    What's the best way to commute from Dublin city centre to Dublin Airport?

    I wouldn't like to book because I don't know if I'll be a the stop 1 hour before or 2 hours before.

    Can I buy the tickets on the bus stop?

    If you get the 747 to the airport you can buy the tickets on the bus.

    If it's a daily commute, you might consider the slower, but cheaper buses that serve the airport too.

    If you are DAA / Airport staff you can get a much reduced rate on AIrcoach.

    I get the 16 to/from Rathfarnham via the city centre. I make sure I've got credit on a Leap Card or at least one trip left on a ten-journey ticket when coming in to Dublin. Much cheaper than the Aircoach (and gets me closer to my final destination).

    Going at an unsociable hour I've often gotten a taxi at the same rate as the aircoach - if they are going out to the airport anyway they try the aircoach stops in the city to see if they can get any trade on the way out there. You might have to share with 2 or 3 other people but its fast. This is only if they pull over and offer though - if you hail a taxi I imagine you would have to pay the full fare.

    You can also get a Dublin Bus 5 day/30 day rambler ticket loaded onto your LEAP card and that will include travel on the Airlink 747 as well as the normal buses.

    Price is €27.50 for the 5 day ticket and €137.50 for the 30 day ticket - note that the days are non-consecutive, in other words they don't have to be one day after the other.

    Options are:

    16 from O'Connell Street (or other stops en route)
    41 from Lower Abbey Street (although this may change shortly)
    747 from O'Connell Street (or other stops en route)
    Aircoach

    What about buses at 3am on an night from Thursday to Friday? What's cheaper or recommended?
