Normally I would give Aircoach full marks for its service, but recently I almost missed a flight from Dublin Airport as the bus that I should have travelled on must have zoomed past the Cornelscourt Shopping Centre stop before its scheduled time at 07.31 – despite the fact that I was at the stop about six minutes before that time. I travelled on the next bus, which arrived on time at 08.01, but because of heavy rush-hour traffic, I did not arrive at the airport until 10 a.m., 35 minutes before my flight was due to take off. Thankfully I made it to the gate by skipping queues and running as fast as I could.
