Terminal Information – Departing

Bournemouth Airport is small and only has one terminal. The departure lounge is no-frills, with a small but functional range of shops and places to eat. Browse premium cosmetics, alcohol and gifts in World Duty Free or grab a magazine for the flight in WHSmith. If you're on the red-eye flight you'll appreciate a pick-me-up from Estpresso. If it's dinner time you can sit down for a meal or a glass of wine at the Olive Tree Cafe Bar. Joes, before security, is a great place to grab a quick sandwich before you go through to the departure lounge. Every passenger can enjoy one hour of free Wi-Fi in the terminal; ideal if you need to send a few last-minute emails or just want to catch up on social media.

Terminal Information – Arriving

Flybe flights land at Dublin Airport's Terminal 1. There's a taxi rank immediately outside, and bus stops are a short walk away near Terminal 2. The Aircoach 700 offers the quickest transfer to the city centre. It costs €9* (about £6.50) for a single ticket and €15* (about £11) for a return. A cheaper option is Dublin Bus 747 which charges €6 (about £4.35) for a single and €10 (about £7.25) for a return. It's not as fast as the Aircoach, but if you're not in a hurry it's a good way to save some money. If you're planning a self-drive holiday you'll find the car hire desks in the arrivals hall. Remember to compare car hire at Dublin Airport with Skyscanner.

Practical Information

You don't need a passport to fly from Bournemouth to Dublin. The UK and Ireland are both members of the Common Travel Area. Flybe does ask that you bring photographic ID with your nationality written on it: your driving license is a good example of this. Note that Ryanair only accept passports, so if you have a connecting flight with the famous low-cost carrier you will need to bring it along.

What to expect in Dublin

Dublin is in the same time zone as Bournemouth and the currency is the Euro (€). The temperature in Dublin is similar to what you would experience in Bournemouth, and the prices are pretty similar too. Things might seem more expensive as the prices are written in Euro. Irish weather can be unpredictable, so if you're visiting during the summer it's a good idea to pack some jumpers and an umbrella just in case.
