    as the title says
    Planning to be at the airport by 9:45 next Thursday parked close to T2
    Anybody do it recently
    Heard Dublin Traffic is back to Celtic tiger levels
    Used the air coach recently for an afternoon flight and it was there in 3hrs
    just weighing the options

    Time from Jack Lynch Tunnel please thinking 3hrs 30 (6:15am from tunnel) is loads but I know we will meet traffic

    I drive it every Monday (I work at the airport) - Leave Douglas 06:00 I'm at the airport for 9:00am every week unless there's an accident ! - if traffic at the Naas Rd/M50 junction is very bad you can also cut off at the R120 (aerodrome business park) or R136 (kingswood business park) which both take you onto the Lucan Road.

    I'd go slighly earlier TBH ( 30/20 mins) just to give yourself some leeway - gotta remember you are comming into Dublin at peak morning traffic time 7.30/8am ... you'll fly it up to Portloaise and from then it can get unpredicable pending on weather, accidents etc.

    Oh we got the aircoach a few weeks ago now instead of driving and i must say i think tis worth it. Drops you straight at the door, no hassle of parking etc and all that goes.. Went at something like 2 or 3 in the morning and made it in perfect time

    Thanks for the help and replies
    A later flight by even an hour and the bus would win
    Think the bus is great just don't want to have to get up before 5:30 for a 6am bus

    Plan b of driving up wed night after 9pm to swords and sleeping at sisters looks to be the winner
    Just need to tell the babysitter

    Thanks again
