Airport Transfers in Wexford

Up the east coast

Leaving Wexford, the N11 is single carriageway as far as Oilgate, then dual carriageway and motorway to the north. The M11 bypasses Enniscorthy, Gorey and Arklow, climbs through the Glen of the Downs, skirts Bray and joins the M50 where Dublin begins. There are no tolls on the M11. From there the coach has two ways to the airport: clockwise round the western M50, which includes the cashless toll near Lucan, or in across the city to the Port Tunnel, where a coach seating more than 25 travels without a toll. The driver chooses on the day, depending on traffic.

Why Dublin, and what else is nearby

Dublin Airport handles nearly all of Wexford’s air travel. Cork is much further, and Waterford Airport has been without scheduled passenger flights since the mid-2010s; a runway extension is being built and the airport hopes to restart services in 2027. What Wexford does have is Rosslare Europort, about 20 km south, with ferries to Wales and France. Some groups fly into Dublin and leave by sea from Rosslare, or the reverse; book each leg as its own transfer with the flight number and the sailing, so both ends are timed. Hotels at Rosslare Strand sit between the town and the port.

Comfort stops and early starts

Two hours on the road is within a driver’s limits without a break, as EU rules only demand a 45-minute break once a driver has been at the wheel for 4.5 hours. Groups often want a stop anyway, and Gorey Service Area, roughly halfway, is the usual choice. An early flight can mean a pickup in the small hours, so school and club groups need a firm meeting point and a roll call before the coach moves. In the town, the streets behind the Quay are tight for a full-size coach. Meeting at a hotel, or at a spot near O’Hanrahan Station or the Quay that the driver agrees, keeps the start predictable.

Opera season and other arrivals

Wexford Festival Opera fills the National Opera House on High Street every October; in 2026 it runs from 15 to 31 October. Festival visitors from abroad usually fly into Dublin and stay on the Quay, in the town centre or at Ferrycarrig. At Dublin, hired coaches can only collect in Zone 16, a short walk from either terminal, and may not wait kerbside. Send the flight numbers so the driver follows the actual landing. For the trip home, the coach unloads at the Terminal 2 departures kerb, on the road the airport calls T2 Departures Road Inner; it may not use Terminal 1’s departures road, so passengers checking in there cross on foot.

What time should a Wexford group set off for an early flight?

Count about two hours of driving in clear traffic, then add the airline’s bag-drop deadline, the walk from the Terminal 2 kerb and a margin if the run meets the M50 at rush hour. Send the flight details and the operator will propose a pickup time and place.

Could the group take the train to the airport instead?

Trains from Wexford run to Dublin Connolly in the city centre, only a handful a day, and the line does not reach the airport. A group would need a second transfer from Connolly. A coach from the door suits groups with luggage or a flight that does not match the timetable.

Which vehicle suits a group with a lot of luggage?

For two hours with full holiday luggage, choose a vehicle with underfloor bays: a full-size coach for a large group, or a midi coach for around 29 to 35 people. Minibuses have only a rear compartment. Give the operator the count of cases and large items with the passenger numbers.
