Flew out of dublin airport recently - I know, I know we should've flown Cork-London or Cork-Amsterdam and flown on from there but we were with a group and they arranged to fly out of dublin.
Anyways park in one of those satelite carparks with a bus-link to the terminal. We unload heavy gear and approach bus which has been sitting at stop for a few minutes. Driver sees us but just as we approach the bus he drives off.
Get to the airport, go to the Departure Gate, "priority boarding", and go out the gate onto a bus, which doesn't bring us to the plane, but to another set of Departure Gates. Where we have to wait another hour
On return to dublin airport, in an aerlingus plane which was over an hour and a half late, between not-working escalators and lifts, and "express busses every 15 minutes" not turning up on time, it took a full 90 minutes from touch-down to leaving the satalite car-park. Then it's another nearly 3 hours home.
Even the missus has said "NEVER again!" Dublin Airport and dublin in general is sinking under it's own weight, and the greedy dublin-centric tw@ts can't even see it.
