Travel in Comfort with a Professional Chauffeur Car Service from Dublin Airport
Dublin Airport is preparing for its busiest Christmas season in three years, with an estimated 1.5 million passengers arriving and departing between Friday, December 16, and Wednesday, January 4. If you want to travel in comfort and arrive in style, consider using a professional chauffeur car service for your airport transfers.
According to Dublin Airport spokeswoman Graeme McQueen, “The true magic of Christmas at Dublin Airport will be restored this December, with families from around the world once again able to enjoy Christmas together after two years of disruption due to the Covid pandemic.”
The arrival halls in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are always heartwarming during this time of year, with families reuniting and even marriage proposals taking place. McQueen added, “Over the years, we’ve seen everything from marriage proposals to families being reunited for the first time in decades. We’ll also see many emotional scenes as grandparents, aunts, and uncles meet their grandchildren, nieces, and nephews for the first time.”
Approximately 98,000 passengers are expected to pass through the terminals on Friday, December 23, making it the busiest day before Christmas. The days following Christmas are also expected to be busy as travelers head to destinations for skiing and winter holidays. Monday, January 2, is predicted to be the busiest day of January, with around 94,000 passengers.
Although Dublin Airport will close on Christmas Day, some staff will still be on duty to ensure everything runs smoothly. McQueen also stated, “Dublin Airport will have additional Customer Care staff on duty over the Christmas season to make sure passengers have an efficient journey through the airport.”
