is there anything unique about the dublin airport? seeing as i'll be there tomorrow for several hours, i don't know what i should do. maybe i'll watch movies or something.

there is a fairly good pub on the ground floor.
it closes early though (11pm i think) so don´t arrive too late.

You might not get the traditional Irish pub experience at the airport but I’m sure you’ll be able to get a pint of Guinness if that’s what you are after. If you have enough time you can get to the City Centre using the Airlink bus 747, takes around 35-40 minutes and a return ticket will cost around €10.

Have a good trip
Cheers, Clive

i'll be there from about 8.30 am to 2ish p.m. that seems to be within the boundaries you've set.
obrigado

I hope the pub on the ground floor is still there: yes, first step or last chance to a lovely pint of Guinness (always better in homeland)... And there are shops as well, but let me know if you hear about an airport offering cinema lounge ...
good luck

i want mor sports pubs at airports.
all this waiting in airports would be so much better with a football game while you are having a beer.

Wi-Fi is not free at Dublin airport if you are thinking about that. It is about 17 US cents per minute with some minimum about $5. I was there in October and again 2 weeks ago. It actually is one of my favorite airports. Been there about 6 times total. Be careful about going too far as traffic can get really bad and you could miss your flight.
