Airliners.net Southern Irish members implying that Dublin airport is only a 90 minute drive for most of us and that it would be relatively painless flying via there.
They forget that you have to be at Dublin airport 3 hours earlier so that means you have to leave home at least 6 hours before the flight.
The last time I flew from Dublin, I had to rise around 2am for a 10am flight. Being 170+ miles away for many of us, Dublin airport is rarely a feasible option for those of us who live further into Northern Ireland.
I paid an extra £100 per person to fly from Belfast to EWR in June to avoid going via Dublin this year and that is a choice that I personally do not regret. It was well worth it to avoid getting up at the crack of dawn and trapsing down there.
