I don't think Aircoach covers the overnight hours unlike Ulsterbus.

It is now, didn't used to be but my sisters used it at 2am and 3am in the morning the other month.

again, know friends who have travelled from bel to dub with ulster bus to get early flights and have had no probs:)

Ulsterbus service 200 does hourly service 24 hours a day (some of the coaches are bus eireann or chambers under contract to translink) - last time i used it it (at around 1.30 in the morning from dublin airport to belfast, it was a cie tours bus with loads of legroom and leather reclining seats - lovely)

Aircoach.ie do not do a night time service according to their website which states:
What time is the first coach at from Belfast to Dublin Airport?
06:30hrs and the last is at 20.30hrs.
What time is the first coach at from Dublin Airport to Belfast?
07:00hrs and the last is at 21.00hrs.

dazza we took 5 suit cases + hand luggage and he only stopped at S/field/,Banbridge and Newry.This is a great service and remember that your kids will sleep on the way down as there shouldnt be many on the coach,also took around 2 hours or less as there was no traffic at that time of the night.I will use it again but have to wait until the pound is worth a lot most against the euro

Hi all,

Many, many thanks for all the responses. Well I managed to persuade the other half to go the Dublin route. We have decided that we will just get the Ulsterbus 200 service and hopefully the kids will sleep on the way down. It's going to be a loooooooooooong day as we catch the flight from Dublin to London then on to Orlando so there will be quite a bit of travelling, but for the overall savings, around £1500, those extra fews hours will allow us to buy our disney tickets etc :T . So once again, many thanks :beer:
