Train to Plane
Irish Rail’s Sligo and Maynooth services can now connect to Dublin Airport with Aircoach’s 700 & 700X services from Drumcondra Station. Rosslare services can connect to Dublin Airport with the Aircoach 702 service from Pearse Station.
You can purchase an Aircoach transfer to the airport through the Irish Rail website at www.irishrail.ie. When booking your rail ticket online travelling to Drumcondra or Pearse Station, simply select your Aircoach ticket in extras. The add on can only be purchased 24 hours or more in advance of your train departure time. If you have any issues, you can also purchase your coach ticket directly from Aircoach (aircoach.ie) for any of our stops including those at Pearse and Drumcondra. Alternatively, you can purchase a ticket from your driver.
Drumcondra – board our 700 or 700X service from directly outside the station.
Pearse – board our 702 service across the road from the station doors.
You can purchase adult, child and young adult (YAC) single and return tickets as extras when booking on Irish Rail.

We cannot offer refunds on tickets purchased on the Irish Rail website. Please contact the Irish Rail customer service team.

To restore it, ensure you have a stable connection and refresh the app by tapping the Options button (iPhone) or Menu button (Android). Your ticket should reappear after a few seconds.
When you booked your ticket, you should have received a copy via email. You can simply print it out and use that as your ticket.
