The return of international travel was welcomed by airlines across the board on Monday after a devastating year for the sector amid Covid.
New data released by Free Now reveals that with foreign travel, many Irish people are using taxis to get to Dublin airport with requests soaring by 80% from the previous week – and even more impressively, requests increased by 170% compared to the same week in 2020. Monday’s easing of restrictions, saw the busiest day for airport bookings on the app since the start of the year, while 4 am on Monday morning was the busiest hour to book a taxi.
“A holiday abroad for many people in Ireland officially begins with a taxi journey to the airport - with our team of dedicated drivers and our pre-booking function which allows passengers to book a trip up to 4 days in advance, we hope to make it a seamless and stress-free process for passengers this summer.
