Layover guides from Dublin

Long-haul out of Ireland almost always means a transit hub. Plans for Dublin โ†’ Asia/Australia/USA via LHR, AMS, DXB, DOH.

Why a separate Ireland section?

Most travel content online is written from a US perspective โ€” Atlantic distances, dollars, ESTA assumptions, US carriers. Irish travellers fly different corridors (DUB โ†’ LHR is one of the busiest in Europe), pay in euro, hold a different passport, and rarely have direct flights to Asia or Oceania. These guides assume Dublin as the start point, euro pricing, Irish passport rules and Aer Lingus + Ryanair as primary carriers.
