick-up from Zone 16 in the coach park.

The Metro Hotel also distinguishes itself by offering a "cosy lounge" where customers can relax while waiting for their shuttle, adding an extra layer of comfort to the parking experience. The underground parking at both hotels offers superior protection from the elements and potentially enhanced security compared to surface-level options.

Dublin Airport - San Francisco

 Direct flights from Dublin to San Francisco resume with Aer Lingus

Dublin Airport welcomes the announcement from Aer Lingus that it will re-start its direct service from Dublin to San Francisco. From December 12, customers will be able to travel to the West Coast of the US.

Direct flights from Dublin to San Francisco will operate 4 times per week from December 12, 2021 to the January 12, 2022 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Two additional flights will operate a week prior to Christmas and post-Christmas, from December 16 – December 18 and December 30 – January 1 reconnecting family and friends between Ireland the West Coast of the United States ahead of the festive season.

From February 25, Aer Lingus will fly direct to San Francisco 4 times per week.

Re-connecting Ireland with the West Coast for the first time since March 2020, the direct Dublin to San Francisco route is hugely important for businesses in Ireland. San Francisco’s Silicon Valley is home to many of the world’s largest technology companies, with many of these companies having their European headquarters here in Ireland.

Home to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, charming Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz penitentiary, and eclectic mix of architecture and steep hills, San Francisco has long been a popular tourist destination for travellers looking to start their west coast experience.

“San Francisco is the global tech centre of the world and many of the companies based there have offices in Ireland. This direct route will further grow tourism and trade between Ireland and the US and provide greater choice and flexibility for both business and leisure passengers. We will work closely with Aer Lingus to ensure this service is a success in both directions.” said Dublin Airport Managing Director Vincent Harrison.

Aer Lingus Chief Customer Officer, Susanne Carberry said “The re-start of our direct service from Dublin to San Francisco means that we can once again connect families, friends and businesses with the West Coast of the United States. This is an important milestone in the recovery of our business, and will no doubt be very meaningful to those people with connections on the West Coast and businesses with connections in San Francisco itself. 

The recommencing of the Dublin to San Francisco route sees Aer Lingus’ North American schedule increase to a total of 7 destinations, having welcomed back Newark, Orlando, Washington and Toronto Canada over the past weeks.

Almost 4.3 million passengers have travelled through Dublin Airport in the first nine months of this year, representing an 83% decrease when compared to pre COVID levels for the same period in 2019.

All attention now is focused on building our business back better and stronger and expanding our route network. We now have 20 routes back on sale with 6 airlines  so passengers across the South of Ireland have plenty of opportunities to take a well earned break before schools go back in August and September.

Cork Airport - Rekindling The Joy of Flying

 Ready when you are'

daa, the operator of Cork and Dublin Airports, will launch a new television commercial on Sunday July 18 in advance of the return of non-essential international travel from July 19.

The 30 second commercial is of heart-warming scenes which rekindle the joy of travelling by air again while delivering important reassurances to passengers.  

The advertisement features several passengers about to take a flight to enjoy some long overdue and emotional reunions. Whether departing from Dublin or Cork Airports for the first time, or perhaps the first time in a long time, the commercial sets out to reassure passengers that daa staff are prepared and organised with the overarching message that ‘when you’re ready to go, we’re ready to help.’ 

daa Chief Executive Dalton Philips said: “While the past 16 months of severe travel restrictions have been in place to support the fight against COVID-19, the impact on airports, airlines and other businesses involved in international travel and aviation has been devastating. As we approach July 19th, we are looking ahead to rebuilding our business and supporting our industry. This advertising campaign marks this milestone and we hope it will remind people why we are a nation that loves to travel and that Dublin and Cork Airports are ready to welcome our passengers back through our doors when they are.”
