Although the coach was full and therefore there wasn't much space to move, the the journey (July 24th 11.10-13.00) was comfortable and fast, and the driver was very competent and pleasant.

It was very dissapointing. When I was going to get into the bus to Dublin airport, they didnt let us in and the bus left without any explanation. Ater a while I was told that they were fixing something and the bus would come back, but at it didn't. I had to buy another ticket with a different company to go to the airport, otherwise I would have missed my flight.

Loved it. It was my first time travelling with Dublin Express. The driver was so friendly and would update us with every stop. All l can say is the service was Above and Beyond ❤️

I’m very unhappy with my AirCoach experience. On my ticket and booking confirmation it clearly stated that the bus stop was located on ‘Upper Queens Street’. After waiting over 40 minutes, it took a police officer to kindly tell us that the bus stop was no longer in use and it had been relocated to Grand Central Station. Myself and 2 other passengers missed their flights due to this mistake. Very big error that should be fixed immediately.
