Dublin Airport's car parking warning to passengers ahead of busy weekend

Dublin Airport has issued a warning to passengers that are flying over the coming days.

People driving to the airport have been warned to plan ahead as demand for parking is high. Passengers have been advised to pre-book or consider alternative transport options due to a limited number of car park spaces.

A spokesperson for the airport said on Twitter: "Demand for parking at Dublin Airport is high for the coming days, so you may not find availability online for your chosen car park/duration. While a limited number of spaces are held for drive-ups, we cannot guarantee a space will be available for those not pre-booked.

"If you haven't already pre-booked a space, please consider the alternate transport options available."

A number of social media users criticised the airport for the lack of enough parking spaces to which the spokesperson said: "We are exhausting all avenues to increase and maximise the number of car parking spaces available at Dublin Airport to ensure every passenger who needs to park this summer can do so."

Others pointed out the fact that there was a scarcity of good public transport options including the absence of a train or Luas service to the airport. Dublin Express, Aircoach, Dublin Bus, and Go-Ahead Ireland have routes going to the airport but passengers with late-night or early-morning flights are forced to avail of a tax.
