Parking at Dublin Airport

The DAA should look at JFK Airport’s parking arrangements

Sir, – Picking up family or friends at JFK Airport in New York, you can use one of the Free Cell Phone Lot waiting areas, located at each of the primary airport entrances. Both Cell Phone Lots are less than a five-minute drive to all terminals.

Drivers wait here until the passengers are ready to be collected. People who stop and wait at the terminal are quickly dealt with. In Dublin Airport the DAA advice is to use the short-term car park, minimum charge ¤3 and another ¤4.50 if you run over the hour. It can take 15 minutes just to find a space so it’s easy to overstay.

If JFK can do it, why not Dublin, with half the passenger numbers? – Yours, etc,
