Told by an advisor I can make whatever change to booking within 24 hours, call 10 minutes after booking to be told no by another advisor, ridiculous as a weekly user of the service.

What a shambles for T2 Dublin airport this morning. Ended up in a taxi as was much easier. No one to advise and timetable was not clear. A queue of very confused people. As an entry to Dublin not the welcome I would have expected and not a great advert for Dublin. Recommend a taxi if more than one of you. The extra cost worth it.

Coach was cancelled due to "extreme weather conditions". I received a short email a couple of hours beforehand leaving me with no way to get to Dublin for an early morning flight. Luckily 2 other companies were able to offer a service. There has been no communication since offering me a refund or even an apology. I have used Aircoach for years but after this and the emergence of more reliable and cheaper competition I will take my business elsewhere.

Booked on 1.25am just at the stop when it pulled out. Told I was late and bus went on time. We are 2 senior citizens after our flight was cancelled yesterday and was hoping to make that bus not to have to sit in the airport until5.55. Not the 1st time to let us down either. Can't depend on it. Used to be a great service. Not any more

Purchased a flexi ticket Belfast to Derry. Found out my flight was going to be delayed so would arrive in an hour later than originally scheduled diligently called Aircoach (as I have a paid for a flex ticket) to make them aware so my seat could be re-allocated. I was told this is not possible and I could not change my ticket as "the journey had already started from Dublin and its in the terms and conditions" who in there right mind when booking a ticket from Belfast to Derry would assume this set up. Complete joke with the service standard dropping dramatically since they purchased Airporter. JOKE OF A COMPANY!

Dear Andrew, thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us regarding your experience with Aircoach. We truly appreciate your effort in letting us know about your situation, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have faced. We understand how important it is for passengers to have flexibility and the ability to make changes to their tickets, especially when unexpected delays occur. Changes can be made up to 1 hour before the original journey departure time (e.g. if you wish to change from a stop midway through a service – the window for changes is one hour prior to the first stop on that route and not the time of departure for subsequent stops on that service).

I have appreciated Aircoach services in the past but had a bad experience today which makes me think I'll avoid them from now on! Trying to pay for a bus ticket at Dublin Airport Terminal 1 ticket booth, I was told by the staff that they could not accept payment from a chip and pin card. They could only accept a card that taps, not chip and pin. They claimed they didn't have a chip and pin reader. I was trying to use a business card to pay, and the business card requires a pin number for all transactions. Corporate policy for extra security. I never came across a retail point that had no chip and pin equipment, so that was bizarre and inconvenient. Sometimes banks require a pin at random too, as we all know. Then, to make things worse, the manager explained that "in the UK and Ireland" retailers don't have to offer chip and pin. Fair enough. But Dublin isn't in the UK. The UK and Ireland are two different countries - I could be wrong but I had the impression from this manager's accent that he was English. Maybe he's new to Dublin. I believe Aircoach started as an Irish company and has since been taken over by a larger UK-based conglomerate. But this seemed like unnecessary bad PR for Aircoach. Especially in a place full of tourists and business visitors to Ireland, we need them to know basic geography.

6.48am in the morning. Bus door did not open. Door stated turn clockwise to unlock so I did. A tiny red sign said in an emergency which the raging driver pointed out to me after shouting no one will get to the airport after what you done. Continued to raise his voice in front of all the passengers. I told him the sign confused me. 2nd time in years using the coach. Please change your signs or have the door open sooner because I thought I was causing the delay hence turning door clockwise. Visibility was bad as its pitch dark. It was the morning of storm ISHA too. I was blown to bits outside and could not see nor understand what the driver was signalling to me through the door. ..Sign should state please wait for driver to open door. Do NOT turn handle clockwise unless in an emergency.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced when the bus door did not open at 6.48am in the morning. We acknowledge that the signage regarding the door lock was confusing and we deeply regret the misunderstanding it caused. Our intention is to ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey for all passengers, and we understand that this incident must have been frustrating for you. All doors are opened by the driver & should NOT be operated by travelling passengers. Furthermore, we also understand that the visibility was poor that morning due to the storm ISHA, making it even more challenging to comprehend the driver's signals. We apologize for any additional inconvenience this may have caused.

Unhelpful, unfriendly and abusive staff and drivers. Driver of the 700 service shouted at my partner and called him an “asshole” for retrieving suitcases from right hand side of vehicle. He offered no help or instruction to us or the other (some elderly passengers) retrieving baggage at our stop and tried to drive away while the luggage door was still open.

The bus was clean and the driver was good but it’s terrible that there are no toilets. The Dublin to Belfast route is 2 hours. The bus I was on was an unbranded one and actually did have a toilet but it was locked. Unfortunately I didn’t use the toilet before leaving the airport and pretty early in the journey realised I needed to go. I asked the driver for the key but he said it was out of order. I said I might need to get off and he said he wasn’t allowed to stop. I waited for an hour which was terrible and eventually put on my coat, grabbed my bag and demanded he let me off, whereupon he gave me the key and let me use the toilet. I am not annoyed at the driver, he was following protocol but it made for a very uncomfortable journey. I am someone with no health issue but people with weak bladders, pregnant women etc should avoid this service.

We are sorry to hear about your negative experience during your journey from Dublin to Belfast. We understand your concerns, but below 3 hours journey a toilet access is not mandatory, therefore not all our buses on that route have toilet available.

We hope you will give us another opportunity in the future to provide you with a more enjoyable journey.

Why have one rule for one passenger and other for another passenger? Use air coach each month and certainly will make other plans in the future. This along with the long waits at each stop with bright lights on a night service aren't the kind i would expect on a high end service.

Even after paying for Flexi booking, I was unable to change my booking because the bus had already left it's initial destination, over two hours before I was meant to get on. The information given when paying for Flexi-booking implies that I should be able to change my booking up to one hour before my departure time, not the initial departure time of the bus. This is badly explained on the website, and when I called the helpline, I was greeted with a rude and unhelpful employee who was blunt and showed no sympathy, even though the bus I wanted to change to wasn't due to leave for another four hours. I use Aircoach all the time to travel to and from Belfast and Dublin but will now look into using other companies to cover this journey in the future.

Flexi-book is a scam. Booked jorney from Charlsland Greystones to Dublin Airport, and return tickets three weeks later. I have contacted the Aircoach about 6 hours before our return jorney to cancel it (as we arrived later than we planned), only to find out that we have already somehow used the tickets, 4 minutes after boarding the bus to the airport (3 weeks earlier) and have to buy new tickets on our jorney home. The help desk person was very rude and just said that this is what is in their system and their system doesn't lie.

I was on Aircoach route 700 from the airport on Saturday, January 13. We encountered a delay in the city center due to a public march. Unfortunately, the driver seemed unaware of the situation and hadn't taken an alternative route. Eventually, all passengers had to disembark. My daughter and I, burdened with two heavy suitcases, had to walk to the nearest Dart station. I believe the driver should have been informed in advance, and a different route could have been chosen. This experience was not only an inconvenience but also a waste of our time and money.

I’m my opinion aircoach is pretty useless when it comes to travelling direct to the airport. In this instance I’m referring to the cork to Dublin airport route. People travelling from the other end of the country to go to Dublin airport is horrible enough, but the does is not even direct. It goes into Dublin City first not taking into consideration anyone that need to catch a flight. I’m about to miss my flight because of this. If I could give no stars I would.
