EVER WISH YOU could just bring your baggage to the airport and check in the day before an early morning flight, to save you some stress on the day itself?
Aer Lingus Dublin has now launched its evening check-in service, which will give passengers the option to check-in their baggage at the airport the evening before their scheduled flight.
This means that people can complete their check-in transaction between 4pm and 8pm on the evening before they travel.
However, it is available exclusively to those travelling between 6am and 8am the following morning.
You don’t have to bring everyone with you to drop the bags – only one immediate family member needs to check-in for a family group, once all tickets, passports and bags are provided together.
All other individual passengers must be present for evening check-in with tickets, passports and baggage.

Nice one! Now I can compare stupidly high prices to ridiculously high prices!
“There’s a new online tool really? What’s his name,Leo Varadker?
My sister went to view a house recently at an advertised price on Daft.ie. When she arrived for the viewing with another 20 people, the price had mysteriously jumped an extra €30,000 and that’s before the (phantom) bidding war started, probably pushing the price up by another €30,000. But estate agents don’t have to disclose other bids, they just contact you weeks later to see if you are interested in bidding higher than the other (phantom) bids.
No transparency or register available of other legitimate bids, It’s an absolute farce. Buying a house in Dublin is for mugs in the current climate unless you are absolutely loaded and can afford to pay way over the odds. The only viable option is to move outside Dublin and commute, even then prices are not cheap. Longford or Cavan is the only viable option for young people hoping to get on the property ladder without spending every waking minute of their day worrying about how they are going to pay the mortgage long term.
Anyone buying this year even if they have the cash would want their head examined, its just like buying during the celtic tiger if not worse. Goldfish brain capacity
Are you predicting it will get better next year?
Fed about to raise interest rates after the US elections and the inevitable collapse of Deutche Bank, Brexit will all spark a downturn within the next two years. But let the sheep buy over priced houses they can’t afford and will end up selling to investment hedge fund parasites for half the price as few years down the road
Eircode Routing Key Area P51 includes parts of Kerry, Cork & Waterford.
Can the CSO explain how grouping properties in this manner in any way useful.?
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1ObFwqV2vtigkclpjea3sUHNhUuw
Just looked at that map, get lost, I makes absolutely no sense. Are they expecting a Nazi land invasion, … now this’ll stump em.
@Get Lost Eircodes: Good link. I never seen it mapped out like that. Truly is a nonsense system. Only use I have of it has been government letters
@Greg Blake: Did you notice that area P51 is in 2 different locations covering from Kerry to Waterford with other areas in between. Or that Area V94 includes ALL of Limerick city & county but also parts of Clare up as far as Mountshannon, parts of Kerrry as far as Abbeyfeal and parts of Co. Tipperary too.
How can the CSO buy into this?
Unless Denis Naughten is ordering them to save face.
@Get Lost Eircodes: Did they ever release the reasoning behind any of it? The first letter even. Wonder is it part of An Post internal coding ?
@lavbeer: From the very outset An Post didn’t want anything useful. They do not use Eircode in any meaningful way and not a single postman or postwoman is equipped to use it.
The system is designed to facilitate property based taxes & billing and is in essence a PPS number for your house. Great for government, sky, esb, broadband providers but utterly useless for couriers as there is no hierarchy no adjacency.
Rabbitte needed access to An Posts Geodirectory for his planned Broadcasting tax so An Post pushed a design great for taxing but useless to An Post competitors in the parcel market….hence Eircode. CWU and DCENR part of the fiasco along with Labour.
Just put my code in Says its invalid!!!
@Martina Flynn Fitzgerald: Just put in the first 3 digits. Tool isn’t great though. The area it covers is too big and you can’t drill down. This is better in my opinion https://www.propertypriceregister.ie/website/npsra/pprweb.nsf/PPR?OpenForm
Mare sure you only enter the first 3 letters/numbers.
Wont work, Our Community Council have raised questions about NAMA owned developments having houses being sold using false addresses to gazump the price, not declaring social housing that wass to be correctly integrated into the development until “Phase 1 & 2 were sold and there is absolutely not one bit of difference in what they are doing and what Seamus Ross did when he gave Liam Lawlor €25,000 to say a site in Clondalkin was in Lucan. Nothing has changed
Mr Corruption Liam Lawler was also paid to put a ballyfermot housing estate in Cherrywood. That guy was one evil, corrupt individual. Quite similar to Bertie
That Property Price Register is a load of crap. I have lived in my property for 14 years and it was newly build. According to their register, my home sold in 2010 was an extortionate amount….I first became aware of this back when they were introducing property tax. This site was recommended for you to get an idea of what your property was worth. And low and behold, my property is listed as having sold. I have contacted them to make they aware of their error and left it at that thinking it would be resolved. Just had another look there and it still states my house was sold in 2010…. Something doesn’t add up…..
The scam I am talking about is when Planning Applications are made, in this case, to South Dublin County Council giving a false, wrong and misleading townland/district. When the houses are not built there is no area code and the planners have a duty to ensure (A) that the planning application is correct, not misleading and gives the correct site address. (B) That a proposal for Road Naming is approved by the council to ensure it is not misleading or gives the impression that it is in an area where it is later discovered is is not to be. (C) That developments of over 100 homes must integrate social housing.
It is simply wrong for NAMA owned recovery projects to use false and misleading information that for example could lead to a buyer thinking they were buying a house in a development shown on a colour brochure as being in Ballsbridge only for them later to find they paid €30,000 over the odds on their new home that is located in a different area altogether and that has (correctly) social housing integrated into what they thought at the time of purchase was an exclusive site.
It is wrong, wrong, wrong as The Donald would say. Is there collusion between banks, NAMA and the government for NAMA to be able to be able to lick up to Kenny saying how much they recovered from sites where builders were forced forced into fire sales of developments they could have rescued? You bet. Insider trading, Fire sales that should never have happened and now fraud in the form of pumping up prices using false addresses on sales brochures.
Good lord eircode will never ever get rid of Dublin 4, 6 and of course 6w isn’t that right Ross OCaroll Kelly go in the ROK
Let’s face it – I DO know my Eircode.
I have some problems with the CSO tool. I think the biggest problem is that is gives you the “mean” average and not the “median” average. Although I had to work that out for myself by downloading the data from property register dot ie. I think the median would have been much better to use, this average is not inflated if there is a sale or two of a million euro home in the area :)
The other problem is that it doesn’t give the average for new and second-hand homes separately — that would have been very useful indeed! So I threw together my version of the app, it’s still a work in progress and is not perfect but even in it’s beta state I feel it is more useful:
Complete Shite, tried to find both my home in Clare and my wife’s in Lucan. Both came up ‘Invalid’ despite using the Eircodes supplied by the Post Office. So either this is wrong or Eircodes is shite…….
have your say
