Summer is finally here and thousands of holidaymakers will be jetting off to hotter climes for a much-awaited time off.

Spain has reigned supreme as the number one destination for travellers to visit this summer. This is followed by the US, France, and Portugal.

June, July, and August are set to be the busiest months at Dublin Airport since 2019, according to the daa. Dublin Airport saw 3.05 million passengers travel during May, which was similar to the number that travelled in the same month in 2019 and up 17% on 2022 levels.

Here is a full list of Dublin Airport's top 10 popular summer destinations for June, July, and August this year:

Much like last summer, passengers have been advised to be in their terminal two hours prior to a short-haul flight and three hours before a long-haul departure. CEO of daa, Kenny Jacobs said: "Spain is always a magnet for Irish tourists at this time of year and the current warm and sunny spell of weather here in Ireland is likely to have whetted their appetite nicely for a week or two on the beach or beside the pool.

"Our transatlantic routes will be busy this summer too, with Chicago, New York, and Boston all featuring in our top ten destinations, while Toronto is also proving extremely popular too, sitting just outside the top ten."
