Flights from Dublin to Philadelphia: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Dublin to Philadelphia 
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Jun 2026
Make sure to tell your taxi driver the terminal you are flying out of from Dublin. My taxi driver only asked me what airline and apparently there are more than one terminal for Aer Lingus. Also go extra early when flying to the US because you go through customs while in Dublin and do not have to do it when you land in the US. As far as Aer Lingus they were amazing!!!
EDFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2026
Expect a bad cushion to sit on so maybe buy something to sit on. Bring food because although you get food it’s not that good. Hopefully you’re not delayed because no one will tell you why and you won’t know until the day of
