DM Executive Line specialises in executive airport transfers across Ireland. This private transfer covers Dublin Airport to Ballyfin Demesne in County Laois - around 1 hour 15 minutes with a certified driver in a Mercedes-Benz, at a fixed price with nothing added after you book.
For arrivals, your driver provides a meet-and-greet service at the airport, and you get 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time built in - so a slow carousel or a late-running flight won’t leave you rushing. For departures, your chauffeur collects you directly from your hotel.
Your driver meets you at your hotel reception for a smooth, no-fuss start to the journey. This is a private transfer - just your group.
The journey from Dublin Airport takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. You travel southwest on the M7 into County Laois, through a part of Ireland that most visitors pass through without stopping - which means it’s quiet, green and genuinely off the tourist track. Ballyfin is in the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, and the last stretch of the drive through the Laois countryside sets the tone nicely for what’s ahead.
The 60-minute waiting time at the airport removes a lot of pressure. If your bags are last off or immigration is slow, there’s nothing to worry about. Your driver will be there. This is especially useful if you’re coming off a long transatlantic flight and everything feels a little slower than usual.
Device chargers come with the car. Use the 1 hour 15 minutes in the back of the Mercedes to power up, check in with anyone waiting at your destination, and properly wind down from the journey. The WiFi is also included, so you can stay connected if you need to.
Departures from Ballyfin. For the return journey, your chauffeur collects you at the hotel. Allow around 1 hour 45 minutes to Dublin Airport to be safe, and confirm your pickup time with the operator based on your flight. Early morning pickups from Laois to Dublin are usually very straightforward - the roads are clear and the M7 moves well before the morning rush builds.
