Advice Galway to Dublin on Flight Day to US - Timing Advice?

I’ll be in Galway in May 2025 with a 15:00 flight departure from Dublin to Minneapolis on a Friday. I’m trying to figure out the best way to get from Galway to Dublin on the day of my flight. Should I take an early morning train or bus, or is it better to stay in Dublin the night before? Also, considering traffic and potential delays, how early should I aim to arrive at Dublin Airport? Any tips or experiences with this route would be super helpful.

Hey there! For a 15:00 flight, I’d recommend staying in Dublin the night before to avoid the stress of same-day travel. If you prefer to travel on the day, aim for an early morning train or bus (around 6:00-7:00 AM) to give yourself plenty of buffer. Dublin Airport can get busy, so arriving 3 hours early is a safe bet. Have you considered the bus options like CityLink or GoBus? They’re reliable and drop you close to the airport. Safe travels!
