Just the idea of packing up the family and getting to the airport on time can seem daunting, which is why we mums are always glad of a little extra help. The Dublin Airport App provides timely and relevant information to get your holiday off to a stress-free start.
Here at MummyPages HQ, we are often asked to review mobile apps, so we can test their ease of use and relevance to mums and their families.
The Dublin Airport App is available on iPhone and iPad. It is very well laid out and easy to navigate, with different features represented by different colours to ensure that even if you’re in a frantic sprint to catch your flight, you will be able to find the information you need.
Features include:
Live flight information
Arrivals and departures are updated every three minutes directly from Dublin Airport systems. This enables you to search the current status for all flights or for a specific flight by destination or by flight number which is great for both going away on a trip and for collecting and friend or family member arriving in to Dublin.

Maps
Detailed, interactive 3D maps of each terminal highlighting the location of facilities, shops, bars and restaurants. This can be invaluable with a hoard of little ones in tow.

Parking
Car parking information and maps are available, as well as easy access to the online pre-booking service where you will always find the best rates. We also found one of our favourite features here – you can take a picture of where you park to avoid that stressful, if not embarrassing, task of walking laps of the car park after you land back in Dublin. We’ve all been there.

Shopping
The app provides information on the great range of shops, bars and restaurants available in The Loop. It also offers easy access to Click & Pick Up, the ‘buy online before you fly’ shop, which allows you to simply pick up your purchases upon departure.

Helpful information
One of the best features of the app is the useful information and advice it provides on areas such as security and assistance for passengers with reduced mobility. The bottom of the app displays the general wait time at security, which is incredibly handy to help you prepare any distractions for little ones if there is a wait.
