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.
